Why Twisted?  I have no idea.  It's only "T" word I could come up with. 

6 chilly predawn miles.  I'm really ready for it to not be so cold in the mornings.  I end up blowing so many snot rockets while running, it's ridiculous.  Having a chronic runny nose doesn't help the situation.  Regardless, I got 'em done.

The heater in our office building quit working.  I actually dressed nice yesterday (skirt instead of jeans) and froze my butt off even though I have a space heater and it was on high all day.  One of the partners got here early this a.m. and went around and turned on all the space heaters in people's offices (if they have one).  It's still frigging cold.  Thankfully, a repairman is supposed to be coming tomorrow.  'Til then, I may need to keep running hot water over my fingers to make them work.

QOTD: Do you take any supplements to help in your recovery?  I started taking collagen a couple of years ago and last week started on turmeric curcumin w/piperine (black pepper extract) to see if that helps, as well.

I took a SRD yesterday.  Today I got up and did 5 mi before the wind, rain and thunderstorms hit. It's already raining like hell and it's supposed to be really cruddy the rest of the day. We have a tornado warning at the moment.

Gatsby: uuuugh, hope everything is ok out there.

fatozzig: You're a great influence on your DH, he's lucky.  I know because my DW also gave me a similar ultimatum way back before we were married, fortunately I listened. I didn't hit a rock bottom or anything close to it, but my DW "nipped it in the bud" as they say.

qotd: No supplements, but I do make sure I eat something with protein in it like yogurt, protein bar, burger, etc. soon after long runs to recover.  Plus I drink some HEED or PowerAde afterwards to recharge electrolytes.

Ran 5 miles this morning. It was a pretty nice run. The Asics have come around. Maybe they got jealous after the new Hoka's showed up. Either way, I think either shoe is going to work for me. I will probably run the 100 miler in the Asics. I'll bring the Hoka's just in case. I have only changed shoes once in a long run like that, and I don't think that made a difference either way.

QOTD: I'll try to do something with CBD after a long run. Other than that, I just try to eat a balanced diet.

Took the day off from running yesterday as even when the rain stopped it felt raw and bitter. Such a slacker. Today, had time for a lunchtime run and it was a pleasant 5 mile loop out at the lake under sunny skies and on muddy trails. There was a bit of a cold wind but with temps in the 40's not too bad. We saw our friend Ash the GSP. He is almost always out there at lunchtime.

QOTD: Nothing now, but I took some liquid glucosamine supplement once. Back around 2018/2019. The stuff was doing wonders at the time for my creaky knees, but after 6 weeks I had some strange side effects from some additive in the product. I was all dizzy and whacked and went to the ER in a panic attack. I didn't link it to the product until a few days later when the same thing happened. Stopped that stuff and the symptoms went away, but my creaky knees came back.

Weird and sad times in HMB, where 7 farmworkers were killed in a mass shooting yesterday afternoon.  Sites were 4 and 5 miles from my house.  Gunman was another farmworker, apparently, and he turned himself in.  No word yet about motive.  Did not directly affect us or anyone that I know, other than to show that that this lovely area on the coast side is not exempt from the woes of the rest of the country.  The fact that it seems more akin to a domestic dispute than a random shooting helps a little.  Weird that it's the second mass shooting in CA where the shooter was an older asian male.

Fatozzig, glad that you and your DH weathered the storm and have been in a good place since he got sober.

XT, scary about the side effects from that supplement.  It's essentially an unregulated market so supplement makers can put all sorts of crap in their products.  Hard to know what brands to trust.  I haven't had any issues, but I also haven't done any research on the manufacturers or what they put into the supplements that I take.

SRD yesterday, 6 easy miles after work.

QOTD: I take a multivitamin and Vitamin C/D/zinc complex daily, and glucosamine and MSM a few times a week.  I feel good, with no injuries or issues.  Do the supplements help with recovery, is it placebo effect, or am I just an awesome specimen of humanity?  Hard to say.
