An Update

It had been a very long time since I have made a post.  The reason for that was my son became very sick back in April, the day before we were to fly to Florida and head out on our disney cruise.  I won't go into the details of his illness but am happy to report that he is doing very well with his recovery and it is almost a blessing that he doesn't seem to remember that we were supposed to go on the cruise and has not mentioned it at all.  He may recall it if he sees a disney commercial on TV but so far that has not happened.

While he was in the hospital I made sure to take care of myself.  This included eating well and still doing my training for my half marathon.  If I had not kept this up I am sure that I would have been more of a mess then I was.  It just goes to show how exercise and eating healthy sometimes are the treatment that we need to keep us mentally strong.

My race is just 12 days away and I actually feel ready for it.  I know I won't PR this race but i will be able to run it and not feel like I am dying.  I have taken a few weeks of from personal training because of what was going on so I am heading back for a session today.  I am sure tomorrow I won't be able to move but it will feel great getting back to it.  I was starting to see some changes from just 8 sessions so hopefully now I will be able to get to 2-3 sessions/week. 

Not much else to say for today.  Need to think of some meals and do some prep work.  I am off work until June 6th which is kind of nice after the nightmare we went through.  Time to regroup and get things back to normal.
