Morning trailers!  Got it just under 4 yesterday at the hottest part of the day--85 and humid- which made for very slow miles.  Foot is slightly better, so I'm hopeful.  AT-- thanks for the advice. The results were inconclusive so I think the diagnosis is 'impatient hypochondriac'. Anyone else here with that problem?

qotd:  With all that's in the news lately, I cannot do anything serious today.  So, what's your latest netflix (or like) addiction right now?  I got the Deadwood series from the library last week so that's what we've been watching. It is as good as I remembered.

Today is an SRD, and it is also the first official day of training for Cajun Coyote in December if I decide to run it. I have put together a weekly training schedule all the way up to the race, but I am going to re-evaluate the mileage to time. I've done that with marginal success in the past, but I always seem to go back to miles as the primary metric for training.

QOTD: My latest thing is sort of weird. I have been re-working a lawn mower. Oddly, I find a great deal of relaxation in the process of making it work correctly. When I got it, it only had about 45 hours on it and had been sitting up. My neighbor bought a new one because he couldn't get it working, so he came by and said he would give it to me if I wanted to try to get it fixed. Free lawn mower that runs but has a belt/pulley issue? Yes, Thanks. After a couple of belts and some thinking, she is cutting like a new one. She can be a little touchy at times, but once you know what she likes, she does fine. Saved me about $2000 because I needed a new one anyway.

Morning all. Had a good weekend, bagged Casey Peak Saturday morning, ~ 13 miles w/ 3500' of gain. Ankle felt pretty good Sunday so got in easy 5-ish miles, ankle is a little sore, but think I'm on the mend finally 

bike to work, strength training this evening

qotd: just finished up the latest season of Peaky Blinders- excellent, but am in withdrawal now 

  AT-- thanks for the advice. The results were inconclusive so I think the diagnosis is 'impatient hypochondriac'. Anyone else here with that problem?

 

Maybe impatient, but doubtful on the hypochondriacal part.  I think runners listen to their bodies more, so know when things aren't working properly. So maybe  'obstinately impatient' is better. 

A nice 16 on the AT yesterday.  Only saw 3 thru hikers but I purposely started out super early and made sure if I was going to hit them, it was late in the run.  I don't like sneaking up on them.  I figure I am out there using their trail (kind of).

Then this morning, like 2am morning, I wake up feeling sick.  I actually made it to work but no run today.  I think I may have had some bad pizza.

QOTD: Nothing really...just counting down the days to vaca.

Have a great day!

I like your way of thinking.  Great way to describe runners.

Once again I'm really busy at work this week.  This is getting bad !!!

The PF is feeling much better, but I'm still resting it a bit.  I'm really trying to squelch that "impatient" thing you guys are talking about !!!!  LOL.  I'm going to give it a few more days before I run on it.  I'll do that f'ing stationary bike after work today.

Great job XT.

qotd:  We get international versions of CNN and the BBC here, but I go crazy watching them after a while.  They also show re-runs of the Big Bang Theory (in English with Korean sub-titles) so we've been watching that.  We also watch some stuff on Netflix, but nothing steady, just random stuff.
