Change of Plans
My plans for this weekend have changed, which essentially changes the rest of this week. M won't be going to the half-marathon and after some consideration, I decided that I do not want to race a 20K two weeks before Broad Street, a race that I really care about this year. This means doubling tomorrow, doing the full workout tomorrow night, running long on Saturday, and running on grass on Sunday. I may do a tune-up 5K/5 mile/10K next weekend.
The doctor took my mom off of one of the drugs she was using because of some of the side effects she was having. This makes her treatments slightly shorter. It should also make this weekend a much better weekend for her. We have less than one month left of chemo. She made a paper chain, like the Christmas chains, of how many treatments are left. We've been taking turns cutting links off and tonight it is my turn to cut off the link.
My body was extrememly tired today. Last night was not a great night of sleep and there really was no time for napping this afternoon. To keep today a relaxing and easy run, I did not even wear my watch. At times my legs felt good, but at other times they felt like lead blocks. During my striders they were just tired.
I rode the bike in the basement for half an hour and then sat in the cold water for ten minutes. This seemed to work over the weekend, so I hope to give my legs a lift. Tomorrow I need to call and schedule a massage.
I need to read all the other blogs now and then clean my room before my early bedtime.

Sleep deprivation seems to be a common topic on the blogs this week.
Sounds like your mom remains positive about her treatment and being finished with it! It's good to hear that her body has responded well to it. :)
