Today Marti got in her first 13 mile training event. I'm pretty sure it will be her last 13 miler before the race and I am positive a big part of the reason she did it today was because she had just spent 7.5 hours in the car with me.
A couple of other quick notes about the race.
If you are coming from Indiana you need to know that the I-65 bridge is the only interstate aross the Ohio River these days and the traffic has been brutal, especially if you are attempting to exit on I-64 or I-71. Marti spent over an hour last Sunday night trying to get across. So please allow plenty of time or stay on 65 and exit in downtown Louisville and then make your way from there. Also I thought the race started at 7:30 but I received an email today saying 8:00. You may want to double check their web site.
A quick health update. Marti and I just got back from Duke today. The checkup went fine however I am still not in the clinical trail. They actually had us stay an extra day just in case the approval came through, but it did not. It really seems like it is just a procedural issue they are trying to resolve but we have been down this road before. The next opportunity for this to be approved is next Monday. The good news is the doctor at Duke believes the treatments I am getting here in Danville are working well enough that not starting this for another month will not be a problem.
See you in 19 days.
Thanks for caring
Glad to know you are safely home. Really impressed that Marti went 13 miles!! Still amazed that you're not getting a final answer from Duke.
ReplyDeleteYou said you'll see us in 19 days. Your blog clock reads 16 days. Do I have 3 extra days to get ready?
Very important to know. :)
