    In that case you will need extensive PT - which will have to be done on an exotic island with special healing spas

    The knee feel slightly better this morning. Very little discernable swelling before i walked to pp and get coffee. My knee looks slightly like a Brachiosaurus's head after being up on ot again.

    My weekend is shot now. No run/ride. No bbq lunch. Man i want bbq. What if i just go run/walk/ride anyway? Hmmm... LOL! Guess my taper starts today.

    My house is dirty. The electric dog fence needs fixed (somewhere) and laundry needs to be done. I have nothing to binge watch... Suggestions? I like funny stupid, or medical education type stuff. Might just purchase season 9 of parts unknown. Then 10, and 11...

    GLOW season two is out! I haven’t watched it yet but I loved season one and have heard good things about S2.

    ETA: Hah, I just saw in the group thread that you’ve binged that already. Great minds...

    Well, the push from everyone didn't get me out in the heat yesterday but it did get me out of bed this morning!

    Today we had an air quality alert plus a heat warning, even early in the morning. Dewpoint was 79 and temp 98. Yucky! But we ran 5 miles anyway, half on roads and half on trails, plus three walking. There are about a billion butterflies on the Greenline! Running feels much better after you're done. Only problem is we finished too early so we have to hang about before we can go eat. I run for French fries and five guys doesn't open til eleven.

    Mmm. Fries with mayo?

    That's not a bad idea... I love me some ketchup, but I'm limited to about a tablespoon at a time due to the sugar in it.

    @skippygirlsmom way to go! And to Skip. Even injured she finds a way to pull it out. That's beast mode.
    @MobyCarp you did all the right things considering the conditions and your present status. Good race.
