I managed to get in a run before leaving tonight for a week in Norway and Denmark. I hope I've packed enough warm clothes!

My weekend at Mom's. I came up yesterday and made corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's Day. Then watched an episode of my latest obsession -- "The Crown." Mom enjoyed that.

Went for a run this morning on the canal, and it felt great! I think all of my weight lifting and cardio classes are working. Plus, it was a beautiful morning, which always helps.

Mom is also doing better. She went to the neurologist last week for her 6-month checkup and she was doing so well they said she didn't have to come back now for 9 months. She's also much less depressed. She asked Don to renew her gym membership, and she goes several times a week to walk on the indoor track. She made friends with another "old lady" and they walk together. All good signs! Next week is her 82nd birthday, and we'll all be up to celebrate.

Body Pump lunch time shortened class

Green at Wheaton. I decided to do Green today because it wasn't that much longer than Brown, and it was a beautiful day. The first two controls went badly. The advanced maps didn't have trails on them since we've been to this park many times and there are a lot of trails, and for some reason, this really threw me off as I ran towards #1. And then I just got pulled to a nearby similar control for #2. After that, things went better. The woods were a little messier than they look on the map, mainly lots of low, straggly thorny vines and downed trees.

Early morning Body Pump class.

I worked from home today to get in some doctor appointments and was able to go to the gym for an early Body Pump class. Unfortunately, I was very early -- by an hour -- and found myself in a class called Hard Drive. I figured I would try it...glad I hadn't read the description before I started: Hard Drive is a heart-pounding, muscle-pumping, sweat-pouring, total body workout designed to produce a stronger, fitter you. You will get a full body conditioning with a mix of strength and cardio intervals.

It was a great workout, I am now exhausted.

One of the doctors I went to today was a dermatologist. I have had dermalogical lupus for quite awhile and should probably see a doctor once a year, but I don't. So, this was my first visit in quite a few years. She wasn't finding anything suspicious even though I have freckles and moles everywhere, but then she got to my back and was a little surprised. Evidently I had some suspicious looking spots, so she cut out two of them for biopsy. I'm sure it will be fine.

I was much too sweaty to take a shower right after class, so I cooled down on the treadmill. If I had taken an immediate shower, I would have still been sweating when I got out. Yuck!
