Life's a Rollercoaster Ride

I love going to runclub. MicroTA doesn't complain so much about going anymore (especially since he started thrashing me :-) and we have made some good friends and we all just enjoy being together and picking on Tim!! As sfGnome described, tonight was a rollercoaster session. I joined group 2 as usual. Somehow I feel comfortable there but I also wonder if I'm being slack not going at the back of group 1. I uploaded my HR monitor when I got home and I was happy to see my times were consistent. Tim, as encouraging as ever, predicts a PB at striders on Saturday.

On a different tack, this morning my friend's hubby rang to tell me that Sol passed away last night after a tough battle with cancer. She had been in severe pain for weeks and had lost the use of her legs. When I'd visit, I'd massage her feet and legs and 3 weeks ago she told me how much she envied me that I could exercise. So the best I could do for her was to lift her into a wheelchair and take her for a walk and a coffee. You should have seen her beam.

Later this morning I visited my father-in-law in the dialysis unit and massaged his feet as we talked about the op he was having this arvo to remove a brain clot.

Later still I walked throught the local shopping centre with my gorgeous 18 year old daughter who grabbed my hand to hold and didn't care if anyone saw it.

So today I didn't just run a rollercoaster, I lived one and pray there will be many more.

God bless you Sol, you are home pain free.
