    Hello?  It's 42!Roll eyes

     

    Scotty, the answer is 6, at least for today.  It certainly wasn't at recovery pace tho, but the effort was easy, I guess that's the important part.  But now after what I ate for lunch, I want to go run a double lol

    As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

      Will run for beer.

        Scottydog - sorry about your loss.  That is an awesome, awesome, memory.

         

        Histoplasmosis?  Who has histoplasmosis?!  Nasty nasty bug/disease...

         

        AFM - 8 miles on the dreadmill.  Easy pace.   It is the pace I should have ran last Saturday.  -12 deg after windchill factored in according to the National Weather Service.  That doesn't hold much interest for me.

                Scotty - great story.  Thank you for sharing.

                 

                Rach - in the summer, I would envy you living in Alaska, but not now.  It's not just the cold, but the grey skies.  I follow a writer's blog from Haines (Heather Lende) and while I really love the photos and stories about life in Alaska, having winter start in September and end in June would get old for me, I think.  I need sunshine.

                 

                Not that we got much sun today.  Today was not a running day, and given the grey gloom I was just as happy not to be spending much time outdoors.  I got numb white fingers just walking from the car to the store.  It took 45 minutes to get feeling back in my fingers, and I was wearing gloves!

                    Vance, I have it. Two different spots were found on CT's during my colon cancer ordeal.

                     

                    Bin, not real sure how. It's a fungus that grows in soil and becomes airborne. Doc said i prolly breathed it in while running. But there are a bazillion pigeons at work, that may be where I picked it up.

                      Hog4life - Where do you live?  When I grew up in Arizona, there was a common fungus in the soil known as "Valley Fever".  A friend of my mother's lost half a lung to it.  I was told that most people who lived there long enough would get it, but most never knew it as the only symptom was feeling a bit tired and run down.  Glad they caught yours.


                      Dad on the run.

                        Mitch - Glad to hear that its treatable and nothing major.

                         

                        No run for me today, my legs are still a little tender from the 10 milers yesterday evening. Probably going to get up tomorrow though and head out for 5 or 6.
