Making the most of things
No hesitation about running tonight. My father was admitted to hospital again and he’s in a bad state mentally with the dementia, worse than he’s ever been. He’s also bad physically – turns out he has a broken rib. The people in hospital will earn their money looking after him tonight. So I was determined to go when I could. Never know when that might change.
I suppose it was a class of a tempo run. It felt hard and I felt heavy initially, but I ran mile 2 under 10 mins and the third just over 10 so was happy enough and enjoyed it. Carpe diem.
Very sorry to hear about your father – sadly all too common these days and I wish him well. Sometimes the running helps a little.
Thank you – it’s a very cruel disease there’s no doubt. At least he is safe where he is now.
Even at such a pace, was that able to help center you? Prayers for your father and his care takers.
Thanks Matt. It’s very sad, it shocking to see what the disease does to people.
Yeah, it’s awful, and I don’t even know how to relate. But despite our geographic differences, you’re not alone tonight
Thank you. That’s very kind of you.
It’s funny, when he’s good he asks me to say a prayer for him and I will tonight
I have and will, too, Julie.
Sorry to hear that.
Thanks Antin
