Wednesday August 11, 2010. A lot has been going on in my life the past several days, and a lot more is yet upcoming. Since Saturday I've had some great runs, bikes, and some easy dialysis. A couple of long rides 15 and 20 miles, with two fives and a six miler runs. My body can still handle it so I keep doing it, and its fun. Had some sad days with the passing of my mother's dog. He was diagnosed with bone cancer on Friday and went downhill very quickly. We are all sad and surprised at the loss. It shows the fragile nature of this life we all experience and the must to embrace it. On that note tomorrow is my fifth wedding anniversary and a weekend away to the beach for time alone and fun.
