Hi all. I am going to have to be late with posting my miles and time. I didn't get much done the rest of this month after my 10k April 11.

Yesterday my world was turned upside down when I got a call from my sister at 2:52 AM hysterical because my brother in law had just died. He was only 38, his birthday was yesterday and my sister is due with their second baby on May 28. My sister and I are super close as she is my best friend. My brother in law was like a brother to not only me but to my husband as well. My 12 year old neice is heartbroken that her "best friend" her daddy is gone and won't be coming back and won't get to see their baby. Right now I am just trying to be as strong as I can for my sister and my niece but its tough. My brother in law was everyone's friend he may not have realized it but so many of his friends have said that he was their best friend. So I may not be around much (not that I post that much anyway) I just wanted to let everyone know what is going on with me and that I promise to get on some time soon to post my milage from April 8 through the end of the month.

Wow Tricia, I feel for you. I am so sorry about your brother in law's passing. It is a great thing you are there to help out. Take care of yourself.

Hi everyone.

I have 3 weeks to report on. I've been busy, busy, busy and just haven't been getting over to this board lately. I just need to get through the next few weeks and then I am leaving my part-time job and will only have my business to worry about. I think that will help a LOT.

Because of everything going on I have been pretty spotty with my training. However, I have been getting something in each week, and I feel pretty good about that. I do love the nice weather we've been having (although last weekend was brutally hot here). I am doing the Broad Street Run on Sunday morning. It's a 10-miler, and while I know that I am undertrained for it, I am actually pretty excited for it. I am so glad to be able to go into an event like that feeling pretty confident, even though I could have put a lot more effort into preparing for it.

Anyway, here are my final totals for April:
Miles - 21.25
Minutes - 273

Talk to you on the May thread!

Thanks everyone. It is even harder today because my grandmother (who hasn't been doing good this whole year after breaking her hip on New Years Day) passed away this morning. It just doesn't seem real. I am trying to stay strong the hardest part is going to be getting through the funeral on Monday for my brother in law.

Aww...Tricia! I am so sorry to hear you have all this going on. Many prayers and hugs heading your way.

Tricia,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost one of my brothers about 10 years ago, and I know how devastating it is. And to lose your grandmother on top of that is so very hard.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay close to your family and take care of yourself.

Tricia, so sorry to hear of your losses. Prayers to you and your family.

April hours/miles-

38 miles- 47hrs

not a lot of hours/miles but I'm doing better

 

[ironz]

Liz...way better than when you were just out of surgery!

Ronda...the miles for a race get doubled, but not the time, so I have you down for 39.3 miles and 495 minutes.

Anyone else who hasn't posted for April, post here or over on the May thread! I'll find it.

Will update the spreadsheet later today or tomorrow...
