Friday, went for a walk with Monica and then prepared lunch for Lorraine and myself so did not literally sit in the morning. I went with Alberto to San Jose in the afternoon to pick up his San Jose Half Marathon T-shirt and runner number and then went for another walk with Alberto and Ethan, I was exhausted after...have we learned the lesson?, nope...one day I will.
On Saturday we had Ethan's soccer game, he was so cute!, he score 4 goals and even if they say that at 4 year old games parents should not count goals or scores....I have to say that they won 8-1 and they have won all the games and.....he has scored on all of them!. He had a cold and was coughing, but he will not stay at home and waited 4 hours ready dress to go to the game, we were not going to stop him. Ana lives around the corner from where they were playing so we went for a coffee and we ended there for 3 hours.
While we were in Ana's house we rush home as Fiona was coming from the UK and had already landed, but we were taking Upe's daughters that were playing at Ana's house and by the time we left them in their house and made it to our house Fiona was already waiting outside. It was nice to see her and cannot wait to see her again as next time will be on my last chemo week in Nov!.
On Sunday we got up early and Fiona, Ethan and I went to see the San Jose Half Marathon so we could see both Alberto and Lorraine running it. It was cold but there are bands every mile and the one in mile 10 was quite nice so it was not too bad to wait there. Fiona and I were amazed first as how fast the people run, second how many over 60 year old were running it and third that some people were just chatting as they were running...and remember we were in mile 10!. We saw Alberto and he was very emotional to see us there, he come and gave us a kiss and carry on running, he finish at 1:48:02 and he said he could have done better but did not want to push himself as his hearth beat was high enough. I am so proud of him. We also saw Lorraine who was only 10 minutes behind Alberto and she was also looking good, she did a fantastic job doing just over two hours!. And the funny part is when we arrived we did not think about this and we left the car on the other side of where we were watching the race, the only way to get to the car was to cross through all the runners but you have to keep in mind that 14,000 people were in the race!. We waited for the right moment to run to the other side with the look of people thinking we were mad but we manage to get out.
We did brunch with Fiona on Sunday and then went to the movies after she left to meet people from work. We saw Dolphin tale and Ethan love the film!. After the movies we went to a runner shop so Alberto could buy a treat after the marathon, at the end Ethan and I bought something and Alberto did not!.
It was a great weekend of family and friends and by the end of it I have forgot all the symptoms of Taxol completely.
