5.5 easy miles 2 miles with Livvy, nice and easy. Livvy has Beta Thalassemia Intermedia which makes it hard for her to get enough oxygen sometimes (since one of the polypeptides on hemoglobin is missing she does not have as much of a capacity to attach oxygen to her red blood cells). Today seemed to be a harder day for her. With that said, Livvy is probably the least fit in our family (also secondary to her lack of energy sometimes) so it may have had more to do with that than anything. It's kind of a rough cycle for her. She often doesn't have enough energy to exercise, which then leads to her being less fit, making exercise even harder. I may take her to a blood specialist to see if there is anything we can do other than the supplements they advised us to give her when she was an infant. She is so freaking cute though! She is also really liking cheerleading but gets crazy tired when they do conditioning. There has got to be something else that we can do. :-) After running with Livvy I ran an additional 3.5 miles on the trails up above Greystone. Short rocky trails, but still fun. |
