    I have my heart catheterization today. It's scheduled for noon. I'm getting a tad bit nervous. I know it will be okay, but I'm used to being the caregiver, not the patient. I'll check back in when I can.

    Thinking of you and sending all the good vibes. I'm sure you are in great hands and you can let yourself be taken care of for a change. Strength and calm thoughts!

    Thinking of you. It will all be okay. You are in capable hands. Try to relax, which is easier said than done, I know.

    Forgot to say:
    October miles: 41.5
    Space Race: 230.32 (just 18.18 to go!)

    Also, was driving back from the tournament and noticed they've put a 3.7 mile paved path along Lake Guntersville. Would love to run along that stretch of water!

    Whew, Okay - good morning, all!

    I just have a couple of additions to make and I believe I will have captured everyone that emailed me or pm'd me. I know of two additions I need to make which will bring the total to 28 - sound right?

    I'm just about to send the last sheet over. I saw where I was typing too fast last week: My actual email:

    camara.mandy@gmail.com

    If that doesn't work, PM me

    Or text me! But PM me first before i post my phone number here, rotfl.

    Ran 20 miles almost all trails Saturday with a friend who had never run more than a half or something like that. Still love my friend, still don't love running with people.

    He'll drop off when the coach starts drilling me this week, I'm sure. Nick said running with me is like therapy for him, which is great, except I'm not really in the business of saving people and I worked really hard to not be codependent anymore. Plus, running is therapy for me. I'll get it worked out. First a soft no thank you. I'm sure he will respect that boundary.

    In any event. love ya bunches.

    @Tramboman - golf sounds like torture to me. ;)

    @polskagirl01 Potatoes is my official guess.

    @quilteryoyo thinking of you today!

    @polskagirl I agree with @Camaramandy648 looks like potatoes.

    @Teresa502 yay for shoes!

    @kristinajeang yay for rest days! Glad your run felt good.

    @WandaVaughn I love running by water, so calm and peaceful. Well unless you run by the sea on a stormy day lol. Congrats on first prize in the fishing!!

    Cross training day for me. Was on call last night so go into work at 1030am. Just waiting for the kids to go to school and I'll get on my bike. Already have a few YouTube videos lined up to watch.

    Calf was niggly again last night. Same situation, fine at rest, a few niggles when I walk that quickly eases. It does seem to be getting better I guess, but alwaysakes me fearful.

    And I'm going to have to keep an eye out for a new pair of shoes. One pair is from January so with marathon training, they are probably on the way out. I wore them yesterday so wonder if they are contributing to niggles, since I wore a newer pair before that and was fine.

    Or its just the way injuries heal. You have good days and bad days lol.

    @polskagirl my guess is potatoes too...but why would they all be piled up in a field. Harvesting?
    @quilteryoyo thoughts and prayers with you today.

    Didn't do my normal Monday run today. Saw it was going to drop to the 50's tonight, and I am playing golf on Saturday, so I shifted my running schedule by a day this week. Maybe that will cure my streak of Monday running blahs.

    @polskagirl01 - Initially I was going to say potatoes too because we had piles of them like that in Idaho when I was a kid as well as sugar beets. But I am thinking turnips because the shape isn't really potato like?
