Packing up Christmas

The first of 2015 is wet. I spent a part of this morning pulling the boxes for our Christmas decorations out and packing away some of them. Bev and the boys pulled the rest and we got the boxes ready for the garage. They are now all snuggled up in the storage area to wait for another Christmas season. Next year, I think the plan is to have our traditional Christmas decorations instead of the crocheted ones.

Rain and cold is keeping me from doing my exercise. That and the minor illness that snuck up on me. I felt nauseous and a little achy for a few days. At the same time I had a stuffy ear which made me think I had a sinus/ear infection. After a few days, it was clear that I just had a wax build up. After 2 days worth of Debrox, it is cleared up.

David is coasting his bike for me. He is just a tad away from being able to ride. If the rain breaks tonight, I'll get him coasting again tomorrow. Maybe I can coax him into pedaling a bit and perhaps he will take off riding.

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit.  I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. 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

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.
