    I woke up in my recliner bed with both arms hurting. Crud. It feels like one step forward, two steps back. Maybe I've been overdoing it. I dunno.

    howdy

    So this is where everyone is!
    Good news is I had a new PR on my 1/2 Marathon this weekend (posted in Running discussion)
    Bad news..back at work. I would rather run a 1/2 marathon or a full marathon every day than work!
    Oh, but more good news: 4 day work week this week, 3 day work week next week, then another short week and I am off to Vegas.
    Yes, I can DO THIS!
    Oh, yeah...back to work....big sigh!

    yes a lot of us are at work. But that's better than unemployment.
    I don't think i'm going to be doing any bike commuting this week. Rain, fog and darkness in the morning. NAH. Meanwhile the intrepid Raleighdon just called me, halfway through his legends, superstitions and ruins bike ride in Arizona.

    he just called, he's got 10 miles to go, he's no longer in the wild desert. I think he's going to make it.
    and he says it's not dark yet?! It's almost dark here and it's an hour earlier.

    Kgirl he finished in about 10 hours. He managed not to get too dehydrated, but he fought horrible headwinds (Ya think?) and at the end of the ride he left his brevet card and 10 dollars on a bench. of course someone took them. So he can't get "credit" for the ride with the Randonneurs.
    no i can't explain it.
    he spent over an hour hunting for the card. Then he had to drive another hour and a half to get back to where he is staying. It made him rethink his notion
    of climbing mt lemmon tomorrow.

    and hey, i see sunshine in Seattle!

    You're supposed to have the card as your "offical" proof.
    Biciclista, does he still have the reciepts(assumimng they used reciepts for controls) and will the organizer accept them?

    i don't think I'm getting anywhere on the PT front, either.

    In other news, I put a lawyer on retainer yesterday. Let the games begin!

    Just got back from my walk - I'm not sure how far I went, maybe a little over a mile. I walked to my acupuncturist's office for a visit, then came home.

    Adults look sideways at me in my collar, little children run up and say hi and start talking. I love little children.

    My gait is reminiscent of Frankenstein but he's much more graceful.

    He was supposed to have a quit claim deed to sign in September. I tried to be nice but I'm tired of living like a squatter on these cement floors and putting up with leaky windows. What he did with the insurance money from the flood I don't know.

    I just got fed up (and I have the money to pay a lawyer now )
