Morning.
Gonna take it easy today, not feeling too bad. The chafing on my right shin all the way from last Thursday... omg it just won't go away!! It actually chafed so hard that it became a scrape, ugh. But the good news is that it is the scrape or whatever that hurts, not my shin when rollerblading. My left lower leg has a minor chafe, not bad.
It's raining all day today, I've got to get DH's new shoes and some drinks for his shop.

Someone left a negative review of a wobble board on Amazon because -- and I swear I am not making this up -- it "feels too unstable." It's a wobble board. Isn't that the whole point?? I can't even with people anymore.
chasing the impossible

10 x 300m / jog back to start - except after 5 I took a longer jog before coming back for the last 5.

Morning! Didn't run yesterday but I did lift. I have 7 tonight.
Made an appointment with the allergy center nearby. I suspect I'm allergic to certain trees here but I want to know what new shitty allergy I have. It's Wednesday and I have to stop taking Zyrtec like...tomorrow. I might have not thought this through.

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.

Boy, am I brain dead.
I had forgotten that ONLY the reason I started running paved stream grade park trail... it was because I couldn’t run DIRT, nor do tilt. To get bits of hill in my longer run, instead of heading north from the start point, I can head south: a bit paved, then dirt and over the dirt over bumps section I mention, a bit of park access road then paved stream grade... and back. And can easily add excursions to add more small hills and bits of road crown if I want.
Addendum: rest day, do chore around the house day
That's golden right there.
Speaking of reviews, I'm in the market for an adult scooter. Apparently (allegedly) it works the glutes like nobody's business, and I need that.
4 easy miles.
Bluerun, isn't that the point of a wobble board?
LRB, wouldn't you have to continually switch which leg you use to push on a scooter to work the glutes equally?

I was thinking X distance with one leg, then turn around and do the same distance with the other. But yes, your way would work too, although with my lack of coordination, I'd likely kill myself.

I was sucking air like if I were running with a straw. Good thing I was taking long breaks because running at that pace is not very appreciated by my respiratory system
Have you scootered before? Now is not the time to break a hip.
My heel was sore yesterday so I skipped running this morning. Hopped on the bike for 60 min instead.

But... how??Supposedly, I have no antibodies. I don't trust the results anyway, and if I had to pay for that test I wouldn't have done it, but since I didn't it was just a free waste of time.
