Did my favorite Ronald Pugh vintage park loop. Ap 9:38. I have a strange thing to report. Since the skin infection they gave me a two week dose of prednisone. Since being on the prednisone, I have felt stronger, been less tired, have run faster and felt better overall than I have since 2010. I have been to an internist and endocrinologist with no answers to. my situation. I don't even know what prednisone treats besides suppressing the immune system for rashes or kidney transplants. But I feel the best I have felt in a very, very long time and I know it's the prednisone. I'll go off it in 2 days and so I can see if it really makes a difference. It's not good to take prednisone long term, but its interesting that the problem could be adrenal rather than endocrine. It's not like I can take prednisone long term, but I can say that it has changed my life in 2 weeks..

I finally heard from my daughter in Japan. She arrived on Sunday and I know she has been in love since the moment she arrived. One of her first friends in the neighborhood was a Japanese exchange student named Elisa. Elisa lives in Tokyo and so met her old friends from our high school for their tour. They are having a wonderful tour. She'll be in Nagano by Friday to stay the weekend with a family and go to school.

As for today's run, I felt very strong. Prednisone has changed my life and now my dosage for the skin rash/infection is done. It will be interesting to see if I revert.

On another FRB note, met Michelle L and Marion to swim the Spanish For Reservoir while Michelle is visiting from Hong Kong. It was so fun to see them. I miss those fun times we used to have at Michell's house. I have to go to Hong Kong and Australia next year. I just have to visit Michelle and Susanna.
