Very tired and slightly sore today (did my work right yesterday). I had to cancel the planned hill sprints. I will mostly likely do them on Wednesday. The hill sprints in my program are always scheduled at the end of the Monday "easy" run; I don't think that's going to work most weeks. I work pretty hard on Sundays and aside from the psychological challenge (just getting out to run at all!), I'm going to need Mondays to be Pure Easy. I think it would be best to evaluate it on a week to week basis for now. Some weeks it might be doable. Later that same day.... I forgot to mention a couple of things earlier. The first is rather trivial: I am retiring the blue Nikes today. They felt a little weird this morning. The second is not trivial. Believe it or not, my father-in-law has still not left the hospital. Last night we heard they had to put him back on the ventilator. He now has pneumonia. Some blood thinners made his lungs bleed. And he has 5 different bacterial infections. How can a man survive so much? My poor MIL practically lives at the hospital and cannot do much of anything for him. It's just one thing after another. All so sad.
