WOW!!!! Gonna be 70's in Arizona today. The sun is fabulous. Haven't seen it in ages!!

Here and doing well, but with some life interference. Yesterday Dad called before I went to the airport to tell me his pacemaker/defib alarm was going off and he had a doc appt. to check it and he'd see me at the airport. When we landed I had a text from my mother-in-law telling me Dad was having surgery and she was picking me up. Ack!!! Turns out Dad has a lead that is fractured that needs repair -- including removing some embedded wires from his heart. They are giving him a whole new unit. Seemingly minor but always risks, as he also has an artificial mitral valve as well. Well $#*$!!! But yay, I'm here!!! He wasn't able to have surgery on Friday due to his INR levels being too high (coumadin), so he's scheduled for Monday, but he has to be monitored all weekend because they have disconnected his pacemaker/defib. He's well, up and about, in good spirits, etc.

So we came to the hospital last night, then spent the night with Mom at her house about an hour away. Back at the hospital now, doing expo w/bro-in-law in a couple of hours. I was to fly home Sunday post-race but am now staying until Tuesday afternoon so I'll be here to support Mom for surgery. It all works out and everything does seem to happen for a reason, huh? Props to hubby who is home as a single dad and has change his biz trip scheduled for next week.

I have a few race distractions, obviously, maybe it's all for the best! Will run the race as planned (Dad would not think of me not running) -- Dad's just bummed he won't be there to cheer us on, sweet guy. My best friend is here too, and she's like family to me, plus my mom-in-law and bro-in-law (and family) are all close, so we have lots of places to stay, lots of cars, and lots of support. It's all good!

Good luck to Glen and have a great weekend, peeps!!

sdalessio - 2011-01-15 7:03 PM 2 workouts in the books since flu/marathon.  Yeah back on track and hopefully gearing up for my March race soon.

Good luck Glen and Kyla!  Kick butt, run fast and have fun!

Working on my race reports and had to laugh at some of the pics from our trip.  Since my daughter was sick on Tues. and missed our lunch at Cinderella's Castle w/ the princesses, the princesses were subjected to pictures w/ my son.  He had been to the Pirate's League for a full pirate makeover.  He looked possessed.
