Great 8+ mile hilly run, fresh mini-donuts (Anita made me!), afternoon of lunching and schlepping with mom, shopping, knitting. Long day. about 21 hours ago
Every year it gets harder for me to adjust to the Spring DST change. Even less sleep than usual last night. Nap at my desk this morning? 6 days ago
I wonder when called to answer a survey/poll if it's legit. If last one wasn't I just wasted 25 minutes and amused the surveyor. 6 days ago
@Toreano You've got 2 weeks before the race to RICE. Take care of yourself, good luck healing (and try bubble wrap next time)! 7 days ago
Lovely (cold) (slow) (hard) 15 mile run on the Lafayette-Moraga Trail. Waterfall still gushing, streams roaring. White water? Who knew? 7 days ago

This is much harder than I had thought. Well, that's false. It's exactly as hard as I'd thought. It's as tough as I'd feared, difficult as I'd imagined. And I have a pretty good imagination.

I thought I had the good escape of hiding out with the exercycle in the garage. When I got up this morning my knee was killing me; I guess my little workout the day before did a lot more harm than I'd thought. Crap, I can't even do some simple spinning. I had a little tension on the spin, emphasis on little,and I was out there less than an hour. I'll be making an appointment with the doctor as soon as I get home, this has been going on long enough. I've already decided that I won't be able to run Kaiser (again) and who knows when I'll be back running at all.

So that's the problem. I have no release, no escape, no activity, no endorphins flooding my bloodstream. I'm still trying my hardest to be sweet, helpful and a good caregiver. Everything against my natural personality. Heh. That's not true either. I keep repeating my mantra while I'm helping my mom: it's not about me.

Words to live by?
