Yesterday was one of those rare days at the gym when everything feels easy. I don't know what it was - if I really wasn't working as hard as I thought, but stuff was feeling good and like I was stronger! I have been doing some sort of shuffle things that K suggested with a band, for my adductor/IT band strengthening and I think they have already had an impact after only a few times! nice one.
Running this weekend wasn't so easy though - Saturday was a grey day and not nearly as nice out as the other days have been. Still, I haven't been able to get outside, so it was a joy in itself. I tried a different route that ended up being a tad longer, but meant that the last 4 miles, pretty much, were all uphill. It felt okay, but I was dying by the end! Aside from that, things have been pretty much the usual. I missed the Southern XC championships, which I am a bit bummed about - it is a great (hard!) race, but my teammates did well, and we got second as a team for the ladies - I like to think we could have won had I been there!
Things are going well at home - Dad has perked up quite a lot, and we have been making it out of the house quite a bit more - went to young C's wrestling last week, and M's bday party this weekend. We also had trips to the oncologist's to do some tests and things - he was impressed with the progress as well, and mentioned the possibilities of looking into treatments now that he might be a bit stronger!! Fantastic news for us all ~ I hope something can come of it.
I am missing London quite a lot by now, but am trying to keep things in perspective - It is most important that I am here, I know that.
