Monday, I had an appt with a structural engineer to look at my house and an appt with a tree guy in Sewanee 90 min later. I rushed out of a faculty senate meeting and ran about a half mile to my car on pavement. I was 5 min late getting home for the meeting to receive a text telling me he would be 30 min late. He also made me miss my meeting in Sewanee. During the run on pavement, I felt I strained my knee but went to the gym later that night and rowed anyway. Next day Tues, I tried a running workout and couldn't manage it. Just did some high knees and a few 50s on turf. Knee felt bad the next day. So, haven't been doing anything but 'old man stuff' like mowing my lawn, working on my boat. It's weird. I can jump, bike, row, run stairs... just can't sprint.
Finished off the year at both colleges and now just enjoying the awesomeness of spring. Going to delve back into music and start gingerly back on the bike and rower, no running for a while. Still trying to lose weight. Tough to do without these big workouts. Hanging at 146-147. I had a Thurs party for my students and ate stuff I ever usually do, but not a lot - pizza and chips.
My brother gave me more bad news that he has more blockages in his celiac and mesentaric arteries, along with a possible beginnings of an aortic aneurysm. Makes me want to get that angiography even more. I did secure an appt with my PCP to get those tests for kidney function: eGFR, c-cystatin, and others.
It's so lush and cool in Sewanee. Only low 60s today.
