I am headed to Iowa tomorrow. My grandpa fell and broke his arm so he and my grandma need some help since he is the only one who still drives. I don't think it's too serious, ignoring the fact he broke his hip and the same arm 2 years ago. Obviously his bones are weak. The doctor does not think he will need surgery to repair the arm, so that is good. It's hard to see my grandparents (who raised me and really are my parents) becoming so frail.
I am not giving up on my training this week though. I got a new battery for my pedometer so I can keep track of my mileage while I am up there.

So sorry to hear about your Grandpa...keep up your good work!
Oh dear! At least you can get away and be there for them... Take care!
So sorry to hear about your grandfather - hope the surgery goes smoothly.
So glad you have a plan in place for continuing your workouts - it has to get easier the longer you do it, right?
I hope your grandpa is on the mend soon. It's so hard to see our loved ones become sick and unable to care for themselves. I'm sure your visit will lift their spirits.
