This time of the year, the normal pattern of school, track practice, and big weekend track meets, is the normal way I celebrate birthday week. This year was no exception, the only difference was my new birthday of December 13th - open heart surgery! So, the 5 month anniversary was also this week!
At the 5 month date, my recovery is headed in the right direction. The healing process & strength are coming back. I took a personal day Friday & spent the morning with the chainsaw cutting up tree limbs & carrying the limbs to my wood stack. This activity went well, the only thing I noticed was some lack of strength & cardio conditioning - that should get better.
After my tree fun, I prepared for the Lancaster-Lebanon Track meet at our track. That usually means making sure the pole vault area is reading to go. More physical activity! Then preparing for the competition & the "fun stress" of competition! The girls pole vault was Fridat night and the young ladies were awesome - Kaya 2nd at 10'6, Dani 5th at 10', and Heather with a double PR at 9'! The three young ladies had an outstanding day & the day ended on a great note!
Today, the boys go! A 7 AM breakfast with the coaches, 10 AM boys pole vault, & a chance for the boys & girls team to win their fourth title in a row!
So, after 5 months, golfing, chain sawing, mowing grass, coaching, & back to school!
