Friday workouts/training

My surgeon is out, probably on permanent medical leave. My heart is broken for him. I wrote this on his "Caring Bridge" site. It is the only post for pages and pages that has a gold heart (a "like"). And the like is from Dr. Friedman. I have cried more this evening than I have in a year.
Two years ago this morning, I had the privilege and blessing of having you perform my RNY surgery. What a gift! I have spent several days trying to think of a way to express how much you mean to me - thank you does not seem like enough.
So this morning - 2yrs, 185lbs, over 80 inches, 3 triathlons, multiple 5 and 10ks and the Pensacola double bridge run later - instead of training for my upcoming half marathon, I trained for you. I ran faster, further - I did more weights for more reps - I took less breaks and I fought through the hardest parts.
I am praying expecting strength, determination and great success for you in your own battle now. I am forever grateful and indebted.
