Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

I took my doggie out for a walk today.  I intended to do 3 miles but the weather decided to change as I was a mile away from home and Rui did not like how wet we were and the loud thunder.  So I ended up with a nice walk of 2.3 miles.  It felt great and there were only TWO potty stops and they were NOT mine!  Luckily I had 2 doggie bags with me to take care of his business. 

I'm sorry to any of you who are still feeling miserable at the moment.  I am very thrilled to be feeling quite well!  I am mostly just very, very happy I am not dealing with ITB issues at the moment as I have on my past 2 marathons.

We spaced out and didn't get on for the Runner's Series sign ups this morning.  But we have been thinking how fun it would be to be a volunteer for the marathon.  So if we don't get in for the lottery for next year we will do TOU and volunteer at SGM. 

So it's been one week since that fun day in St. George running 26.2 miles!  I have been enjoying going over it in my mind this past week!  It is an absolute joy to have done that and felt so good throughout the run and through this week!  Today was my first run since then.  I have gone out and done some walking but I didn't want to go out and do something dumb even though I was feeling good but am probably still in a weakened condition.  So this morning after Tom got  6 miles in he came back and got me.  We tried out some new city trail that we've been waiting to see completed.  It only has about a 2 mile stretch added in, but it was fun to see new things.  He jumped back in the truck after 4, (10 to him) and I continued on to home.  I ended up with 5 miles running and 1 mile walk.  I felt a bit in my right ham and quad areas when I tried to go close to 9s so I kept it more around 9:40.

Yesterday morning when Tom went out he was hit by a biker!  It was pitch dark out down in the river bottoms.  Tom had a reflective vest on but the biker didn't have a light at all on!  How do you dare ride a bike in the dark without a light?!  Anyway, they saw each other just in time for the biker to apply some brakes and they both swerved....unfortunaltely they both swerved the same direction.  But the biker had slowed enough that it didn't hit Tom head on.  Tom's hand hit the handlebars and the tire hit his leg but he stayed standing as he turned and watched the biker go down.  Luckily they both made it through ok.
