"Easy To Get"

But harder to get rid of.   Nausea that it!   Yesterday I did the biggest water slide with Colb and vowed never to do it again.

Today the 2 of them talked me into it.

I decided that I could handle it and resolved to relax and enjoy it.  I convinced myself that if I truly let my self go I would be okay....and it freaken worked!  Halfway down Kylie yelled "Grampa I'm scared".  As soon as we hit the bottom she yelled, "Grampa, I want to go again".  So we did, and believe it or not I was still okay.

Then they thought we should try something called the whooly mammoth which was clearly not near as challenging as they allowed even the smallest children on it.  The problem was that I spent the entire 30 seconds plummeting down this stupid thing facing backwards.....I almost puked in the water!

And now some hours later I am still trying to recover.  The things you do for the sake of your grandchildren and you wonder ....but then somehow it's all worth it!

We had fun!

I had a tentative kind of run this morning along the Niagara River.  I need to try to understand the pyhsiology of this phenomenon, that I experienced again today.  Some kind of a crash happens once I slow down for a few days.  Strange.  I'm not worried, just interested.

(run, 45 mins)
