Rhonda's morning class, which has now migrated to the strangely more convenient hour of 5:30 am.

Running (woods run) 24:26 1.71 mi (14:16 / mi) +98m 12:07 / mi
ahr:146 max:166 shoes: 2010 NB MT840
The longer of this summer's two sprint courses. I thought I might do both of them, but this was hard enough.

ahr:132 max:158 shoes: 2010 NB MT840
With Rhonda at McLean. A very gentle pace - Rhonda dealing with the cumulative fatigue of her last week in Asheville, me with the dregs of my cold. Just what we needed, I think.

Rhonda called this morning at 6:15 to relate that my mom's breathing had become more labored, and then at 7:00 to say that she had passed away. A tough road, but she was reasonably comfortable, and she couldn't have had a better person holding her hand at the end than Rhonda.
Here is the last picture I took of her, on August 30, when we were expecting that she might have another bounce in her and be returning home. She had some kind of episode a few days later, perhaps a minor stroke, and was in decline for the last 9 or 10 days.

Took the dogs out for their morning dog walk, and I guess I am getting better because it wasn't a struggle for me. Thursday I had to cut it short, and yesterday I could do it, but not without a bit of difficulty.
Anyway, the dogs had a stimulating time, because they came upon a bear and gave it a good chase. Eventually they came harrumphing back, displaying their indignation at a bear intruding on their territory. Just lucky they didn't catch it.

Gentle low-key tour of W Simsbury. Objective was not to get breathing too hard, and that worked fine. Throat a little scratchy at the end, but otherwise very satisfactory. A beautiful day. Included an unscheduled 3 minute break to answer a call from my mom's friend Paula.

Starting to get better, but not enough to risk any exercise.

Went with Zack to Holyoke for the 5K. Zack to run, I to be a proud papa and take pictures. Very fine. A little surprised to see him emerge in 4th, running strong and well under 19. Pretty great race for him, and fun to be watching.
On the way home we had an AOWN encounter. As we started up the back side of Ratlum Mt we were waylaid by an attack raccoon who tried to steal our right front hubcap. We took some appropriate evasive action, but we may not go back that way for a few days.

Thought I might be on the mend, but spiraled down. Very sore throat, achy joints, the fear of it descending into my chest. Went to the doc and got dosed with antibiotics.
