I blew off running this weekend. It felt sorta nice. So I had a little extra energy this morning for some faster paces. My avg. was 8:32. I started at 9:19 and my last mile was 7:56. I saw one other runner out this morning. I said a big hello and he ignored me. Then I saw him again about .75 miles later (we must have been running around the same main streets). That time he said hi. I'm pretty sure I covered a little more ground than he did. I saw Erin, Luke's mom, over the weekend. She is going back to work today (and dreading it). She said she cries easily and she is a little tired of people wanting to hug her. Please think about her today. Also, you know how bad things always come in 3s? I found out my 3rd thing a couple days before Luke's funeral but I didn't want to post it because I was, at that point, tired of being so pathetic. Well, my sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer (she's 33). It has spread to a couple lymph nodes, but luckily nowhere else. She will be having surgery on June 2. I don't know yet what the rest of her treatment will be like, but I know it will be a tough time for her. I will be taking at least my nephew (they also have a daughter) for a week or so in June. I'm sure they will need more help, but that's all I know so far.
