About to head out for probably 4ish miles. This will be my 3rd day in a row running, as I'm bumping up my run days from 4 to 5 days a week this week. It has been many months since I've done 3 in a row as I've been doing Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun for a long time. I'm feeling pretty good though.

Basya - I've noticed your paces have been picking up lately. It's neat to see that average pace inching down.

I am planning to just do a bike ride today to an appointment, and probably take the scenic route home. Maybe 10 miles total?

Basya, I hope this little girl's parents come to accept reality and get the help she requires. These are her formative years. It's important for her to understand what is going on inside of her so that she can better deal with life's situations later. My good thoughts go to her, her family and you as well. Thank you for caring. My son is Asperger as well, but he's very different. He could not care less about having friends. At 17, you can hardly see that he's a bit different. He's just a usual introverted computer nerd and he's happy like that. He'll need to find a nerdy computer girl eventually. Where does one find those?

I did not run last night because I ran out of time. Today, I'm leaving for Eastern Canada (PEI). It's a 10-12 hour drive. We're going to prepare our rental cottages at the beach. There's probably still snow there. Think Maine on steroids... Not a fun trip, but I like being on the road, I like the feeling of it. And I'm excited at the idea of running on country roads again. The view of the ocean is amazing and I love running outside over there. It's quiet and there is usually no one on the roads that I run on (except for the occasional dead snake, which I've learned to not fear. Almost died of a heart attack the first time I encountered one)  Okay, talk to you later, guys, if I can get a connection in the car. Be good!

'Sup.

I went flying backwards off of a ladder yesterday and landed on my butt bone, then the ladder landed on my shin (yes, the one that was already injured) leaving an egg sized bump on it.

While the shin is not necessarily sore, my butt bone is a little. I could have probably run, but that would be stupid.

The thing of it is, is that was not the worst part of it all.

I am just going to put as much distance between me and yesterday as possible and call it what it was; one of the worst days I have ever had.

 But the good thing is that today is another day!

Exactly.

Good morning, children of the internet.  We had some pretty good rain come through last night, with a lot more in the forecast through the weekend, which is fine because we need it.  LET IT RAIN!  I'll run after work, distance and intensity TBD.

I ran 5.5m easy this morning, and it was much less eventful than what everybody else's day seems to be.

Stay safe, LRB and Lauren.
