To My Health

Just a note to everyone who has been thinking about or praying for me: I am doing well. I am on a wait-and-see approach with my doctor. I'll go back for more tests in June and then we'll compare those results to the ones from March. That should tell us where we're headed with all this.

I'm comfortable with that, and I'm relieved to be able to live like a mostly healthy person for two more months. I feel almost normal again, and I'm mostly back to my usual routine.

Thank you to everyone who has wished me well or thought of me more than usual or watched my kids or brought me treats and surprises. I am forever grateful for your love and kindness. It feels so good to know that when I reach out for a hand, there are dozens there ready to take mine and walk with me.

Personal Record

I ran the Shamrock Shuffle today. I was aiming for a sub 47 10K, and I had been doing speed training up until 2 weeks ago. I finished in 46:56, just making my time by 4 seconds. I am proud of myself. I set a goal, worked hard, and reached it. I'm not sure what's next, so I'll enjoy this one for a while.
