The Ups and Downs

It's Thursday already. Time sure does have a way of flying by. It's been a pretty good week until today so I'll recap. I took Monday off to recover from my "long" run on Sunday. Tuesday I got a 6 miler in at the lake and felt pretty good. I went to SP and did an exchange massage with a women that I'm going to trade with. I get mine tomorrow and cannot wait. My whole body hurts. (again) I didn't run on Wednesday and went to both the chiro and the sports doctor. They both think I'm improving however, not as quickly as I think I should be. I did get the go ahead to do lower body strenghtening and I'm looking forward to starting that. I did a very abbreviated workout yesterday afternoon just to see how my week hamstrings and glutes would respond. It will take time before I'm able to do a complete workout but I will get there. Today I went back to the lake and ran 6 again. I had discomfort during most of my run but not too bad. I'm very sore now and will make it a point to do some self-deep tissue massage later.
I got a call today that my brother in Florida is in intensive care and not in very good shape after having a bloodclot go to his lung stopping his heart during a routine shoulder operation. I'm so up in the air now as to what to do. I should probably get my butt down there to see what I can do but then again, what can I do and I already have several commitments here as well although they could certainly be cancelled.
