Resolve...

I really think I finally turned the corner on my sickness that began 2 weeks ago with stopped up ears and crescendoed with the double whammy then finished up with pneumonia. My strength is a little better and I can see enough strength that I should be able to get back on my bike this week. But the weather calls for cold. Tomorrow, we go see the TSO show for New Year's. That should be great. Glad I'm feeling better for it.

It is the time for Resolutions. I made some for last year that I didn't get to do. I had intended to do a week long backpack trip that fell through with my friends. This year I may have to schedule it for myself. I did accomplish a lot of reading that I resolved to do. Some of those books were pretty heavy reading. This year I am leaning toward learning music.

Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

By
So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
