A REAL Update
ok, today was a great run with TNT. I did the miles in a decent time (16 or so in 2:45:39) and feel great. Decided to change my next race with TNT and doing san antonio RnR instead. most likely the half, but not sure yet. it would make THREE marathons in under 6 months if I decide to do that, and FOUR if you include Disney in january. i really may do the full… just to prove i can. I’ve got a coupld of halves right after that, but that would just be icing on the cake for disney and treat it as speedwork. I’ve got TONS of TnT commitments coming up, one on Monday that i’m pretty sure i won’t be able to make, but that is OK… I think!! Then there is some stuff comingup on weekends that should be lots of fun…. all i need to do is (tomorrow probably) is write down everything in the calendar… both paper and electronic.
Other stuff—I had an appointment with the GYN on that fibroid in my utereus on Thursday. turns out its the size of being 3 months pregnant. The choices are just waiting until it shrinks or an hysterectomy. I’m going for the latter given a choice. Not a great one, but a choice that will take a lot of the pain out of things out of my life…. if you know what I mean. i’ve got an appointment with a surgeon on wednesday about some rectal growth stuff that needs to be removed so that will be good too. how to pay for all this will be fun. the GYN understands that the running stuff comes first and all this surgery and things will be worked around the marathons and training thereof. cool, huh. (It doesn’t hurt that these guys KNOW I will jump through hoops to get info for them… so one hand washes the other, I guess…)
dave is doing OK with all this, worried as always. but he knows that more good for me (us) will come out of this than anything else…. he is feeling better than usual which is a good things.
In yet OTHER news, we sold Mom’s house and car this week… saving us about $800/mo. Its sad, but you know, it really helps in the healing process.
