Couple of days later I was in PA and got drenched in a massive t-storm, almost lost again.

I’d say we were up bright and early on Saturday morning, but, while it was early (6 am), it was anything but bright. That big nasty storm that gave MeganKate and stewmanji snow, and popped tornadoes through OK and other states, crept up on Ontario while we were sleeping and it was pouring rain in Niagara Falls. Glad I was driving and not running. We drove past the river above the falls for a bit – icebergs! OMG, I don’t think I’ve seen anything that looked so cold before in my life. It took us most of the day to get to Boston, but once we reached the front end of the rain, it wasn’t a bad

Yep. From last year's Loop virtual covid half marathon. Had to make a couple of mid-race course adjustments that day.

Except it changes every day!

No running this week. Went down to Ford Field for my second covid shot. More people than the last time I was there, but still a very smooth operation and next to no waiting. There's one spot where the new tile didn't quite lock into place properly. The guys are supposed to come this week to look at it and hopefully fix it. There are a couple of other places where if I walk around barefoot I can feel my bargain basement underlay, but I'm going to let that go. I've repaired the places in the kitchen where the half wall used to be. Those are ready for paint. Major focus

Unless you count the fact that my Achilles is still being a butthead. I was going to give it some time before I escalated treatment, but as I was sitting at my office desk (dining room table) a couple of days ago, I noticed that It would give me a tweak almost every time I moved it. Not a ton, but not great and it hasn't gotten any better in the 3 weeks since I came up lame. So I pulled out the walking cast I used in 2006 for my ruptured PF and strapped it on. I'm going to use it all day until I can touch the back of my ankle without feeling pain. Then I'll try running again. And hope I don't

Shot put?

Then I'll write about something else. (let me know if you can see the pics now) Went for my annual physical last Friday. As usual, it was a ho hum affair. Fortunately, because of covid (I think) there was no rectal prostate exam. And since I'm still active for a guy "my age", the fact that I'm not on any medications, my blood pressure and HR are optimal, and my cholesterol and other heart disease indicators are excellent, he didn't have much to say. Until the blood test results came back. The last couple of years my blood sugar numbers have been slowly rising. This time I finally hit

So OSOM for you! I'm still dreaming myself, but really happy for you.

You are really running well. Time off from lots of racing has been good for you.

I could stand to lose 10, plus there's this other thing, which I'm actually in the middle of writing about.

Is there where I say how happy I'd feel if I were nearing my 40s?😘

So these are the shenanigans you were bragging about. I know a girls' got to keep herself busy, but damn!

Do we have to wear masks?

Hearing from KRG should inspire all of us. Seriously, no car until now? I heard that about NYers, but didn't really believe it. You know, how some people don't believe covid isn't a real disease? Like that.
