Ruff: I would say that your Tuesday was a stressful one ! Hope your friend is doing well now and is finding the help she needs.
I saw you quoted John Bingham and it made me smile. My husband used to run. He started after having heart bypass surgery more than 15 years ago. At his first check-up after that surgery he asked his cardiologist if he could start running and he doctor said , "yes ! but please don't aim to win any races ! " That was the beginning of my husband's life as a runner. He DID enter some races and I went along. The energy I felt as a spectator was wonderful and it was so fun to watch! He had to stop a few years ago because his leg muscles started to give him pains. He felt it was the statins meds he was on. He stopped the meds and things got better but he never started running again. Now he has claudication in his legs and had a stent or two placed to keep his leg arteries open. Anyways, I used to read Dave's Runner's World magazines and always went to John Bingham's writings first. I even cut out some of the articles and saved them ! I am not a runner but I walk almost every day. That is MY time! I say my prayers, listen to a podcast (Bible in a Year) and then maybe something else or just quiet. I like the quiet too !
Thank you for all your thoughts and advice ! The time between 3pm and 5pm are my tough times too. I read, draw or meditate during those times (or type something here ) Don't know how Felix is today. I will ask my daughter a little later and put it on my journal page. She is still at work right now and don't want to bother my son-in-law who may be working too (works from home ).
