My youngest kiddo is having a bone marrow transplant tomorrow, in the hopes that it will be the cure for her leukemia (AML).

It's our best chance. There aren't really other options after this.

If you're the praying type, say a little prayer for her. That the transplant would take and she would be cancer-free at the end of this.

It's going to be a rough month. BMT is tough. But she's tougher!

On days when I'm not at the hospital, I'm going to be running/working out to try and keep my body busy and calm down the anxiety.

If you have a favourite body weight workout, send it my way! I love variety.

I suppose this is the tumblr equivalent of 'woman dyes her hair cherry red and dons sunglasses, in the hopes that no one will recognize her as she reinvents herself'.

Embarrassing? Absolutely.

But nonetheless, here we are.

I will be backfilling the blog with all the things I want to save from my previous account before I delete that one. Maybe this time I will use a functional tagging system. 🤞

A) I only played through it once, and wasn't super thorough. There were areas in the depths map that I straight up never explored, because it was too spooky for me

B) I was too caught up in my adoration for botw's story that I don't think i gave totk a fair chance

C) I am bad at video games. Full stop. So a whole set of new mechanics and building things to fight baddies..... the learning curve was steep, and I grew frustrated early on

5km run, 1km walk

The first 3km I pushed myself hard, and got some of my best 1km times ever! Then I backed off for the next 2km (6:38 and 6:14, which are still great times for me), then walked the final km home.

I am feeling very proud of myself with this run. Probably helps that I am on my home turf on a nice flat run along the river, just for today.

4k run with a 2min walk break in the middle. Told myself I would run for 30min in the sun and however far I got, I would be happy with and not disappointed that I'm not as fast as I used to be.

So here we are. 4.3km. I'm happy with that.

No cancer

20min dumbbell arm workout (Caroline Girvan. I am dying)

Run/walk. 3k run but 10min of that was walking and having a phone conversation, so really it was a 14min run and 10min walk,and then another 1km walk to get home, not on the watch.

Meh.

I did the thing.

Not that you can see any of it BUT

Fastest 1km 5:27!!!!

4km run, then 2km walk/run (walk 0.5km, run 1km, walk 0.5km)
