At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time. (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Goooood Morning everyone,
I'm doing OK. Spent the last 5 days lying on my side with my head on 1 pillow only watching TV all day. Wasn't allowed to read. Was allowed to sit up every hour for 5 minutes. I was soooo bored! At least as of today I'm allowed to sit up again for a while. And I'm allowed to read again. Still can't see a thing with my R-eye, due to the gas in there. But that's supposed to get better in the next few days. I'm still off work this week. If I have full vision back in my R-eye, I'm allowed to go back to work as of next Monday for no more than 4 hours a day.
Anyways, still feel bummed about not being able/allowed to run the Roparun in a few weeks. I still have to discuss my June races (10 miler and half marathon) with the retinal surgeon.
And of course, not being able to run at all. I have two colleagues who can do without running for 6 weeks, then PR in a half mary. I'm not that kind of runner. After a week of no running my legs don't want to move forward. After 3 weeks... I hate to think about it. Guess I'll just have to focus on my September races now.
Everyone have a great week!

Thanks Leslie.
Tuesday - allergies or sinus infection? still haven't figured out which, but whichever it is, it's so bad that it's breathing as XT today
Wednesday - 30 minute walk; tried for a run but HR said "no way;" good to be outside and moving (MTA - went to bed way early; feeling slightly better so far early Thurs am; hopeful!)
Taking a break, again. Not quitting running, just trying to reboot running and other aspects of my life. It's all good. Will be thinking of you and will be back soon.

Hang in there, Dutchie! It's harder to be still when you're told to than when you want to. Hopefully you'll be cleared to do something like the elliptical, pool running, soon. It's unfortunate about your summer running plans, but at least you know you'll be able to see that finish line when you come roaring across it!
Trails are hard!
Dutchie--glad you were able to get your eye fixed. It may be frustrating, but once you're back seeing clearly AND running again, you won't miss the 3 weeks. (too much )
It's not Friday yet, but thought I'd get a little earlier start after missing the entire week last time around.
Monday: Yoga. Done.
Tuesday: 3.5 miles. Done, in gorgeous IRC with a little sproink even.
Wednesday: x-training or 2 miles. cross-mowing after work and 1.5 miles with Max after dinner.
Thursday: 3.5 miles. 3.8 miles on another perfect morning.
Friday: Rest. done.
Saturday: 6K race or pump class. Missed both so far. Hope for something else later today. max and I walked 1.5
Sunday: 6.5 miles 6.5 done plus 1.5 with Max.
Toals: 13.7 running and 4.5 Maxing
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
M: rest day T: 8 miles W: 8 miles Th: 7.4 miles F: 4.6 miles Sa: 18.6 miles Su: 4.6 miles
