Just when you think you've sunk to a new low, alas, you've gone ever lower. I got so sick last week, I lost 8 pounds in 5 days. That's another 7 days without so much as a sit up. You'd think that losing a few pounds would be a bonus prize for getting sick, but still my clothes don't fit right. Even when I weigh this much while I'm running, my pants and shirts are not this tight. Everything gets wide when I don't run, even if I weight the same, or less. I don't suggest the H1N1 diet, it's bad. Today was the first day I've had the strength and time and where-with-all to get out there. It was lovely to be outside, thankfully I'm high enough on the bench to avoid some of the poorer air quality of the valley. I had a wonderful warm-ish winter run up the canyon with the doggies. I love getting outside in the winter, it gives me the sence of triumph over nature. Sundance opened today, but I think it was a mistake for them to push the opening. I went to pick up my pass yesterday, and I would not suggest using that snow. Maybe snow boarders don't care. However, one more big storm, and I'm there. I'm excited, particularly now I live so close. |
