"She loves me not."
It was like pulling pedals off a daisy today, the decision to run, or not to run. I knew I wouldn't be able to go until after lunch because I had my volunteer stuff this morning, and by the time I left the school at noon it was of course snowing again!! I went back and fourth about 20 times, but in the end the daisy said, no run! So I sat down and had a big lunch, with full intentions of going to the pool, and then getting my long run in tomorrow.
Then one last time I checked the weather report for tomorrow….and changed my mind! Daisies be damned! More snow tomorrow!
And it went reasonably well. Remarkably the snow stopped by the time I got out there, and although the shoulders were mostly snow covered, the pavement was at least fairly dry. That meant of course that I pissed off a few motorists, but not really that many in the big picture. Most people are glad to give you some space when they can. And of the 10% that choose to force you off the road, only half of them do it on purpose….the other half are simply stupid!
So I managed a decent 26 kms, with the only unsettling (literally) part, being my stomach. I paid heavily for that big lunch that I decided upon. My stomach is still a bit upset this evening.
The good news is that none of my multiple injuries was much of a problem. Now I just have to stay motivated to continue my home therapy. I know damn well that if I don't, I'm gonna end up back at the same place, at least with my achilles.
So that's it folks! Because of my efforts today I get to take it easy tomorrow.
Oh wait! I just about forgot. Very exciting news. I spoke to the principal today and she's gonna let us hatch chickens at school. I am very excited for this opportunity to interact with the kids. Subject to approval from Kylie's teacher we will do it in her class. Pretty cool eh?? We just need to wait for the weather to warm up a bit, so that our few remaining hens start producing a bit more regularly. And I hope that rooster's been doing his job with this ridiculous weather.
