I ran for an hour, and then took a Body Pump class.   I really hate weight lifting, but I think it will help my injury issues if I strengthen up.  But, I can't lift my arms over my head without whimpering.   I am very happy my achilles seems to be doing pretty well, though I plan on another month of just mileage before I try to hit any workouts again. 

We had a major scare yesterday.  My 2-year-old nephew pulled a china cabinet down on himself and the glass shattered all over the poor kid.  He pulled through it pretty well, all things considered.  There is no nerve damage in the face, and the tendon in his knee that the doctors thought might be cut, is intact.  But, he has over 100 stitches, and a full cast on his leg.   During the Thanksgiving weekend it was a huge reminder of what is really important in life.  You can bet that I appreciated my own healthy children even more.
