Sorry I’ve been neglecting to write…I’ve just haven’t found the time. Anywho…last weekend’s 1o miler went well, quite frankly I don’t remember it much…I just remember I ran it in the morning before Punxsk8erdude’s soccer game, it was hot and uber humid, and I had to walk about 1/2 mile of it. Ok maybe I do remember. I also remember I came home after Punxsk8erdude’s game and napped - yes, AGAIN!!! 
So here I am at the tail end of week 6 now. Believe it or not the weather has actually been pleasant. We had a “cool” front come in early in the week. It was in the 70’s, overcast, and breezy on Tuesday evening when I ran during Punxsk8erdude’s soccer practice. Wednesday’s 5 miler was also a very pleasant evening run…there were throngs of people out running and cycling that evening around the neighborhood. For some reason there was also a lot of gnats flying around everywhere…one went in my ear and I think I may have swallowed a few others. Today’s 3 miler was ok…ran about half of it on grass. There was a bit of traffic though…I ran around the perimeter of the Blossom Athletic Center and the crowds were arriving for this evening’s high school football game…did this while Punxsk8erdude was at soccer practice across the street.
All I have left to say is TGIF tomorrow!
I had to do this as a separate post. Just got off the phone with Toots, she’s definitely going to Toronto with Lumpy and me at the end of the month. We will be running and will have the laptop with us, with which to post. woo hoo! Thanks to the Surrogate Two Legger, we do not have to board G, and the kitties will have someone to pay attention to their sorry behinds. They’re just so damned needy.
Also, I wanted to respond to Toots’ comment about Nerstrand being hellish. It will be a little hellish, because it is definitely hilly. However, Lumpy and I discussed it, and we are planning on sticking with you so that we can enjoy your first trail race. We hope that’s okay with you. I will only go ahead if I’m feeling magical and like I can finish right at 2 hours. (I’m not counting on that.)
LASTLY, I would like to apologize for the random craziness of a response to Coworker #1’s post about her dad. This time of year sucks for me. My dad’s birthday was 31 Aug. and he died in October. It’s just not a good time of year for me, and I do all I can to enjoy the weather and live in the moment, but some days are just rotten and I can’t fight that much rotten. I can only imagine the hell Lumpy goes through having to deal with me. I can’t stand me right now. It’s just rough. Winter is always better. Really.
So, basically, there’s a whole lot of this going on:
We did a run today, but Kona has a limp, so we will not be running her again while she’s here. Good luck to her owners, they’re giving birth (perhaps as I type) today/tonight. We enjoy having two dogs.
