Tuesday was a fun 50 minute run on the track. Coach joined me for part of it.

Winter is back with vigor this morning. I will possibly come directly home after work and do cardio.

I heard a snow plow.

Happy runs, All!  :::HUGS:::

Good Morning!  Stormy morning here.  Almost skipped group power class.  Reset the alarm for 40 more minutes then decided to just get my butt to class.  Got two blocks from the house and remembered I had reset the timer.  Turned around to go home and turn it off.  Still made it to class on time.

Damaris--glad you feel good enough to bike.  I'm sure the doc told you not to do too much too soon? 

Karen-- QR Dulce is on my list.  Got my tax refund today.   Won't cover the full price, but I think I am just going to do it and get it over with.

Have a great day!

Snowy morning, but looks like the sun is about to come out and it should all be gone by the time I get off work. Which is good, since I have a 12 mile medium-long run on the schedule tonight. Which I don't want to do. This morning the roads were covered with snow and I was driving out of the neighborhood at about 25 mph (speed limit is 30, and did I mention, the roads were covered with snow). Some idiot speeds around me in a corner. I'm pretty sure he was one of the cars in a pileup I passed a couple miles outside of our neighborhood.

I am trying to get ready for my two committee meetings in our offices next week. I can do complex spreadsheets and calculations, write and edit pages and pages of documents, but when it comes to all these little details, like making table tents and making sure we have food and coffee and soda, making sure the guard desk at the front of the building has an attendee list......yikes. I'm a nervous wreck.

Camille, thanks. And you are right, days are getting longer. It's now not completely dark when I leave at 6:30 in the morning, and I don't need my headlights when I drive home at 5 p.m. Glad the PT seems to have worked for the hip.

Susan, keep us posted on the bike shopping. I hate it when I do stuff like that. I tend to forget to turn off the alarm when I go out of town, so it goes off at 6 a.m. and DH can't figure out how to turn it off.

Morning Judy and Ginny. And everyone yet to come. I should stop procrastinating and figure out how to print out these stupid tent cards. I figure if I can do at least one stupid task a day, I should get to the meeting okay.

Did 5.4 yesterday with RN (running neighbour) and then 4 more to go to the post office. Check for online class arrived, woo hoo!

There is a not very large storm approaching and from the weather forecasters' fuss you'd think the polar vortex had swerved west and was heading for Los Angeles. I suppose being a weather forecaster is an awfully boring job in our area, but still, the drama is unbelievable.

4 miles this morning in the beginning of a light drizzle. I then went the gym at lunch today, I haven't had a TM workout since last Wednesday due to WFH and various work commitments. 7.38 in 65 minutes. Much better.

Good meeting with the hospice nurse yesterday. Our regular nurse is sick so a different one came, one who's been nursing for 40 years and has seen it all, and she had some good suggestions for managing DH's agitation and discomfort. We are using the Ativan more and she ordered some cream that delivers it through the skin rather than having to give DH oral meds. I don't think he had more than 8 ounces of fluid yesterday total, milk, water, and tea, and he had one mouthful of solid food and choked and gagged it up. Nurse said DH's progression is not unusual with stubborn old men -- and heaven knows he meets THAT description! -- rather than a gradual steady decline they sometimes keep fighting and go on longer than expected and then suddenly hit a wall and go downhill fast, it's like they fight for ages and then finally give up. I hope that's the case and honestly, for DH's sake as well as mine and DS's, I hope he can find peace soon. This isn't life. It's a miserable existence.
