Hi everyone! Hope the weekend is going well so far! I got out this morning for a run - I mean to get out around 8AM but hit the snooze button one too many times and slept in until 8
I did a quick 3 miler and set my Garmin to 10/1 intervals in case I needed it but decided I was going to run the whole thing! It got hard around 2.5 miles but I pushed through and finished. I guess you do lose a little something after taking a month off. The ankle is so-so - will make sure it stays in a brace and keep icing it today.
Dave - I don't have a car - I have to borrow everyone else's
Haha!! Walking and biking to work would be tough because I live about 15K from work. If I were to move closer, the rent or purchase price of a house/condo etc. goes up a lot. I wish that our city would improve the transit system - as it is, it's difficult to use and is always very crowded
I think European and Asian cities are designed differently so that walking and cycling is easier. When I visited my cousins in Amsterdam, everything (grocery, bakery, shopping) were all within a 5 minute walk of their house. In the part of Toronto that I live in, the closest grocery is a 10-15 minute walk but I know for others it can be as long as 15-25 minutes.
Kirstie - Glad to hear that Tinkerbelle is on the mend! That's really cute that she likes Dumbo and the tea cups - those are my favourites too!
for your arm - I hope it heals quickly!
MaryJ - I only remember Soylent Green from a reference in The Simpsons
Margie - I think it's probably good that you don't recognize most of those shows. The TV is a real time burglar
Put me down for another 1.1 lb loss! Yay!
Robert - Congrats on the 25lb loss! That's fantastic! Are you RDing any upcoming races?
Mike - How did you do on your race today?
Lynn - I forgot about your upcoming trip! Boy does time fly! The Denver race sounds like fun - I need to win the lottery so I can travel to all these races. It's just not in my budget to do so
Hope you recover from your cold before your trip
Regina - I use Body Glide for chafing on my legs and thighs and I've got running rocks (Smart Wool) for my feet. I've found for longer distances, I get chafing in the weirdest places - so sometimes it's just a matter of not wearing a particular shirt or shorts for a really long run. I also tried using the brace at night but sometimes it gets too tight and I end up taking it off after a couple hours.
Hope - Disney does some wonderful cakes. Have you seen the cake thread on the dining board? What kind of cake are you going for?
Phew! That's a long post - have a great day everyone!
