Off work today and kids out of school so Kim and I enjoyed sleeping in until about 7. Ran about 5K easy while Kim rode the bike. Actually she is still out riding, I think she has some pent up energy with not having run all week other than a couple of miles on Monday. Ave pace 8:34. Ave/Max HR: 150/163.
Kim and I ask for your prayers today as my brother and sister-in-law and family deal with a very tough set of circumstances. My neice's wedding is this afternoon in Mapleton. My brother and his wife (the bride's father and mother) left California Wednesday with plans on stopping in St. George and then arriving at our house yesterday where they planned on staying during all the wedding and reception doings. My sister-in-law had been battling cancer and just finished up chemotherapy and had been doing well. However yesterday morning some complications arose that have resulted in her spending much of yesterday in the ER in Cedar City and last night in the ER in Provo. We are really hoping and praying she will be able to at least attend the wedding but it's not clear at the moment what will happen. Life just seems pretty unfair at times, she had been doing so well. Just 2 weeks ago her father passed away so they came up and stayed with us for the funeral. At that time she was doing pretty well healthwise and had improved steadily since then until the sudden turn of events yesterday. Her son is also getting married in just a few weeks. We so much just want her to be able to have enough health and strength to be able to enjoy and celebrate these special occasions in her children's lives.
