20 minutes upright bike.

One hour step interval class.

Ok, I should not be doing classes with my achilles.  It has been acting up since SGM, yeah, shame on me for not letting it heal.  I have finally scheduled to have it checked out next week.

Nothing yet today.  Dad is admitted to hospital and trying to figure out what is causing his pain.  

On a brighter side, Senator Hatch and 8 days of Hanukkah.

Eight Days of Hanukkah

I'd prefer Adam Sandler's song:

Diagnosis for my dad is much more serious than we thought, pericarditis. Transferred to the cardiac ICU.

One hour strike class. 30 minutes arc trainer.  Still lots of tightness in the soleus.

Should have done something besides overeating.  (I eat when I don't work out.)

30 minutes on elliptical before kids' great-grandmother's viewing.  I stopped at 30 minutes because my elliptical was making a slight grinding sound, so my 13-year old daughter and I took it partially apart to try to see what was going on.  (I am not very mechanical, and she is much better at that sort of thing.)  Anyway, seems to be something I couldn't identify, though some wd-40 did make it more quiet.

One hour strike.  30 minutes arc.  One at 8:00, finally did some running, still lots of tightness.

Wife's grandmother's funeral today.  

(Yesterday my dad said his arm was bleeding where the pic line had been and since he is on blood thinners we called the home nurse.  The nurse said there was no bleeding.  I think my dad had been dreaming when we woke him up with a call.  Seems we will have to verify things next time.)

Never reported on my visit with Dr. T way back on December 8.  Fortunately, nothing too severe, such as no tumors and no signs of any fractures or bone injury.  However, I do have soleus tendonitis (not the achilles, but the deep calve muscle) which is likely from muscle imbalance combination of my left soleus and right hip muscles.  So, I am supposed to be doing some exercises to work on fixing this, but I've been terrible at it.  Also, I shouldn't run as much as I was in my light-weight trainers as they have a lower heal which was aggravating things.

One hour strike class.

15 minutes elliptical.

5 at 8:30.

Holidays were great, but life has still been crazy -- got a call yesterday that the paramedics were at my dad's condo (which is very close to my house) so I hurried over.  His home health nurse had called 911 when he told him of the symptoms he was having.  He got transferred via ambulance back to the hospital where my wife joined him and ended up spending the day in the emergency department with him until the physicians finally decided it was safe to send him home.  So, hopefully, he will stabilize again.
