First, a quick running update. Ran again this morning. A little over 2 miles in 30 min. I felt good and I ran the entire 1st mile without walking. Very happy about that one. It is very slow getting back into running shape, but I know that if I keep at it I will get better.
Second, both my Nana (maternal grandmother) and Paw-Paw in-law (MIL grandfather) are in congestive heart failure. My Nana is 94, will be 95 in March. My Paw-paw in-law is 86. Unfortunately, I am not really that close to my Nana. She lives in Topeka, KS and I really have not seen her that much in the last 20 years. They are giving her some drugs to help relieve the fluid buildup and I am hoping that she can recover as much as possible. We are planning on going to Kansas in March to celebrate her 95th birthday.
My wife's Paw-paw on the other hand is not doing so well. He is in the hospital again now and will be in there for a few days. He is the closest thing I have ever had to a grandfather. Both of mine died before I graduated from high school.
I apologize for being a downer. Just remember to tell your parents and grandparents you love them today.
Total miles: 14

What a great reminder.
ReplyDeleteSorry. :(
ReplyDeleteI've just got one parent left. I'm calling her right now and I promise I'll be mushy and lovey-dovey.
