    What? Only 15 new posts since I checked in yesterday? This heat must have everyone slacking. Only kidding. You guys are rocking it as usual.

    Got out this morning because today is supposed to be full of severe thunderstorms. It was like running through pea soup. That, couples with tired legs and a sore toe, made for a slow go, but at least it's done. If the weather holds out, this evening I am going to take the puppy for a long walk and then another run. Last night's run had moments of brilliance speckled with moments of "Ok, are you just trying to make me look like a fool???" We are getting there though.

    @Stoshew71 Glad to see you've upped yourself to a 250 standard instead of just blowing past 200 like you usually do :p

    Yeah, except I will be close since I have a race next Saturday and trying to figure on how to taper and still make 250. I hate it when races don't fit into your normal cutback schedule. Missed it by a week this time around.

    Checking in. Having a lot of trouble with depression in addition to the sore knees. I have been taking it easy this week so far, as I just haven't had much energy. Depression sucks.

    @_nikkiwolf_ hey, just one eclair? I'd have one box, but that's probably why I'm on MFP running my busted kitten off.


    Thanks for all the well wishes! @kimlight2 , @cljoe7, @skippygirlsmom @ddmom0811 ! And everyone.

    @ceciliaslater glad recovery not been terrible! I'm assuming mine will be awful. Hoping I'll be surprised. I'll be in some CPM machine 4 hours a day, and a cooler strapped to my hip... and crutches ... could be insufferable.


    @greenolivetree I plan on milking it. Told work I'd be out two weeks. It looks like I'll be 6+.since they likely won't let me back on crutches.. Heheeh. :naughty: Coworkers are already seemingly irritated that they have to cover my weekends. :tongue:


    Did y'all notice the @ suggestions are back? 'bout time!

    @Elise4270 It was a rather large one! But you are right, one isn't enough in the long run. Look what I had for desert after lunch today o:)

    Well, snookers. I am behind by almost 150 posts. I want to get caught up with you all but probably won't post since I only have about 15 minutes before I'm out the door again.

    Yesterday was strength training--including an actual, literal, 1 million squats. Ok. Not literal. But ow. And 2.5 miles on the dreadmill. Today was just a sloggy humid slog late in the morning for 3 miles at the rail trail. I'm hoping to get out considerably earlier tomorrow for a 7 mile long run.
