Merry Christmas 2023

I was kicked by my Mom on Christmas day.  Yes a 94 year old woman in a wheel chair wanted to physically strike me because I wouldn't take her home.  But home is gone, sadly.  She isn't able to give herself the medicine she needs, nor is she able to make meals for herself, let alone a wheel chair being unable to make it through the hallways in the old house. The last 2 years have been a really sharp decline and it is so heart breaking to look in her eyes and see nothing.  She is a shell of her former self and it hurts being able to see her and know that there is just no way back to the way she used to be.  It also hurts when she kicks me.

New 5k PR

The new 5k PR is 25:15 set in 2022.  No new records so far in 2023.  I won't say that I have plateaued, but I definitely haven't got to train like I want to.  I have been doing more strength stuff though and even though I'm not getting the mile I feel like a stronger runner.  I just don't have the endurance... so I probably need to run more miles.  Well I have a couple of races left this year maybe, so I might be able to pull off that sub 25.
