Over the past several days, it has been all I could do to drag myself out of bed in the morning, even with the 5am Wing wake-up calls. The best of intentions meets exhaustion, and I chose sleep and rest.
Saturday did involve an hour (or so) at the gym, where I did a total of [...]

Why I didn’t run this morning:
Tink had her first run-in with a skunk last night. We’re not sure what happened exactly, but Dora and Tink were both outside barking. It was after 9, and we thought they were barking at Bill. Scott went to call them in. Dora came when he whistled, but Tink kept [...]
Not too bad, so far

So far so good, with the leg. I know running such a short distance isn’t too big of a deal, really, but I keep remembering the pain of the half. I want to keep it slow still, but if I do that, I won’t be ready for the next one in just a few weeks. [...]

I ran this morning, in the rain. 1.17 miles. It’s not a lot, but it’s better than 0. I will do this the rest of the week, then schedule two longer runs on the weekend.

I haven’t been running. Not much, not consistently. I used M’s visit as an excuse, although I did manage to get in a few, short runs since the half marathon. My last run was August 7th.
There was also State Fair. Scott worked as a police officer there, so our normal schedule was altered. Excuse, or [...]
Don’t worry!

I’m alive! I apologize for just falling out of touch for a while here.
Briefly, an explanation. My 14-year-old niece (and goddaughter) flew in on July 26, and has been staying with us while attending an art camp at MIAD. Since I so rarely see her, most of my time has either been spent with her [...]
