Long but Good Day

Today was a very long day. Started with early morning exercises, got the kids out and off to school, and then started my work day. Now, my commute today was about 10 feet to our home office, so I cannot complain too much. No traffic today. Full day of work stuff... many emails, phone calls, and fire drills (typical day). Got what I wanted accomplished to do at work, so all in all -- good day. Then went to Novant Health Wellness center this afternoon to get my father setup with on a physical fitness program. He is a cancer survivor -- and is cancer free and recovering. However, we has lost a ton of weight and actually needs to gain weight -- but the good kind (muscle mass). This is the same program that we went through before all his treatments and surgeries to make sure he was strong enough to handle it. It is an awesome program, and now he is back to work on the weight gain. He has never been much of a gym guy, but he knows he needs to exercise to get strong again to do the things he wants in life. All good and I am amazed of his recover progress already. This is good. Ran home from that, did a run with Nate, did some exercises and then headed to King Tiger to a full night of classes. Like I stated above... long but good day. Ready to start another one.
