5+ miles in this morning, a bit slower than the last couple days. And I'll add on a strength training class later. Hopefully that helps me clear out my head after a tough morning with DS. Some days I wish I just didn't care about _______. Life would be so much easier if I didn't care.

Wow was I tired yesterday!  Guess the old bod forgot what running on pavement was all about!

3 mile pub run tonight.

I'm a lazy turd today.  Slept in.

Probably won't do anything later either.  I MIGHT get in my 6 minutes of hammy stretches......MIGHT.

The link is what inspired DH to purchase his car.

Trouble with baddies, eh ?

Well, got to work at the university and our whole network was down, so we could not do any work.  So my boss told me to go the the gym for an hour or so and get my run in and come back.  I was planning on running after work today, but who am I to argue with the boss?   So got a rare morning run in when it was actually light out.  And since school is in full session, I got to see lots of Great Legs as I did the Diploma Dash 5K route around the campus, nice!

I also got tagged by a car!  It was not that big of a deal, though.  I was in one of the on-campus crosswalks and this car still kept coming at me, so I hightailed it the rest of the way across, but the car's bumper edge just barely clipped the back of my right foot, which made me spin around a time or two and then I fell down, luckily onto a grassy area on the other side of the road.  I really was not injured at all, just have a slight bruise on my heel now and a slight scrape on one elbow.  Good thing the speed limit on campus on that area is only 10 mph.  Right after I fell I heard a siren.  Turned out there was a campus police officer in the adjacent parking lot doing speed checks and he had seen the whole thing. He stopped the car and it turned out it was some student, about 20 or so, and he had been texting while driving, probably why he didn't see me - and was STILL texting when the cop stopped him, he still had his phone in his hand when the cop went up to the car.  Smart kid.    So he got a ticket and a good chewing out by the officer, and my lose his campus driving privileges, as it is not only a state and city violation to text and drive, but also against university policy.  The cop offered to take me to the school health clinic to get checked, but I was okay - heck, I got hurt worse than this the time I ran into that police horse's butt - and I even ran my last half-mile back to the gym with no problems at all, no limping, etc.  Will see how I feel tomorrow, though, lol, sometimes the soreness can be 'delayed" for a bit, as I well know from past experience with DOMS.  Anyway, everything's cool, it could have been a lot worse.

As for today...It's September 17th, Constitution Day.   On this day in history in 1787, the US Constitution was signed in Philadelphia by the Constitutional Convention delegates. It was ratified by all the states a year or so later, in 1788.

And today's holidays are.....

Apple Dumpling Day (yuk!)

Citizenship Day

"Time's Up!" Day

36 wind chill already, LRB?  Dang, early winter for you!  75 here in San Antonio right now, going to 91 degrees for a high today.

Congrats on your good run, Tom.

Good luck with your post-work 6, SUS.  Sorry to hear the Spam Monster is back at RW.

Glad your rest day rejuvenated you, Phil.   Happy 8 miles tonite!

Hope your PT appointment goes well, Oski.

Happy rest day, lilac.  Someone really cool....was it a polar bear?  What would you do for a Klondike bar? 

Nice running, Andrew, in your cold weather!  I can hardly wait for us to get to winter...we usually have temps of 50 and 60 degrees, so our winter is our 'mild' time for us.  Probably like Spring for you, lol.

Good luck with the 9 miles, Damaris.  No mild weather here either.  91 high, heat index of 98.

Enjoy your walk, FreeSoul.  Do you hitch the stroller to the dog and get some help rolling it along?  Mush, doggie, mush! 

Congrats on your miles, Marjorie.  8 miles in a cul-de-sac!  You have a lot of patience!

Sounds like you need a workout, Step, after your morning.

Happy "make-up 6" after work today, Zelanie.  Sleep attack, sounds like your body wanted some rest!

Pub run, jj?  Do you get to stop at pubs along the way?

Sorry about the toenail, Hobbit.  Permanent fix:  surgery on the toe, then the nail grows in a 'hump".  Mine was done like that several years ago.  It looks pretty darn ugly but the thing sure never gets ingrown again.

Everybody deserves to be lazy once in a while, MBC.  Enjoy!

Congrats on your miles, Dave, enjoy the cooler weather.

Sorry about the cold, Meaghan!  Will a chest rub help?

Thank goodness it wasn't worse!  WTH is wrong with kids today?  (OMG I'm old)

Scotty- haha no, especially not with Rocky... he is for the most part off leash during these hikes, but when I get him back to trail running with me I'll most likely have him on a leash.
