| Rode bike 5 miles to track, did a little fast running, rode home. Soft surface track, inside lanes are soft with ankle twisters on curves, so ran in what probably would be 3rd lane. I am definately not good at speed work & don't really enjoy it ... but a little is better than none. Ran 400 meter recoveries in about 2:00 each, then did a short cool down 4 x 400: 1:22, 1:25, 1:30, 1:28 Did not have a target pace & never looked at watch while running them.
Planned on doing more, but it was hot! It is what it is! The bike ride was nice! :)

| Ran 11 easy miles with the Harrisburg River Runners Club ... got introduced to 2 gals who will be running in the Poconos marathon ... and one needs a 3:40 to BQ ... which is the pace group I am leading. Anyway, that works out perfect ... as I can catch a ride to the race with her! |

Probably no run today ... but I do have a prayer request! My mom has been battling acute leukemia, since she was diagnosed last June. This last week has been her toughest yet!. She awoke last night with a fever of 103, and saw her doctor today before a scheduled treatment, and she has been admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics & some additional testing. It is Mothers Day weekend, so we are all praying her hospital stay will be brief, give her strength, and combat the evil disease attacking her! My sister is arriving this afternoon, and my brother & his family are arriving tomorrow ... praying for a weekend which brings smiles to her face!

| Interesting day of pacing, one day I will add some more detail ... but it was hot ... great group to about Mile 18, where the heat & hills quickly took its toll! I ran with a race sponsored watch, which died at Mile 17 ... so from there I was guessing. Ran the right pace, but looped back a couple times at 19 & 22 to give some words of encouragement to my disappearing group.Thought I was on pace to still come in under 3:45 ... but ended up being 3:45:51 ... not a big deal because I was not really pacing anyone the last 3 miles.
Got back to hotel only to read a text message from my brother that he was enroute to Harrisburg because my mom had taken a fall in the morning & was back in the hospital. Battling a terminal disease is tough, head hitting tile floor in bathroom did not help. The entire left side of her head is badly bruised (she is platelet dependant) and bruises incredibly easily ... not a good combination for falling head first on a tile floor! Good news is all heart & neural tests are clear, and internal bleeding appears under control. She is getting great care & in pretty good spirits all things considered. She is not in critical care ... but every day presents critical challenges. Running does not seem too important to me these days, although it does help to clear the mind when I get out there!
