Sunday, 8/19/12 to Saturday, 8/25/12

I ran 0 times this week, 0 miles. Yes, 0 miles because of my injured right achilles.

Sunday, 8/19/12: Rest day.

Christine had trouble sleeping and stayed up all night. I woke up at 8:45AM. I thought of the 91 runners who were down running the Dam Good 14 mile Trail Run, overall results here and age group results here. I was signed up but couldn't run it.

I was eager to try out my running ... when I went to get the paper I did a slow trot from street to street and then walked to the next street. Nothing too strenuous ... but nothing hurt which was a good thing.

Christine cooked up 2 racks of spare ribs ... which took all afternoon. We managed to spend our free tire in our usual lazy way ... sweet! The spare ribs were equally delicious and sweet! Mmm!!!

Monday, 8/20/12: Rest day.

I woke up and felt like crap. So ... today was the usual "Monday from hell" with 9179 steps ... Mondays usually are. I went home after work and just laid down. I did watch "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson. I figured that since we have had this NetFlix DVD for over a month that it was time to watch it ... lol!

Tuesday, 8/21/12  - Saturday, 9/25/12: Rest day after rest day.

More days of work followed by a day off. I walk a lot during work. Sometimes my right achilles aches ... sometimes it doesn't. When will I run again? I do know I am more ornery, more grouchy and not so pleasant company.  I thought about running on Saturday but just lazed around. I thought of everyone who ran their long runs ... and was envious.
