A Long Month

It's been almost exactly a month since I posted. And what a long month it has been. Let me try to recap it by remembering all the runs I've done.

Jan 15: Flew home - ran that morning. See my last post.
Jan 16: Went to the hospital, saw dad, went to Jen & Kev's for the night and ran, albiet very reluctantly, at 9 pm around their neighborhood.
Jan 17: Ran at my parents house - Elm to Harrison to Oak to Silver to Elm
Jan 18: Same
Jan 19: Same
Jan 20: Same - think this is the day I started running Lima instead of Silver
Jan 21: Same
Jan 22: Dad had open heart surgery. CABG x 5, MVR. Ran that night at the hotel at the hospital. Ran in the hallway up and down 6 laps (12 lengths) ~ 10 minutes
Jan 23: Hotel run - same
Jan 24: Hotel run - same
Jan 25: Hotel run - same
Jan 26: Ran at my parents house - Lima route
Jan 27: Same
Jan 28: Same
Jan 29: Same
Jan 30: Same
Jan 31: Same
Feb 1-11: Same
(Feb 3: Dad came home from the hospital)
Feb 12: Ran on the Ferry boat coming back from LI for 10 minutes
Feb 13: Ran at my parents house - Lima route

And shortly, I'll head out to run the Lima route again. It's been a long month, as I said, and some interesting things have happened.

One - I've been running for 13 1/2 months
Two - My friend Kristen started doing the same thing
Three - I'm not going back to Montana. Well, I am, but just for long enough to get my stuff.
Four - I'm going to start as an attending at Stony Brook.
Five - We redid my parents living room and cleaned the downstairs. So I actually can breathe here again.
Six - Going to walk with dad.
