| Sick. Bubbles had it Friday night, and I got it last night. Joy. If she felt as bad as I do right now, she is one tough baby! Good news is that I know from her experience that it will only last 24 hours. |

| Had four miles on the schedule but for some reason I got it in my head I had to run five. Well I ran three with Bubbles. At mile 2.5 she decided we were done. I can't remember the last time she did that as she normally loves the stroller. Well, when she complains, which she rarely does about anything, I take it very seriously. Fortunately we were on a course that never takes me more than 0.5 miles from home. We went right home. She seemed fine when I got home, until later. Then I think she had a tummy ache. Thank God for gas drops! |

Ran six tonight with Bubbles. Tonight she was quite content. I am happy with the run as I ran well and had negative splits and kept MP+15sec with the stroller with not much effort. I do love the taper, but am now realizing how much of my stress I was burning during my running. My stress levels have radically increased the last week and a half. Part of the reason is my "situation" at work is getting much worse. I really felt the stress tonight in my arms and shoulders. I left a lot of thoughts about the garbage at work on the road tonight. I just have to remember that is where it is, not in my brain anymore.
Someone else on the blog (or maybe the forum) mentioned that body parts start to hurt during the taper that never did before. Well that is happening to me. Soleus in my right calf decided to let me know it was there the past few days. I've been stretching. Lately, I've been cautious about peroneus tightness on the outside of that calf, but never soleus. The tightness is peroneus was discovered by the massage therapist, so I have been stretching and making sure I run on both sides of banked streets. I see the massage therapist tomorrow. |

One of my dogs is very sick. I only had 4 miles on the schedule but I had to run 6 to process everything. I told myself I could cry during the first mile but after that it would not be productive. The rest of the run was very cathartic. Too bad I am tapering. |

| Today, life got in the way of running. The greyhound died today. He was 13.5 years old. It was bone cancer so we knew he wasn't going to make it and got to say goodbye. I draw a lot of comfort from the fact that we know he had a very good life the short time he was with us. He was a Hurricane Katrina evacuee who never left our home. He couldn't go home, as he was not well taken care of before the storm. We honestly didn't think he and his friend would survive the first night at our house, they were in such bad shape. We gave him just over two very good years of life. I will miss him. The other dogs (and there are three of them) are being very affectionate, so I am not sure what they think. One, I call The Comforter since he has been very comforting when I have been very, very sad. He seems to know when I need an extra nuzzle. He seems to know that now. |
