BT Blogger

Feeling very wintery out. Not sure why that is a surprise but it is. I had to scrape the windshield a bit this morning before heading off to the office. 
Had nice run this morning with Amy just a nice loop and nothing too strenuous. 
Keeping up my step streak too - i should get to day 235 today - that's 10,000 steps a day for 235 days!!!

Why does still logging here every day feel a lot like playing music as the Titanic goes down?? I saved all my logs to html yesterday (genius suggestion!), and have them in excel as well. I didn't read them all as I saved them, but glanced here and there as I navigated through the years and it's wild to see my life go from me being a 20-something engineer, to having kids and quitting my job to become an artist, to Nate quitting his to start his business, to us moving to the mountains, to current day. Sad to see this place go.
Recovery, Day 30. Drove Owen to and from school yesterday, AND stopped at the bank to run an errand. I feel so independent! Drove him to school this morning, and got myself to and from PT by myself as well. I feel human again now that I can manage getting in and out of the house by myself. Of course, it's supposed to snow a foot tonight so getting around with crutches is going to get squirrely very quickly here. I was concerned about our drought, but have to ad[...]

Chris is out of town and I am at home alone to fend for myself. LOL. 
WFH today. Probably going to work late. WFH again tomorrow because I have my annual check up and wall to wall conferences and calls. I feel like I am in a race, slogging through thick viscous goo. Having a terrible time trying to get caught up and get these ducks in a row. Has anyone seen my ducks?

We got a nice icing of snow last night everything is fluffy and bright. I am WFH here with Bingo. 
Feeling good about going out after dinner last night to pick up some gifts for niece and nephews and pick up a group teacher gift. Need to get a few things done this week, during the week even though i find it tough to have any energy in the evenings. Especially now when it feels like midnight at 5pm.
As with yesterday's musings I am feeling sad about BT ending and then I got an email that Another Mother Runner is winding down too. That is a podcast and group I've following for about 10 years. I've listened every week, i've bought their training plans. It just too sad. I guess it's just the nature of things. How long is it supposed to last? I don't know.

6:17am: I've started the process of leaving BT and it's making me sad. Just saying. 
Also - in logs of yore, I oftentimes referred to people as "my running buddy" or "evil trainer dude" and all these years later, I don't actually remember who these people were. I'm sad that I didn't specify names and places and such so that I could easily put it all together.
Still, the person who recommended exporting to HTML is a genius. Yes, it takes SO MUCH LONGER than just exporting the stats to Excel (which, to be clear, has a purpose as well), but it's a great way to keep that stuff intact. I wish the Inspires were also collected in that, but alas, they are not. That would make it complete.
I'll keep posting this: if you are interested in a BT Afterlife -- an attempt to reincarnate the social aspects of BT, not the workout stats -- I've created a Facebook group just to keep people in the loop of my shenanigans. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1371202171040374

Mayyyyyyybe a trainer ride tonight, depending on how I feel. I have been hobbled with muscle soreness every morning getting up and out of bed. Sheesh. 
I am so sad this is the end of BT. I have downloaded my blogs through 2009. Still have 2008 through 2003 to go. If I have your phone number and you pop up in my blog, I am taking it upon myself to text you.  I have no idea where I will put my haphazard musings. For now, I guess I will hop over to the BT Afterlife FB group and see what's up over there.
