Survived the 5 days alone with the kids, with no bloodshed or significant drama to mention. Mrs. Evolving returned last night, and sanity has been restored. The highlight of the weekend was my son, who is more inclined to play video games than do anything outdoors, asking if he could come along with me on my Sunday run. I needed to do 4 miles, so he ran the first approximately 1.2 miles, and I dropped him at a friend's house and knocked out the rest of the run. I think it's the first time anyone from my family has ever joined me on a run, so it was a pretty big deal. Hopefully it will become a habit, but I know not to push it. We'll see if he invites himself this weekend.
As for the blog title, a mild sore throat about 3 weeks ago has evolved into an ultrasound revealing a tumor on my thyroid, with a biopsy this morning and most likely results from pathology on Monday. I'm a bit numb right now thinking of the possibilities. 2011 has not gotten off to a very good start. Should be an anxiety-filled weekend. Whatever happens, we'll deal with it head-on. Running, and blogging, will be a big part of coping, so I figured I'd lay it out here from the start. I have no intention of missing the Marine Corps Marathon, so I'm taking a cue from the marines ..... Improvise, Adapt, Overcome.
