<p>Good Morning, </p>
<p>Late start to my day.  But since it is raining and yucky out I will be skipping my run for the day.  I will be playing indoor soccer tonight though. </p>

<p>I was about to head out for a run but the rains started back up again.  So I am just going to bag it.</p>

<p>Good morning. Up early to hopefully sneak a run in and watch this week's Biggest Loser. My friend is coming over with her daughter for a play date this morning, so after running, i need to do a mad fast cleaning! Then off to work.</p>

<p>Good morning!  We got a couple of inches of snow, so the whole city is shut down.  School and daycare are closed, so I am trying to figure out who can keep my kids today, or if I need to bring them to court with me.  Maybe they could sit at the defense table and make it look my my clients have a big legal team.  </p>

<p>I wanted to go heavy on the barbell bench press; but since I had no spotter, I had to top out 2 sets/each 9 reps at 72 pounds.</p>

<p>Morning.  0 degs F - I slept in and skipped gym.  Bad me.</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>'morning!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nothing exciting to report here.</p>

<p>Good morning. 21 here this morning with a high of 42. We may see 50 on Saturday!! I would normally run at lunch time but my achilles tendon has decided to go on strike. So I'm off to the doc instead. I'm hoping to get a referral to a podiatrist as the physical therapy didn't fix it up.  I wonder some times at what point do I find something else for exercise? But I can't imagine not running either. It seems as if I'm good for 6 months and then break down.  Weird. Anyway, this too shall pass.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Porty - you are amazing, 72 pounds is rocking on a bench press! You must have guns of steel!!</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>we will see about 50 this weekend too! I got some of a run in, then Zoe said i was done. I just mad cleaned the house in preparation for our friends who are coming 5 minutes ago! LOL</p>

 

[wherestheportojohn]

<p>thnx shadow...I've been working at it a lot of years! Too bad that as I age, it is more difficult to maintain that strength [mush less *increase* it!]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>~*~*~*good luck with the achilles issue*~*~*~</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My PF has definitely become less of a problem; no, it isn't 'better' ....but is not as painful with all of the self-imposed stretching, icing, blah blah blah.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Woo! our friends just stopped by and hauled away</p>
<p>our Toshiba telly. They'll enjoy it, I'm sure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>meri,</p>
<p>I'm getting ready to do a whirlwind cleaning of the<br>
PortyHome. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!</p>

 

[Shadow38]

<p>Thanks Porty. I'm glad to hear your PF is better. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Doc said to give it a rest for two weeks, ice, ibuprofen and we'll see after that. I wonder how fast insanity will ensue?  <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">  Actually, I'm okay with it. He said we'll basically take it one step at a time until its better and I can run again. So that's good anyway. I don't have a night splint but taped it last night and it was a little better. My splint should be delivered tomorrow. Hopefully that will help the healing process too. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>I may have to give up my quest for more half marathons, but as long as I can still run, that's okay.</span></p>
