LONG DESERVED.
Woke up at 11am, watched NHL highlights, then couple of hours of treating peppers (aphids suck), now coffee and lunch. From what I understand, Margaret is on her way to Copenhagen now, then layover to Riga <3 We meet in approx 40 hours or so
Plan:
14-16 Lithuania
18-20 Finland
22-23 Both days floorball (oh no)
Days in between to wash/repack stuff [:
Not sure yet how much of time in Finland I'll decide to wander and finally mind only my own business, and how much - joinining Margaret in her adventures. For instance, sauna is not on my list and won't ever be Helsinki Library and Sori Taproom (), tho, sound good. Or seaside.
We had temps fall below freezing last night, so, uhm, not sure about that last gasp of summer; at least here, Karen. It's going to be 15*C and raining on Saturday (Lithuania race day) and Margaret is not happy, to say the least Seems like rain on our Finland travel days too; welcome to Nordics, Margaret Rainy Helsinki is about as Scandinavian as it gets. At least a good excuse to wrap myself in one of the dozens of hoodies I have, as a true introvert.

Wow, this trip for Margaret and Elina got her fast. Have so much fun, you two!
Just another short, easy run for me. An hour or so as soon as I finish my coffee (and before it starts heating up).

Woohoo, so exciting. Have fun, ladies!
I have 4 later. I have a vet appointment for Sasha (booster), then my sports med doctor to look at my knee. Which feels silly since it is not bothering me now but you never know. Might as well get it checked.
Karen, enjoy the run!

Woot woot Elina and Margaret! Have fun.
I think I will skip today and run tomorrow as a strategy for Sunday's race.

Happy Thursday (Friday for me as I am off Fr/Mo whoo hoo)!
3.1 and upper body workout. These dark mornings are killing me. I left at 7:35 today and because it's cloudy, it was still darkish. Not to mention all of the people driving to work so I had to dodge several cars
Our weekend weather looks worse and worse. We looked at moving to another part of the state to camp as it's better (no rain) but trying to switch and pay the cancellation fee, etc and BF's brother and sil are also going so in the end we're just going to go. I guess there's always inside activities like drinking ha ha.
Elina and Margaret - have fun!!
Karen - have a great run!
Lori - sounds like a good plan, enjoy your RD!

Finally had hysterectomy yesterday and will only have to be off running for 3 weeks.
All your travels sound like exciting fun!
Where is the "any" key?

Judy, hoping you get some relief from the pain. I restarted biking after 1 week from my hysto, slowly. Then walking on week 2, and week 3 a slow run/walk. May your recovery is as smoothly.
Laura, nice run.
Lori, sounds like a plan.
I had to cancel the doctor's appointment. It was in Carmel and I have a court hearing and 3 meetings this afternoon, which means I cannot escape to Carmel (Fishers was pushing it already). I'll continue looking for someone closer. Knee if feeling OK.
And the Sasha girl wouldn't go into the carrier so I had to cancel that one too. Sigh. She is going on Saturday when hubby is here to help. She is huge and fears the carrier. So instead, I ran my 4.
Judy, I wasn't aware! Speedy recovery to you.
So in drama news, remember the bitch at work and her cohort that sued the Miami office and sued most of us (not me, phew)? Well bitch #2 is now the boss of the Miami office and pandemonium has started. When it was announced at their staff meeting, there was a huge silence. Between the shock and the disgust, no one said a thing, lol. I wonder how one can be the boss of people she sued? Fun times. I sure don't miss that office.
Judy - speedy recovery!!
Damaris - wow, that is wild about the B***h. That office would definitely have an 'interesting' dynamic!
