Gail, the Big Ol' Run looks like it was amazing! Despite the ATL weather.
I would LOVE for you to come visit! Have you ever been to this area of the country? Of course, it'd be better in the sprint.
Vantreesta, sounds like maybe you need some change. I have to say, all I'm doing lately are the 45 minute workouts at Burn and I'm finally seeing changes in my body. Before I was running, taking spin class, swimming, AND doing Jari workouts and felt like only the Jari workouts really worked me out. If you need to switch to only worrying about the house, I say give it a shot.
DH is down to his last week of treatment. He has chemo today (has been gone all morning) and tomorrow and of course still doing radiation. Last day is next Tuesday. And thank goodness, because it's gotten really rough. The skin on the outside of his neck is all burned (not as bad as mine, but still peeling) and even worse on the inside. Yesterday I picked up a prescription for him of Tylenol with Codeine. If he takes that, he can at least handle a smoothie.
I can tell it's affecting DS. We had his party Sunday and DH came late so he wouldn't have to be outside as long. DS had fun but I feel like his overall affect is...not gloomy but maybe sullen? He looked forward to his party for weeks and seemed to have fun there but isn't talking about it now.
Oh, and DH took the kids to school Friday for Donuts With Dad. They have donuts in the gym before school. It's a nice little time to hang out. When he started to leave, DS walked away but then burst into tears and ran back, saying he didn't want him to go. I'm sure it's partially a case of him having all these feelings and being too young to do anything with them.
I ended up signing up for Burn and have decided to go for 30 days of classes. Meaning, go 6x a week for a solid month and not pressure myself to do anything else. Those 45 minutes hit a lot! My arms look better already. I may try to do some short runs now and then but in all honesty can't fit in much more.
I have a work meeting the week of 9/2, from Tuesday afternoon until lunchtime Friday. It's in the metro Phoenix area but easily a 45 minute or more drive in rush hour. I can stay at the hotel but initially didn't think DH would be able to get the kids to school. Now I'm thinking that's doable and it might be good to get away. Of course then I can't go to Burn since there isn't one nearby! I'm sure I can figure something out.
