I was all excited expecting that someone was gonna tell me what their weekend plans were but alas, either no one cares, or no one reads this blog. Either way that's okay. I have much bigger "anticipation" worries. I am currently reading book 13 of the Wheel of Time fantasy series and I am almost done. There is one final "finale" book still to come, and apparently it is written but they intend on stretching out its release until later this year. Bastards! The series does have a very unique twist in that the author died part way through the writing of volume 12, and his widow chose another author to complete the series. Quite cool really.
I was also anticipating another 33 km run today but that got delayed as well. I did manage 30 but the last 6 was kinda ugly. Really crappy conditions again and it just kills you both mentally and physically. I hope I don't have to anticipate spring for too long but I am a bit worried that we still have to pay for what has been a very mild winter so far. Time will tell.
As of this very moment I am anticipating my second alcoholic beverage of the evening and a crawl into bed with the remaining 100 pages of "Towers of Midnight". Saturday night is usually the only night I allow any booze into my diet since I don't really worry much about my Sunday recovery day.
good night all
(run 30 kms, 2:38)

ReplyDeleteI didn't have any exciting news to report regarding weekend plans... because my weekend is consumed with my studying for my stats exam on Monday. Kind of a downer news report, so I withheld. But I did read your post and I do still read this blog!
ReplyDeleteThis next week will have a few warm days... high of 9 on Wednesday! So there should be some good days for running. I'm glad you allowed yourself a bit of alcohol for some weekend relaxation.
I'm habitually thinking of you and how you are doing! I worry/think of you just as I'm sure you do of me. I'm so grateful (and lucky) that you exercise so well and keep yourself in good shape. It allows me at least some comfort knowing that you are in good physical shape (even with the shitty after effects of cancer treatment). From my perspective, you are in good shape for your age and what you've had to go through. (Also, I recently read an article about a study that compared those who regularly trained, 4-5 times a week either running, swimming or cycling, with those who were sedentary, in terms of muscle retention/size and strength. It found that regular training wards off the muscle-wasting effects of aging that were generally perceived to be inevitable. It's not inevitable, it's just that prior studies only looked at sedentary subjects. It reminded me of you... and you do all three exercises training for your ironman.)

I don't officially have her direction, but Cory has been unable to post replies so I told her to send me stuff and I would post for her. She didn't send me anything yet, but I'm pretty sure she would want me to say that if your blog was not so boring lately, you would have more comments. Plus, you never respond back any more. Love, elly for Cory...sort of...
