| "long" run. 1.5 hours on the river trail, including a loopy course through a bird sanctuary, which was quite beautiful and peaceful, but also paved. I did a little over 10 miles, slow and easy. Later, I went to a hilly trail place on the edge of town and ran a few with my hubby. It was hot later in the day, so he did not want to go far. | |

| My other brother and sister arrived in Boise today. We have taken Dad off of "life support" (hooray!), and he immediately sat up and started living again. miles this morning on the river trail and bird sanctuary again. So flat, so paved. Sigh.

| A t paced run with my brother Doug. 96 degrees! I am just soaking up the heat, and loving every minute of the dry warmth. Dad is lobbying to go home, and I am in agreement! Even with the obstacles to getting him there, he cannot let himself die in the hospital, and I totally get that. Maybe tomorrow, but it will have to be by ambulance. Whole family is gathered, for the first time in a long time, and its quite the reunion.

| Quick run this morning, from my hotel to the hospital, where arrangements are being made to get an ambulance to La Grande, three hours away. I leave first, to arrive at Dad's house in advance of the rest of the caravan, to meet the hospice workers and get the equipment set up for Dad's arrival. Dad is very focused on getting home, but says he might not make it home. I know he will, and he does.

| Not "easy" miles at all! Mountain run, thankfully on trails, very steep and technical. My cup of tea exactly. Not getting enough sleep the last week or so. We were up at 3 when Dad woke and needed something. Trying to let Mom get her rest and not be disturbed. Everyone is here, so I'll go home tomorrow and come back later when more hands are needed. It appears that he will live day by day anyway, and is going out into his garden, etc.

| A swim this morning in the public pool here! Beautiful pool, and not crowded at all in the early morning hours. At home, I am so intimidated by the early swims, all "masters" and stuff. Here it is very mellow and I have a lane all to myself. Later, flying home to Bellingham. My hubby drove home in the car several days ago. It will be good to be home.

| Making up some of the lost sleep! To make things even harder, Boise was absolutely flooded with young soccer players while we were there, making hotel rooms very scarce, so we had to scramble around every night for somewhere to stay, and moved every day. It was a little stressful, and even the sleep I got was not good sleep. My own bed was lovely! I worked at the Padden Triathlon this morning, assisting bikers getting ready for their races. Kind of sad, since this was supposed to be my first tri. I am not doing so well on racing plans this summer, between my illness and my Dad's illness! Taking the day off anything active; I am just too tired.
