Difficult day to run. I started out the door with the plan of doing some hill repeats over at Pah Tempe. I was one mile into my warm-up when my wife came and got me and said we needed to head to the hospital her father had just had a stroke. This is a pretty scary deal, just ask Dave Holt. Anyway, I was able to be with my father in-law most of the day and I helped give him a blessing. It was only a minor stroke, but he is still going to be in the hospital for a few days. To make things even more difficult, my mother in-laws father, just passed away on Saturday, so she is now dealing with both her husband and getting things ready for the funeral on Thursday. My wife, Sunny is doing a good job dealing with everything and said I could go out for my evening run tonight. It felt good to get out tonight, I ran up to the city building in Toquerville 4.5 miles and back home. Going out I was 34:02 and coming back I was 32:11. I hope to get in some good miles tomorrow and Wednesday and then taper a little for the Provo Half on Saturday.

Good job getting a run in with everything that was happening. Hope all is well.

Dustin, Sorry about the news. Sounds like your family will be under alot of stress this week. Is the funeral in salt lake? My prayers are with you and your family.

D, sorry to hear about your recent situations. I hope that your father-in-law gets feeling better soon. It is amazing what the affect of a positive mental attitude can be when coming back from any situation like that, even though at times it will be very difficult. See you up in Provo.
