Good Evening, FS Warriors! Well, this is one of those journal articles that reveal my vulnerable side. I did not complete my training run today. Boo hiss! I stayed up late last night, on the phone with a tech support person in the Carribean trying to get an application (Audible - like in books) working so I could run listening to a book this morning. Well, we did get the application working, but it was almost midnight when I got off the phone. I slept in the recliner in the family room and didn't wake up till 5 this morning. This morning's run was supposed to be 6 miles: run 1 easy mile for warmup, then run 4 increasingly faster miles, and then cool down for a mile with no rests. Well, needless to say, I did not make this morning's run, and decided to do it this evening. I got up with a bit of a scratchy throat, and the whole family has been sick with one thing or another. DW keeps bringing home every affliction the grankids get. So, I thought, maybe it was a blessing in disguise that I didn't get up early enough to run. So, after dinner, I dressed out and headed down to the treadmill. I only made it about 3 miles before I felt nauseated, took a few sips of water, made it another mile, and thought, I had better stop or I won't have anything left to fight off whatever is trying to get hold of me. So, I'm going to skip tomorrow morning's easy run, and hope I feel good enough for my 10 mile easy run on Saturday. I definitely do not want to take my defense mechanisms down to the point where I will be hit hard with something. So, I weenied out.
There's a dusting of snow on the cars outside. It's in the 20's, and they say it's only going to get worse, at least up to Thanksgiving. Came in like a lion, and earlier than I can remember. I am not a big fan of the cold, and never have been. I don't mind being out on a cold day chopping wood or something when the sun is shining and you have that radiant heat, but this cloudy damp cold is for the birds. But I don't think they like it either. Even the lab is spending more time inside where it's more comfy. Well, I'm glad tomorrow is Friday. I've got to quit saying that, the time goes by too fast as it is. Anyway, I hope I'll be talking with you all tomorrow, so have a great evening, and a better day tomorrow! Toodles!
