What a dismal day! It’s grey and rainy and I very much wanted to just stay in bed this morning. But I’m a responsible adult, darn it, and so I’m at work writing (really awful) code. Gym time happened, though, … Continue reading →

Easy, solid 30-minute recovery run today: 2.4 miles. Since it was raining, I confined myself to the treadmill. At least Colbert was on? (Naturally the sun came out after I was done. Grumble.) I am extra sore today– not just … Continue reading →

Other people’s adventures with doctors

Posted on September 30, 2013 by G

Easy peasy 30 minute run today through the neighborhood. I was hoping to get to 25 miles this month, but alas, my total is only 22.5 miles. It’s okay– I started off slow this month, but I finished strong. So … Continue reading →

I’ve been itching to go for a run (this weekend was busy yet sedentary and it was driving me nuts) so I went out this morning the first chance I got.  The weather is poopy, gray and showers threatening, so … Continue reading →
