So, Dama's back, but for how long?
Happy for you that your running is going well.
Mileage Reporting 12th Week of 2013
- Thread starter BFwillie_g
- Start date
Oh, forgot to post my yesterday's miles/workout...zip, zero, nada, that's right didn't do anything yesterday and I don't feel bad about it-Ha! 
Now that you're back, I'll probably start getting injured again. But it's worth it to witness once more your idiosyncratic use of the quotation function.
Butt seriously, thanks for your healing advice and words of encouragement through all this. Hopefully I won't need any more!

No exercise the last couple days due to being sick. Going to the dr today as I seem to have developed an ear infection.
So how are feeling today? besides you ego?
oh, I'm fine, back to normal. Just pi55ed that I didn't get in the time on my feet that I wanted and won't have five free hours again until... Friday? Nope... Sunday I guess grrrrrrr
Btw, what did we ever do in the years prior to cell phones?
3.5 mi early, brrrrrrr, whipping gusting nasty winds, low 20s temps, swirling clouds of snow near the ground looking like cheap sci fi special effects, ice covered puddles, that, lo and behold, had liquid water beneath the ice for my socks and sandaled feet. Tomorrow's weather is predicted to be just 5-10 degrees colder during the day, and windier.
~35 min swim, took it easy, since I have a long lesson tonight and the butterfly is on the agenda.

Lots of people died back in the day when they ventured out and couldn't find their way back AND no cell to call mommy.
That sounds miserable, we are having the same kind of weather round here too.
I don't know how you do it. You are my hero! Well one of them.
Am strongly leaning toward a rest day. I'm thinking I may not have recovered from my busy day on Saturday, because the thought of running makes me want to cry... or it could be that 1/3 of my new chicks have died since I got them yesterday. Partly got them in memory of my daughter's birthday, as she loved them and would have been 24 this month on the 28th. Maybe next year I'll get an inanimate object. Yeah, I think I need a nap.
I think your body is telling you to take it easy and rest, nothing wrong with skipping a workout or two.
I did nothing today, again I feel just drained out of energy, is the world going to end because I skipped two days with no workouts?-I think not.
Your body will be very grateful to you for letting it rest.
Sorry about the chicks, hopefully some of them will make it in honor of your daughter.
I am very sorry about your daughter I can't imagine how it is but I am sure the good memmories carry you thru.
Now go and take that much needed nap.
Sorry. Don't want to mislead anyone. It's March. It was 10 years ago March 2nd that she died, so not something new. Just fresh to me every March in particular. Thanks.
I was summoned to the subway this morning by 2 inches of slush on the ground, howling wind and driving rain.
My run home was in sunshine on a beautiful Spring-like evening - such is March!

Temperature increased again today, a nice and sunny 17C (62F) at 6am. As it is still dark, I took my LED lamp with me, and it was worth it, just for a few sections. However, I took a route that I know pretty well, just in case, and I was surprised to almost instinctively knowing where to be careful (rough patches, etc) without really seeing. I would by far prefer trying new routes, and have to concentrate on the road, but I had to get out early today...So my run was 7.7km (4.8mi) fairly slow....I hope I did not jinx it the other day by saying I ran 9 month injury free, I feel some tension in my right ankle 
Such anniversaries have a way of exercising our bodies and souls. Rest seems what your body is asking your for.
Keep tending the remaining chicks. How many do you have? I've always wanted to raise chickens. Do you have a coop?
1hr swim lesson. Flip after flip. Finally started getting it a little better, then switched to butterfly. Slight improvements. Rhythm is getting better but still awkward when I go from the drills to the full arms and heaven forbid need a breath.
I did nap and feel MUCH better. thanks.
We've had chickens for the last 12 years and have a couple of coops. I have about 20 little guys left. Most of the time they move too much to count, but then one will just die. First time to try mail order chicks. Seems to be a lot rougher on them, although I had heard good reports. Chickens are much more fun than I would have thought, overall. If you ever do decide to give it a try, feel free to email me about it. I love talking about them.
