Monday Musings

Hectic few days here at the Stop Running Dad household, aside from being in running jail and begging the injury warden for a fast release, there have been a few items of note to share.

Today (12 August) marks the 5th year anniversary of my father's passing.
     (Last name removed), ALBERT J 
    SGT   US ARMY
    WORLD WAR II
    DATE OF BIRTH: 03/26/1928
    DATE OF DEATH: 08/12/2008
    BURIED AT: SECTION 21B  SITE 110
    MASSACHUSETTS NATIONAL CEMETERY
    OFF CONNERY AVENUE BOURNE, MA 02532
    (508) 563-7113

Without going into details about feelings and such, and I know he reads my blog from the afterlife, I just want to say - I miss you dad. You still had so much to share with me and I wish you got to know my daughter.

Also, on the brighter side of things, over the last few weeks, the household has been in a bit of apprehension over my daughter's health, and having to see some doctors no parent wants to their kid to have to see.  Thankfully, it was a scare that was based on a precaution and nothing was actually wrong.  So today was the closing of that chapter.

I will knock you out!

Yay I hit him!

We're also in the fun process of looking to move in the next 30-45 days. We plan on staying pretty close to where we are, just want to move out of the mid/high rise type building for a few reasons.

Trying to stay positive while injured, I thought of two things that are good about it: My Clif Shots will last longer now as I have no reason to use them, as will my running sneakers.

Injury Status: No change, maybe a little flakier today.  I really haven't been off my feet for most of the last few days, so I'm sure that isn't helping.  I'm hoping I woke up one of these mornings and I can at least get a 30 minute jog again.  I'm pretty sure I will get this fat by week's end:

I'm backed up on my blog reading, but I will get to them! Or at least your most recent post, promise!

Have a good one!
