Another day of sleeping in!  Actually, I really need 8-hours of sleep to go at full strength.  The good thing is that I’m almost over my sleep deprivation from the Hood to Coast Relay.  Anyway, while my father paced me on his bike, I ran 4.2 miles at an easy pace across town to visit my dear Aunt Iris who is in a physical rehabilitation recovering from a stroke.  It was great to see her in good spirits and she is absolutely a fighter and making tremendous progress over the past few days.  My prayers are with her and it was neat to hear the physical therapist tell us that she has had such a positive attitude that it’s picking up the spirits of the other patients.  I have always and will always look up to my Aunt Iris.  Running back around Pilot Butte, I stopped off to visit with my Uncle George before heading back to my Great Uncle George’s for the day. 

In regards to my daily non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups and 20 metronomes.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 30 second plank and side planks

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  a serving of peaches and a separate serving of green beans

Thanks FRB friends for your concern and support! My Aunt Iris is getting better, but it's a little like running in than she is having good days and bad days; however, the good seems to be out numbering the bad so progress is being made. Thanks again and happy running!
