AM: (7 miles, 59:46). Had to get on the road earlier than usual because I had a 7:00 AM conference call, and I had to get ready for a talk that I had to give at 12Noon. Then I had to rush home, to get ready for a talk I am giving tomorrow at Ventana (a subsidiary of Roche). And, I have two days of grant reviews Thursday/Friday - and my grants were due at 9AM (I did not make the deadline - oh well ;-) they won't fire me - we don't get paid to do it ;-) ). It was much cooler out at 5:30 than it usually is at 8AM! Surprising to me that I ran this so quickly ... also surprising how good I felt today. PM: easy, I do mean easy, 4. Sigh. Another day, another 5 mins of poison ;-). So much closer to Thursday (my 1/2 way point). I met with my doctor today, she is pleased with how everything is looking (e.g., my skin is starting to look burned, but nothing serious in terms of blisters, etc.). It is starting to get irritated when I run - so I have improvised by cutting a square from an old, soft, t-shirt and using that as a barrier between my skin and my sports bra (TMI, I know). My doctor was quite impressed with my ingenuity ;-) ... she is a little worried about the heat and inflammation while I run, but she wants me to run (which is good) if I can. I am so busy with work that it makes it better with the fatigue, since I don't have time to dwell on how tired I am ;-). I hope you are all doing well!!
