| | Today's run sucked so hard, I'm going to pimp it out and charge premium. It hit 93-94 during my last 3 miles and I was getting a big headache so I took it to 1min walk/1min run the rest of the way. If I took it any harder, I think I would have made myself nauseated, I felt a chill come on and that's usually the warning sign for me to hold back. It's my fault, I didn't get out at 6am like I planned. I didn't get out at 7am, either! Just super late.
Yesterday, I got my 1 mile run and an open swim at Deam's Lake. My tongue and lips got a little numb from spitting out so much lake water. I saw FISH! I grazed a fish in a shallow section where I had to pull my stroke up or I'd scoop up sand with my hands. I have no idea how far I got but the water was bathtub warm. I hate that. I like the water cool, keeps me focused.
I also gave Kiddo's Volvo away yesterday. One of the women who was in my Tai Chi group has just had a string of bad juju. Her cancer's in remission but she lost her job, her husband got laid off and is working temp, neither could get health insurance then an uninsured driver sideswiped her car. I got one of the relays fixed and balanced the tires before I gave it to her. The mechanic said it should last a good year or two more. Things will hopefully move in a good direction, her husband will get his teaching license in Indiana soon and even though her son had to be pulled out of college due to lack of funds, he's landed a good job that will help them get by. And through all this, she's kept the Tai Chi group going. She's hoping with me getting a new job, I'll be able to get back into the group. I hope so, too. Good thoughts to her. She is mighty strong but she can certainly have more things happen in her favor.
