2 miles today for the first time (3.182km) which was pleasing. I reckon I could run a full 5k now, but I’m building up to it carefully, as I want to avoid injury.

Today was hospice intake for Dad. And a GI oncology visit (where they said he is not a candidate for surgery, and they don’t biopsy appendixes anyway). I am a mixture of many emotions. He is staying with us from now on, whatever that looks like.

I woke up in the middle of the night after having not done my workout for the third day in a row so I did it because shame. I’m doing body weight workouts while the food processor blade slice in my thumb heals. I’m pretty sure I’m actually dead now so going back to sleep shouldn’t be a problem.
