Each Day Is a Gift

AM:  Walked/jogged 2.5 mi on MCT listening to BoM by myself.  Quads a little stiff otherwise feeling fine.  No problem going up and down stairs! :)

PM:  core stability

Evening:  Walked 0.5 mi with hubby.  

Ran with Wendy, Karen and Leslie on MCT.  Wendy only wanted 3 because she's running Huntsville Half on Sat. so I ran her home while Karen and Leslie ran to Highland for more miles.  AP: 10:05.  Legs feeling fine!  :)  Such beautiful running weather! :) Tomorrow I'll run on the JRP at 10900 S. (by dialysis center).  

Hubby was up every couple hours through the night.  When he woke me at 5:30, we were both super tired.  He was too drowsy to drive.  I managed to get us to dialysis center by 6:30 and waited a bit to get in.  After getting him settled in, I ate my yogurt, checked mail and cleared his iPad; then changed into running clothes.  By the time I headed out it was 8:45.  As usual there were swarms of gnats and a good stiff headwind going south on the JRP.  Saw the same usual runners, walkers and the gentleman in the motorized wheelchair with his little canine companion.

My legs felt surprisingly good.  Today's the final run for the Humpday Fitness Event so I decided to give a little extra effort.  I got a bit winded on the 4th mile so stopped and walked the remainder 0.5 mile back to the dialysis center.

4 miles TT: 34:32  AP: 8:36  Splits: 9:23, 8:51, 8:13, 8:04.  Very pleased with today's run. Would've run longer but short on time...may be tomorrow! :)

After dialysis, drove hubby to the West Jordan Liberty dialysis center where Karen, the PD nurse flushed his PD catheter.  The fluid drain out was light amber with couple of clots. The surgical wound and exit site looks good and the bruisings have decreased significantly.  Dressing was dry and new one applied.  Will see Karen on Oct 7 to begin PD training.  We're glad it's after SGM so we don't have to stress over that too! :)

Hubby has developed a bit of a cough for nearly 2 weeks now; so on the way home, I stopped at the pharmacy and bought him some cough med.  He is so wiped out!  I wish there was something I could do to help him.  

Slow and easy solo run on MCT to 1600W turn around to 800E listening to BoM.  Clear blue sunny sky!  

Trying to decide which marathons to run after SGM....

Clear blue sunny sky; gorgeous morning.  Ran with Karen and Leslie east to SR92 to Highland trail; drank at Highland park by Mountain Ridge JHS and turned back west to MCT drank at 800 N.  Nice conversational pace.  Legs felt fine; got a little winded on the steeper uphill on SR92 westbound; so walked for 10 sec.  Exactly 8.5 miles to my house; normally I'd run them home and back for extra couple miles...but, I refrained today since I did not eat anything pre-run...plus I should taper for SGM! :) :) :)  TT: 1:24:00 AP: 9:53.

Core stability.  I think we'll go swimming tomorrow morning since rain and colder temp is forecast.
