Son Going to PLU

Couldn’t sleep last night, thinking about my son going to PLU and worried about how we are going to pay for it.

Anyway, need to see how financial aid falls out.

Long Trek Of A Walk

Not really sure but I thought I started my evening walk at 800 steps 0 floors and At 5:12:51PM got home at about 10500 steps right before 7PM 6:59:15PM with 10 floors.

Did it in one long shot, did stop at UPS store to return something and chatted with some guy on a unicycle but didn’t sit.

Walked around to Kiwanis Park, it is nice

Don’t want to do too many of these long ones with hills, my knees took a beating.

Waking Up A Lot

Went to bed early last night, but I kept waking up.

To use bathroom, adjust my mask, etc.

I want a deep straight sleep.

Tulip Festival 2024

We made it out again in 2024 but it was not as fun. It was raining and my oldest son had to work.

Rainy Tulips 2024

We followed the same tips from last year (although we got gas same day). We left at 8:30AM, ETA was 10AM but we got Mcdonald’s breakfast.

We did go to Strita (so glad we happen to have cash) and Seattle Premium outlet.

Got my steps done before 8:30

On a side note, Linuxfest Northwest was this weekend.

Track Season Rapidly Coming to an End

And with it the last child doing school athletics.

There is All City and League Meet, two races my son is guaranteed to participate in, and more than likely districts.

After that, is State and not likely.

Just need to wait for grandkids.

Splint Works

Three nights of wearing the splint, this morning it felt really good, no pain.

I walked this afternoon, it was amazing. Recall yesterday I finished my steps early so I got my steps done early.

Walked late today, had more than 24 hours of rest from walking and wearing the splint last night helped.

What a wonderful feeling.

Lesson for Son

Today we found my son is running the 3200 this weekend but he is in the fast heat. There is a second slower heat but his ranking puts him in the faster heat. Unfortunately he is ranked last in his heat.

So the lesson is, do you want to be the fastest in a slower heat, or the slowest in the faster heat.

Part of growing up, part of being challenged.

Got my steps done early today, sleeping early.

Brace for foot

My foot has been aching a lot, pretty sure it is plantar fascitis. So I am trying a new splint to keep my foot from loosening up too much at night.

It worked, woke up and my foot was not bad as before.

Going to try again tonight.

My son did incredible in the 800M dash, he was ahead by 4 people but at 200M left he hit the turbos and placed 3rd, amazing run.

Good Pace Today

Not crazy, got work done, had good sleep (although I got up later than I wanted to), did my work.

Also got steps done early, as of my post, I have 9889 steps, it is very unlikely I will not make my steps.

Nice day too, sunny, not hot. Was a good day for a walk.

Got a new brace for nighttime for my foot, hoping it will help with my plantar.

Get Most of Steps Early

Although I rested a lot, but have not healed right.

My left heel hurts, seems like rest and massages help.

We’ll see how it goes, maybe just rest.
