Kamikaze Geckos (Page 18)

Glad to hear Dad is doing well following surgery, Kristen!  That's always good news.

Another "recovery" swim today as I climbe the Gecko Ladder of Success.  

Go Team!

sounds like the new digs are working out -  

Glad things are better Kristen.  Must be exhausted with all the driving!

I think reducing goals due to a father in the hospital for a triple bypass is certainly acceptable.  Glad to hear he is better.  All the more reason to celebrate him on Sunday

Had a nice run this morning.  Legs felt good even after the bike ride last night.  Could feel a bruise brewing in my left cheek from the dump though.  One of these days I will get it figured out.

enders_shadow - 2008-06-12 6:02 AM Oh, and here's an update... Just popping in with a quick update. Thanks for all of your prayers and thoughts - they must've worked. Dad's surgery went well - or as well as a triple-bypass can go. At least it was only 3. Tuesday he was in surgery most of the day. Saw him Tuesday night in recovery and he looked god-awful, but he was sleeping. Wednesday we got to see him every couple hours for a few minutes ( silly ICU rules...no, I know they're good, but it sucks after you drive so far) - he looked much better. They had him eating and walking and he was alert for all the visits. I'm headed home today after the first visiting period. Not only do I have the 13 hour drive ahead of me, but I'm going to lose the hour coming east. But I'm starting early and the monkeys can keep me company. He's going to need to make some changes in his life. I hope he's willing to. My brothers and I need to make some changes too. It's good to get a wakeup call. Thanks again. I'll probably be back, in regular fashion, tomorrow.

Glad to hear he's doing well.   Best wishes continue to go out to you and yours.

5.3 more HOT miles for me this morning.   Man -- I'm not used to this humidity, AT ALL.   I thought I was going to melt before I finished.   When I lived in Utah, a much less humid environment, I wouldn't blink twice about a run at 75 degress.  THis morning felt like I was in a sauna!

Oh well.   Distances are improving.  Up to almost 60 percent of my swim and run goals.  Bike should be back in place by Saturday.

Go Geckos!

D001 - 2008-06-12 8:51 PM Off day for me. Everything is aching today.... Knees, shoulders, back, lungs, and so on... Figured my body was trying to say something...

hmmm, maybe your body was saying you look like a muppet
