I am glad that it is Friday.  The weather has been nice.  Typical spring weather with small storms coming thru then nice weather until the next one.  Things are greening up and the apricots are out in blossom.  Can't ask for much more

Not much going on but I'll post to keep this going.  I got in 2.5 miles last week.  A mile and a half of it was outside.  The weather is starting to get nice so I have to get busy with the things I am committed to.  Just Run

I haven't posted for awhile because I really don't have anything positive to say.  I know you are all interested in how I feel but it is hard to post that when I feel like it is whining.  For the last 20 years I have worked hard to have a good attitude.  I am more aware than ever how much running and exercise played in that good attitude.  Exercise relieves stress and lets you forget about everything.  I watched the LA Marathon Sunday and for my mind to get all excited seeing the regular folks at the back of the pack out there doing what I love almost made me cry.  I hope they realize how precious it  is to be on your feet, out there doing what you love.  I am trying believe I will be back but at the moment it seems so far away!  Just Run

A little better today

I was able to get thru yesterday without Carloyn killing me.   I get so pissed when I hurt and she gets tired of me being so hatefull and she says: WHINNY.  The PA said that since I am off the Prednisone that I can start taking the Ibuprofen 800 again as needed.  I like it better when I can self medicate according to how I feel instead of just taking something everyday.  So I am a little better today.  At least I can make a fist without shaking all over from the pain.  The cold is gradually going away.  I will try and get a walk in this afternoon.

What a gorgeous weekend we had.  We were in the low to mid 60's.  I have been looking forward to this warm weather to get outside for some exercise.  We were both not feeling all that great with just trying to get over this cold/flu.  I was looking forward to getting off the Prednisone so I could hike/run the hills again.  The only problem is I am in so much pain that I can hardly move.  Doctor appt. today in Provo and hopefully they can answer the questions I have.  This probably wouldn't be so bad if I had been a couch potato for the last 20+ years.  Being an exercise freak makes this crap all the harder.  Don't take your health for granted

I can't believe how time flies by, already the 9th.  I feel somewhat better but not good enough to run yet.  Weather is susposed to be really nice this weekend.  Hope if the weather is nice and we feel a little better than right now that Carolyn and I can at least ride the bikes around Manti.  We will see

I'll make this short and sweet!  I'm sick with the flu.  First day back to work since my last post.  No exercise for me.

Happy March 1st!  Woke up to 6 inches of snow this morning.  No workout yesterday because I finally have come down with Carolyn's bug.  I thought after a week and a half that I was in the clear but, NOT.  I am glad I have the job I have and that I can just kick back in my office all day.  The hardest thing I have did so far is get the rec. workers in the main yard to push snow off the track.  I will do inmate payroll and call it a day.  If I don't feel any better tomorrow I just might stay home.  My totals for last month:  Walk/Run 31.55 miles.  Lost 3 1/2 lbs.  Ok month.  Still looking forward to giving the bicycle a go
