Been fighting a cold this week. Yesterday was miserable, so I left work early and skipped my run. Today was better so I ran. I realized once I started that it was probably not a great idea to run in the rain when I'm sick but it was too late to turn back. I tired pretty quickly, but overall it was a relaxing run.

Dan Hope you feel better!

Steady rain throughout my run this morning. I finished up right before the lightening started. Not really sure about my mileage. I kept stopping my Garmin when I thought I was starting it. It wouldn't light up either, so couldn't see what I was doing. Doh!

I don't even recognize my legs anymore. So much time hobbling on a wounded knee leaving imposters where giants once stood.
So walking it must be. Hips underneath, shoulders up, jaw square. More than walking though. Core work, using abs and shoulders to maintain purpose. Same systems, different approach and pace.

getfuzzy I understand it. 2 is better than 0!

So glad I had time to wait for a break in the weather to head out. This run just felt so good. Storms started back up at mile 4.65. A little rain never hurt anyone. Soaked.

Really rough night for Molly, and all of her school. Not sure how life can seem so hopeless and not worth living at the age of 12. So so sad for this boy. So young. Spent much of last night trying to explain to my girl why things like this happen, when I don't even understand it myself. Lots of hugs.

Karla Wow, I had not heard anything about that, but sounds terribly sad. So sorry for Molly and all involved. 12, that is so young, heartbreaking.
- posted at 09:44:00 EDT

getfuzzy so sorry.... sometimes I forget that Molly is only 12. hugs.
- posted at 10:17:00 EDT

DD Oh my goodness. I hadn't heard that either. So very sad. Prayers to the family and classmates.
- posted at 11:36:00 EDT

carljsamuelson I think Myint posted something about this boy too; I can distinctly remember being that age, and the BS that can emerge from "friends" and enemies (and "enemies" too)... making you feel just... less than. Those thoughts and feelings, when left unnoticed/unchecked can lead to some very dark thoughts. Some get lucky, find an outlet... some, clearly, do not. :(
- posted at 01:31:00 EDT

carljsamuelson Social media makes those feelings manifest much quicker; Jimmy and I had a Super8 conversation all about this topic recently. It's terrifying and fascinating, at the same time.
- posted at 01:34:00 EDT

Linny So true, CJS. I hated that age so much. So sure that every eye is on every step I made; criticizing. I cannot imagine growing up with social media. I could hardly look in the mirror, let alone having to have my picture everywhere. So tough now.
- posted at 01:58:00 EDT

Linny I just wish someone would have told this poor boy that no matter how bad things seem now, it will ALWAYS get better. Tomorrow is always a new day. Just breaks my heart for him.
- posted at 01:59:00 EDT

BetzE I hadn't heard this story either. Just heartbreaking. Well said, Carl. I know Jimmy sees a lot of this stuff - so hard for everyone involved.

2 mile loop with Court and Steph. Another rainy 2ish miles with some easy but slippery hill repeats with Steph. Then one on the mill with squishy shoes just for good measure.

Update: Went to take the kids (mine and two neighbor kids) to school. Car wouldn't start. Run across to neighbors house to borrow her mini van. Reload kids. Off to school. Into the drop off loop but can't get the side door open. Neighbor's kid can't get the car door open. Teacher holding umbrella eventually gets door open. Reason number #83 why I can't get a mini van. ;)

Linny Fun morning!! Hope things turn the corner for you today. And I think my list is up to about 96 on the mini van issue. :)
