| | Welcome to my snoozefest of a blog. I hoped so desperately that something exciting would happen today on my run, but nothing did. I started to think that I'm going to have to create my own excitement. But I just don't have it in me anymore. I'm old Gandalf. I know I don't look it, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel... thin. Sort of stretched, like... butter scraped over too much bread.

Emily is starting to get sick. She had a rough night last night. She had an accident at 1am, which I had to take care of even though she wanted her mommy to. Then she had another accident and started throwing up later. But when I got up this morning at 5:30am, I didn't feel sleep deprived. So, that was good. However, I had the runs. I tried to take care of it, but as soon as I started putting my running socks on, the runs became the squirts. So back to the drawing board. And by drawing board I mean toilet. Oh. You knew that? Finally I was ready to run. I was hoping to go 5.4 miles, but my back started hurting, so I cut it short. Then I got ready for work and decided to ride my bike since I didn't have to put Emily on the bus. 9.25 miles at 13.4 mph. Shoulda left 10 minutes before than what I did, but oh well. My back really started to hurt during the day. I was really hoping my bike ride home wouldn't aggravate it more. 9.75 miles home, cuz I take a different route. I think it did loosen up my back some. I tried out my new TENS unit for the first time and iced my back. I feel better now, but should probably take tomorrow off from running. :(

9.25 miles on the bike to work. I left my Garmin at work yesterday after turning it on to locate satellites. Fortunately it was still there. Unfortunately its battery is dead. Also, unfortunately I left my keys at home today thinking I wouldn't need them because I'm not driving. However, I do need to get into my office. Fortunately there is a spare key up front. Fortunately I got to ride my bike to work today. Unfortunately that means Emily is still sick. I think I could make a fortune telling people their fortunes. Or unfortunes.
9.75 miles home. I felt good, but my back gradually seized up, and I want to cry like a baby.

| | Well, Marathon Dreamer is going to run in the Javelina Jundred Saturday/Sunday, and I was going to pace her for one of her 6 loops. Sadly, I had to call her and say there's no way I can do it. My back hurts so bad right now. I went to the chiropractor this morning, and it feels a little better. Dag nabbit! | |
