All this goodness

Cheers!

What a wonderful weekend. We flew out to Minneapolis, got to stay in a suite (thank you, Susan!), had a great time with Eliza, and saw a fantastic concert down in Northfield. It was raining Friday morning, so Carol, swearing to me that she had read about this in Runner's World (so that must mean that other people do it, right?), ran up and down the hall of the hotel for half an hour to get a workout.  She did admit that she had to switch floors to keep people from looking at her strangely.

For those of you who know her running ways, you will have noticed that she only ran for half an hour. That wasn't just because she ran out of hallway. She was feeling pretty poorly when we were out there, and also upon our return. A visit to the doctor on Tuesday led to a short (45 minutes) procedure on Wednesday to drain fluid that had built up in her abdomen. That gave her some relief, but she will have to go in again if fluid returns and it becomes uncomfortable.
