Insert Your Title Here (nothing clever came to me)

It is funny. I got a lot of comments on yesterday's post from various people. Only L came through the most convenient route. I guess there ARE a lot of cat people in my life.

If you have ever been a runner, you know that the mind can/needs to/does think up some crazy stuff as the miles pass. Runs are a good time to try out ideas and think things through. I call it the mental gymnasium. Sometimes it's great and you get new energy and direction. Sometimes it isn't and you kind of have a Forrest Gump moment and feel like just stopping.

I didn't think a lot today, partly because it was rainy and crappy. I was worried I might Gump on the back part of the run. I didn't though.

I have been hearing a lot of this lately "Make sure you don't overdo it." I DO appreciate the concern and even the acknowledgement that I am doing something, but to my ears that sounds a lot like "It is okay to do less, it is okay to not get it done." I really don't want a cushion to soften the fall. I work best without the net, thank you.

Bricked again, 18 mtn bike (rain) ===> 6 running

if you're not injured, you're not overdoing it

Not a bad slogan for a runner t-shirt, along with "gaunt is beautiful".
