mixed bag weekend
Running wise, it was a pretty quiet weekend. Saturday morning Aaron and I went to the Kinsmen Sport Center for 15 minutes around the track. Afterward, he took me into the gym and showed me some terrific leg exercises which I hope to do at least once a week - just gotta figure out which day will work best.
On the home front, Friday night Lori and I noticed Christopher coughing. I know we both thought “uh-oh, here we go again” because he’s been sick a lot lately. To make a long story short, he got progressively worse, none of us got a lick of sleep all weekend which ended last night with him and I spending five hours in the Misercordia Hospital emergency room. Even though we were there for a long time, the doctors and nurses were great and Christopher was 100% better when we left for home. It turns out he has a touch of pneumonia and may be asthmatic. The Doc advised we should follow-up with our family doctor to see if he is asthmatic or if it is just something that occurs when he’s sick. Of course, I’m hoping for the latter.
On the positive side of things, it looks like my achilles tendonitis is gone. I’ll take it easy for a couple more days but it feels really good!
I love reading about your runs because I know most of the locations you speak of.

Glad that the achilles has mended, and especially glad that Christopher is feeling better. My niece (20 months old) gets hit hard with every repiratory bug that comes around and is a hairbreadth away from an asthma diagnosis (runs in her fam), but once it’s diagnosed there are good protocols to manage it and things may actually get easier in that way. Best wishes!
