Heart Health

Close call for Dad Lusty again. He had some blockage and he had a heart cath this morning. He has the all clear now. No stint necessary, just cleaned it out. All good news. Needs to lose a few pounds though, maybe the WW will help since Mom is doing it. Guess they both need to walk more. I think the upside is that wine is good for the heart; they aren't into it but I certainly would be (oh, I already am into wine..hehe...). Either way, 3 cheers for technology and the scope tools! Sherri walked over the Sparrow from work, so she is doing great with her knee too. Tri girl is trying hard to stay off the injured list. Flag football is at lunch tomorrow, that is the most dangerous sport I play. Very fun, but one badly broken finger for some guy named Tom keeps me in check. His football days are over for this year anyay. I haven't lost a pound, but can feel my body getting stronger, so all is okay for now. Need to lose a few before my race June 1st though; the hills/mountains at the Pocono's will be no joke, I need every advantage I can get to get my arse up those hills on the bike and run! I"m finishing week 10 of training and moving to week 9 on Monday; just seems too soon for a half iron, but I already paid so can't back out now. If only the sun would warm us up the 60's! I would be on my bike more. My dogs love the training plan because they get to run with me both Saturday and Sunday. Keeps them a little tired too, gotta love sleeping dogs.

Great note about Dad. I talked to him last night & his chest hurt. Maybe from the surgery?? Nice weather yesterday so I got the leaves out of all my flower beds..great upper body workout! Took a short walk with Stacey & Logan....so my knee was a little sore last night but I'm not babying it! Glad it is Friday! Have a good weekend training! I'll also enjoy the wine thing:)
