Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

Biked to Dr. Kingston's and back. He said that I can start going just once/week now, rather than twice/week. This a good, b/c appts in general are time sucks. I also ordered Josse's magic colon cleanse this morning. Hopefully it will be worth the money. Ran out to First Dam and back with Jon and Cody. Did a couple miles of tinman tempo on the way (around 6:15-6:20 pace). 7:29/mile average. Foot and hip were sore during the run.

Nothing today. Had a long night last night, with only a couple hours of sleep. Stacy wasn't feeling well yesterday, and it escalated to vomiting plus contractions. Not a good combo. We went to the hospital around 10:30PM, and ended up spending the night. Stacy was pretty dehydrated and sucked down 3 I.V. bags. They gave her meds for the contractions and nausea, which both went away by early morning (by "early morning, I mean around 2AM). Liver enzymes tested high and platelets low. The doctors ended up thinking it might have been a virus she picked up or something she ate. Still waiting to get a couple tests back. But she was feeling really good by morning, and eating normally again. We went home around 2PM. We gave the experience a 3.5 - 4.0 on the "Drama scale". Not too dramatic, but something to keep the week interesting. It definitely could have turned out worse.
In pharmaceutical news, I've switched NSAIDs from diclofenac to meloxicam, which is reportedly much easier on the gut. I'll be the judge of that. If it doesn't improve, I'll revert back to small amounts of ibruprofen as needed (which I've taken for years without any problems) and cross my fingers that diet and supplements will help. Otherwise, there's a heck of a lot of pain and swelling. | | Comments(4) |

| Another rough day; Stacy back in the hospital. She has upset stomach again, and a fair bit of related pain. Doctor is baffled, as blood, urine, and ultrasound tests aren't conclusive. We ended up getting some nausea medication and sent back home after about 10 hours. I, for one, am looking forward to "real labor", which does not involve vomiting and produces something for all the hard work. When we got home, I ran the dog for about a mile, just to move my joints a little. | | Comments(3) |

| Ran we Jon this morning. He was doing a long run, so I went from my house to up the River Trail a little ways, and then turned back. 11 miles total, my longest run since December. We fought a canyon wind on the way up (plus the uphill), but I got moving a little bit on the way down, and hit my last 5 miles in 6:44, 6:33, 6:28, 6:28, and 6:20. Feel like I'm starting to get some endurance back. Averaged 7:19/mile for the run. | | Comments(5) |
