Morning dailies.

5 miles this morning on the TM for me.

In yesterday's daily thread I reported that my G-pa (who's almost 65 yrs my senior) is in the hospital. I was able to visit him yesterday and the moment I laid eyes on him I knew how this trip to the doctor was going to end. Yesterday after I left the primary doctor told my mom that my Grandpa is on his way out. Basically he had a heart attack, and it takes quite a toll on someone who's about to have his 96th birthday. I don't think his body can recover from it, and he's starting to decline. He's currently having problems removing the carbon dioxide from his blood. This leads to something that looks like a seizure, but we confirmed that it's not. Unfortunately his mind isn't quite in the game. Asked yesterday by the doctor on where he was at, he responded, "BORNEO!" Yeah, his mind has started going back to this in his past, like Korea. It's going to be a sad time, but honestly I didn't know him very well. It just stinks whenever you lose a family member.

I am sorry to hear this.  Hope his passing is peaceful. :-(

Andrew - So sorry about your grandpa. Will be thinking of your family.

Pink - Continuing to think of you and hope everything goes well!

I've got 5 on tap this evening with the RP. I'm working from home today, so I can actually get some work done. Tomorrow is the dreaded meeting day, so I won't get jack done.

Have a great Monday!

What up homies?

I have a massage scheduled at lunch.  Otherwise, I got a big, fat zero things planned today outside of work.

I made some awesome GF orange and cranberry scones this weekend.   Just wanted to throw that out there.   Yum.

 

Good for you, Jess!    :-)     And, after that big ole PR yesterday, you deserve a rest day!   Congrats again!

Thanks It is my excuse to eat nutter butters and drink Dr Pepper. I have my fingers crossed for you!!

Hello everyone, took the weekend off from running and enjoyed some great football Saturday and a nice workout at the gym sunday. Will try and get out tonight for 4-5 miles.

Have a 10k race next Saturday. Super excited about that. Hoping to set a new PR, will need to run it faster than 56:17 chip time.

Found out Saturday that a good friend of mine had a friend of his pass away. He was the baseball coach for the 5-6 year old baseball team. He was married with a 5 year old son. He had gotten over a really bad stomach virus and was planning to fly out Saturday to go to the Auburn / Texas game. He died very suddenly, have not heard anything back from the autopsy. Very sad news just keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Hey, everyone!  On behalf of my brother, a fb employee, I apologize for the issues.  I have yet to ask him what happens but I bet he knows. (it's not his fault, though, he is an app programmer).

Brr, and jblackjr, I am so sorry to both of you.  My best wishes, of course, to everyone.

Anyway, sorry I haven't been doing personal shoutouts, work has been crazy busy lately, I get home at 9pm and just crash.  My own running is great, all easy miles and getting my body used to the movement again.  Got 16 total for last week plus 1.5 miles swim and a hard interval spin session, and two lifting sessions.

Today, 5 miles easy/8:19 pace pretty steady.  Feels good to run easy, it's amazing not ever to feel totally beat up or tired from speedwork.  That said, of course I still miss it... but my attitude might be changing. Slightly.

Good afternoon, at the tone the time will be....of course you youngsta's wouldn't know anything about 472-1212.

 

Man, it seems my morning flew.  Just made a quick pit stop at Olive Garden for some soup and salad then it's off to PT at 1:30.

I remember that number.  Though in my case it was 225-1212.  Good luck with PT.  I seem to recall last time the screams could be heard two states away?
