When life gets crazy......

An interesting news article coming out this evening says that the way to combat Alzheimer's disease from happening is to EXERCISE. That is a comfort and reinforcement for my running. I KNOW there are benefits to doing this program of running, but it is good to be reminded of just WHAT the benefits are.

I was away for several days and in the midst of it found out that my brother is struggling with congestive heart problems and blockages. Due to some kidney and diabetes problems, this has meant that they are not able to do much to correct the problem other than recommend a strict diet, perscribe some medications, and then recommend that he do some EXERCISE. The ordeal has been draining on all of us in the family. I have spent considerable time researching and phoning friends who are specialist in this area, for advice.

I DID get a little running in over the last six days, with runs of 3.08, 1.00, and 5.74 miles. This gives me a total of 212.65 miles for the year.

The 1,000 mile pace bunny is at 213.72 miles.

The 500 mile pace bunny is at 106.86 miles.
