Very funny, TW......

Almost punched the physio tech this morning.......

Went in for the second round of shockwave for my PF, which can be really painful if they use a bit too much pressure on the tender bits.  Last week, I got the tech who's really nice.... OK it hurt, but it was tolerable and he was careful with his aim and backed off when I yelped.  This week I got Edward, who's approach is always a bit too heavy-handed and scatter-gun at the best of times.  He hit the wrong spot on my arch a couple too many times (which REALLY hurt), and was singing away happily to himself throughout the whole ordeal. Grrrrr!

Had to check the mirror before I left to see how far my mascara had travelled.

Went to the work gym at lunch for a strength workout. And planks.  One of the guys was using that PX50(?) system to support his feet for pushups....while in a handstand.  Impressive!

If I quote Dave quoting Tom, would you get triple silence?  Just wondering.

ran out of time this moring and had the choice of packing to come home or getting in a run.  Decided DW would most likely prefer me to pack.

I suspect a cool down is on the horizon, Slo

Safe journey's Breger.

Roch, from the bottom of my heart, I'm glad it was you and not me.

Keeping you in my prayers Leslie.

Thanks for clearing that up Tom White.

Stumpy, when I pack for myself, DW goes back and makes sure I didn't screw it up.

This morning is the 2nd day in a row where I'm not in any kind of pain! It's been years. Since before we've gotten Tag any way. The Dr has me taking prescription iron supplements. She said up to three a day. I started with one for a week. The day I kicked it up to two, I went for a rare run where I really wanted to be out there and I had gas in the tank when I was done. I don't want to get my hopes up..ODAT..but I'm excited for today. I'd like to address the nausea. I'd sure it's part of the learning curve and body adapting.

We went out to the state park again as it's on the way to where DW works and my friend in Hospice. As soon as Tag bolted out of the truck, I pointed out a squirrel and he bolted after it...In the wrong direction. When he finally did see it, Tag took to flight several inches off the ground. The lucky squirrel was already headed up the tree at that time. We stayed on the ice covered paved roads. When black top was available, I ran as fast as I could and it felt greta! Two consecutive runs and I felt very good after both of them.

A good sized bird with a white underbelly fly by and landed in a tree.

On the right side of the tree, out on the 2nd larger limb, there is an owl sitting on the first cook.

We got to wondering what some of or poster children for posting do in their off time and made a great discovery.

Back near the truck Tag brought a baby animal he said followed him. He was sad because I made him leave it in hopes that it's mom will claim the poor thing.

SteveP great news.  I sure hope the iron supplements turn out to be the magic cure.

Hemerocallus can you schedule to see particular people?  It is not even close to as serious but my DW will not even go to the spa unless the masseuse she likes can see her.

Today was my first outdoor run in a looooong time!  Just 4 miles but it was GREAT!  If all is well tomorrow morning I will see about running 4.25 miles "with" the Joggers Club.  I put with in quotes since at most I would have company for a mile and a half.  After that I will need to peel off and return while everybody continues on for their hour plus run.

In cooking news I am working on my third ever yeast bread.  Sort of third.  Number two came out so badly I tossed out the finished product.  This is my second try making that same bread, an oatmeal-honey loaf.

welcome back mariposai. I find outin about two hours if I have to come back to the states on sunday, . . I mean get to go back;

\twocat - my four training runs this month, more than in the last four years all put together, must have over did it as I had another one of those very vivid running dreams this time I ran a marathon saturday morning.  I`ll let you know tomorrow if it was true or not.
