Back Home

We flew back from Chicago on a super early flight this morning. We managed to make it onboard each leg — always a good thing when you’re flying standby. But we did have one incident: On the flight from SLC to Boise, the plane had to turn back to SLC due to an ill passenger. It happened shortly after take-off, so we thought we wouldn’t lose too much time. But it took a while to refuel the plane and get everything signed off to depart again. So by the time we got to Boise, we arrived at the same time as the later flight we would have been on if we didn’t make the first. But even with the delay, we were back at our house around noon, leaving the rest of the day to catch up on things. I managed to go for a 2-hour tempo ride and my legs felt surprisingly good. Maybe it’s the compression stockings LD has convinced me to use when traveling?!?
