      And I was two sets of lifting because people kept hogging my third machine and then 30 minutes on the exercise bike at level 13 hill setting. same as it always was.

        I took today off and I was glad the shutdown instructions say to stay home if you had off anyway, since the government closed and open while I was asleep.

         

        I have OTF at noon and then Pilates and 6 (for the day) tonight.

          Run commute day. I might make it a triple and run during soccer practice this evening. If I don't I'll spend 90 minutes watching 11 yo girls at soccer practice on a low and narrow wooden bench in an elementary school gym.

            I dropped my tablet last night and broke the screen. I have insurance but will have to front the $835 replacement cost then get reimbursed minus the deductible ($112).

             

            The bad part is I can't get into it to copy the hard drive, so I might lose everything on it.

             

            Blah.

              LRB, that sucks. When i had my purse stolen, they also made me buy a replacement one first, submit my receipt, before they reimbursed me (minus the deductible). Hope you don't end up losing everything.

               

              I finally am fever free.  So naturally I ran 6 miles on the TM. I'm going to start guzzling coffee (or maybe Mt. Dew (as per Whiskers)) so I can feel more human.

                I use Right Guard Xtreme Sport Gel for chafing. It's never failed me. It's a tip I picked up from ScottyDog 20 years ago. I've tried Bodyglide and a few other similar ones and they work okay, but the Right Guard gel leaves a dry, frictionless surface that seems to last forever and I like better than the greasier stuff. Except the Right Guard kinda dries out my toes and I might get RunGoo or something like that just for toes.

                 

                Are we talking about the deodorant, here?

                  Rest day is the best day! My longest running stretch so far with 8 days in a row and everything is feeling good. No sickness here <knocks on every surface nearby, wood or otherwise>

                    I am not a coffee drinker and only occasionally do wine or beer. My vice has always been soda... although I have been successful in recent years with limiting myself to only a can or 2 on the weekends. However, sometimes when you are having one of those days, a Mt Dew makes all the difference   And they are free at my work so temptation can be tough.

                      I was feeling cabin fever (stuck inside after the ice storm plus being sick) so I decided to go for a run even though I'm not healthy. I was fine while running, but as soon as I got back inside, I started coughing again. It was worth it though. Six somewhat hilly miles.

                       

                      Cy - I'd go for a run too rather than sit on the bench.

                        Work is so busy AHHHHH!  I didn't eat lunch until 2:30 and had to make time.  But enough about that....2600 yard swim done before work, and a short run on tap tonight.

                         

                        So there I was looking over next week's training schedule...looks interesting, some different stuff next week.  Then I see the 5,000 yard swim Thursday.    The Ironman swim is 4200 yards and was my longest ever.  So take that and add 15 minutes.  I may need arm replacement surgery after that one.

                          I think I would drown on purpose.  I can't even imagine.

                           

                          6.5 this morning.  Less of a struggle than yesterday, but I mostly just wanted to be done.  I apparently really need a Friday.  In addition to my body being tired, my brain has decided to check out of life.  I just spent an hour on the phone with a client only to realize later that we spent that entire time talking about another client's documents.  This is next level idiotic on my part.    I haven't felt this stupid (and embarrassed) in a long time.  I sent a groveling apology with assurance that the phone call will be no charge.  This day needs to end before I eff up anything else.

                            I am done with work and am now enjoying my favorite beer in the whole wide world at my favorite watering hole. 🍺

                             

                            It's been snowing non-stop since whenever it started and is pretty much a mess out there. I still think it's more hysteria than anything, I mean come on, it's Michigan, news flash; it snows in Michigan. This is not our first rodeo people, act like you've been here before.

                              Everyone was freaking out yesterday about the snow. 6-8 inches! Omg! It’s Wisconsin. It snows. It’s not even a foot. The roads were even miraculously plowed enough that I got my 17 miles in with 7 @ MP and 3 @ 7:45 pace.

                                I'm imagining it is like when we get 0.01 inches of rain.

                                 

                                Stay safe everyone!
