In the waiting room right now, so will let you know in about an hour & a half...

Here is some waiting music for you.

I'm not normally one to post my reply before the quote, but somehow I deleted too much below and can't get back into it on my phone. To answer your question, I'm thinking about running 8 miles after work today. It's great beach weather, so I need to do as much sightseeing as possible.

 You runnin' today B+?  You crack me up sometimes about that

 

If it's anything like seeing my ortho doc, it's 55 minutes in the waiting room, 5 minutes actually being seen by a doctor.   

Except this is going to be 5 minutes of a guy either referring me to see someone else, or telling me to just quit this running nonsense & stop wasting the time of the medical profession.

I hunted around for an ortho that was actually a runner so I wouldn't have to deal with that shit. She is the best.

What do you do, just look up doctors' names and then pop over and enter them on athlinks?  I called around for a while trying to find a podiatrist that was a runner, but couldn't do any better than someone that ran just a couple days a week.

Good evening, people.

Rick, thank you for starting today's thread. Sweet six.

Sarah, I'm proud of how well you're taking care of yourself.

Damaris, have a great five-miler. I hope that your allergy shot isn't troublesome.

kristin10185, enjoy your SRD and yoga. Good luck tomorrow!

Phil, Happy Birthday!

Jay, damn. You're handling things more classily than I probably would. May you have the strength to go through this.

scottydawg, yay for sleeping in! Fantastic four-miler yesterday. Good luck with your race(s)!

Brr, excellent easy four.

Shari, a speedy and complete recovery to you.

Phil, smoking 14.25. And happy birthday!

Nicole, have fun serving four to five on the TM.

AprilRunner, that's what I call a wonderful surprise

Tom, enjoy doing whatever you do.

Marjorie, fantastic 14.1.

jjs22, have fun with weights and running.

Ric-G, enjoy whatever you do.

lilac_jive, brava on running faster than what you expected.

Zelanie, beautiful five-miler. I hope that you and DH have a great time at the race.

SIAR, sweet 6.5. I'm glad that you avoided the rain.

DaveP MI, good luck at the doctor's.

Yesterday, I did weights, push-ups, ab work, and forty-five minutes on the ArcTrainer.

Today is almost a URD. Almost. I went to the gym, intending to do the second quality workout of the week. Then, someone wished me good luck on my race tomorrow. (I'm doing the Firecracker 4-Miler in Swampscott, MA.) Oops. I guess I'll be moving that to Friday morning.

I couldn't be completely inactive, so, I did a slow hour, walking at 2.0mph.

I'm heading to my parents'. They live near the race I an extend the race by either doing a warmup run to the race or a cooldown on the way back to my parents' for a shower.

8.1 run and done. Wanted 10 but it felt like I was simultaneously running underwater and on the surface of the sun. Blurgh. I'm getting a beer.
