Today I need a run. Later this morning I will head out for a run. Running helps me cope. I make it clear I am not running from stress or problems, I run to cope with them.
Here are the two main issues:
My friend Mark had two seizures on Sunday. His family relationship is a bit strained, so another friend of his I were the ones who took him to the hospital, and argued with the doctors when they said they could not figure out why he was having seizures. He needs a specialist to learn more. I won't even get into how angry I am at his parents.
My dad is in the hospital. Seems he is having high blood pressure, and the red flags were for some more serious issues. He is 90, so health concerns will always be there. Still you hate the thought of a loved one being in the hospital for any reason.
So how does running help? It helps me clear my mind, then focus. I am focusing on the breathing, the running, then I can meditate and things appear clearer to me. We have had rain/snow mix so I am thinking of heading to the gym for a run. I'll let you know how it goes.

Charlie,
Oh, crap! Two many hospitalizations to deal with!
I'm glad y'all were there for Mark. He's a lucky lucky man to have you.
Good luck with your dad. You're right, at 90 health problems start to come more often.
Have a good sweaty run. I know it will help.

Sorry to hear this Charlie. Hang in there, your dad and Mark are fortunate to have you. I'm sure your run will help you cope. Keep your outlets healthy.
