You had me at me.

You had me at me? I can't believe I did that. Should have been "you had me at mud!" I bet my face is red.

LOL evryday! I was curious, but just assumed it was a 'digitally challenged' moment!

4.05 miles easy pace, light nw winds, dewy, high humidity, feeling pretty much back to normal physically. Mentally, we are still in post race euphoria. Lynda had taped the elites portion of the race from Fox sports and we watched last night. Now I know what run like a Kenyan means (womens winner), so smooth so efficient, wow! As far as the crowds it was actually pretty managable, the waves meant you kind of ran with your own group like a local 5k except there was 82 of them . Hope to get back in the field when the dew goes off this morning. Missed the bad stuff that hit Kearney NE last night, watched that thunderhead build from the backside and move east. Motivated us to put hail insurance on the corn. Have a great Friday forties folks!!

Evryday- I knew it was a typo, but I wasn't sure what you had planned on typing. Farmer Jim - Post-race euphoria. It feels good, huh? I'm only just now coming down . . . a little bit. Cindy - Without giving TMI, it's not exactly a rash. Went to the doc yesterday and she prescribed this ointment to put on. Well, guess what the side affects are? Burning and itching! What the ....?!?!? I didn't get to sleep until after midnight when a Benedryl finally knocked me out. I'm back to Gold Bond and am going to get a referral to a dermatologist. Whatever this is, the doc's never seen before and I want to get a handle on it ASAP if and when it occurs again. I'm walkin' like I got a corn cob up the bum! Oh wait - is that TMI??? Ha! Hope you all have a great weekend.

Witchhazel is not necessarily for rash...FYI: The active ingredient in witch hazel is a tannin acid derivative called catechol tannin, much like the tannins present in tea. Tannins are vasoconstrictors — they constrict the tiny capillaries and venules below the skin surface. .......they gave us patches (like you can get @ Walmart) for relief of the stitches after childbirth, etc. http://www.herbalextractsplus.com/witch-hazel.cfm?gclid=CPzXjKLlzpMCFRQXsgodo2xwjg

Oh, baby! Bring it on!!

another great remedy is an ointment called "Corona." No, not the beer, although that may help. It comes in a yellow tube with a red cap. It says its for horses, cows, goats and small pets.... and ultra runners! But is found in the pharmacy aisle at the local supermarket. The stuff is GREAT...my wife and I both swear by it.

Joe: my "parts" is feelin' fine! amazingly, I was only a little tired after BB....nothing stiff & sore...& the group has already started the marathon traiing schedule....23 wks....it calls for a "slow & easy' build - as most of the group are beginners....I'm bumping that up just a little bit, maybe closer to a more intermediate schedule....cause I've already got a little base & I have another HM the end of June.... we'll see how that all goes for me....I don't even have a target finish time for this here marathon....maybe just to finish it should be the goal!! Anyway, we did timed miles two weeks ago & I maybe went out a little fast & got a 9:42 mile....which puts me in the 2nd highest/fastest running group....which called for 30 mins easy today....but the coaches told me that since I have been running regularly, I have the option of going longer, so I went 50 mins @ 10:30ish pc..... whatever was going on w/me on Monday is apparently all better I felt like I had to fight for the 10:28 pc on Monday, today, 10:30 is "conversational!" I dunno! Well, on another note...GD moved out last night! Yesterday was last day of school for the Summer....hopefully her Dad gets her registered closer to where HE lives! which leaves me free to run when I want (relatively) & more importantly - I get to go back to being just a Grandma! YAY!! There was a whole lotta drama w/the last day...which I may go into later when I have more time.... Have a Great Weekend Everybody!!
