Holiday Knockers (Page 16)

I must admit that I am sick. 

Some sort of throat/ear/voice thing.  Not particularly fun, but not terrible.  Unfortunately it has my airways so messed up that I cannot do any sort of cardio without major issues-and definitely no swimming.

I did have a lovely day though.  I hiked in a snow blanketed mountain with Maneesh and Dave, which included the brief exploration of a deep dark crevice near the top of the mountain.  I gave a little confused tree frog a lecture about sitting in the snow in the middle of a trail that dogs frequent.  The silly bright green guy was just hanging out in a blanket of white.  I also escorted him down the mountain a little ways to where there was plenty of decomposing logs, ferns, salal, and moss.

After the hike, we visited a local Irish pub.  You can check my log for a few more details.

Nothing done today that pertains to this challenge but tomorrow will be another story...

Melissa, I hope you feel better soon!

Glad you had a beautiful day and I certainly hope you feel all better soon!

Here's to a more productive challenge day tomorrow for both of us

I should run a six-miler but we'll see what actually happens. I will run a bit, though.

I'm feel about 2x as yucky, but it generally does get worse before it gets better.

At the same time I feel surprisingly good.  It is amazing what a difference there is between being sick with a bad headache and being sick with only a mild headache.  No migraines for me. 

Unfortunately there is not going to be any running, biking, or swimming in the next few days.

HI MELISSA! gentle {{melon press}}

Hope you start feeling better soon.

I feel bad for my new roommate-he gets to hear all my hacking (and all the other nasty sounds that can be attributed to upper respiratory congestion).

He has been very sweet though-he made me some tea and periodically he was checking in on me. 

Sounds like a good roommate. Glad you are in a good living situation. And poor thing--you're the sick one.

Me too.  

I never got around to resending the note I deleted.  A quick summary...

You look absolutely radiant in the Santa pic.  You're emanating warmth and joy. 

Stay happy.   

But I am not nearly as ill as I sound.   

and on that note I bid you good night.

MWAH and a nice warm {{{MelonPress}}}

(did you know it is only 24 degrees here?  But hey, it is going to be sunny and 22 in the morning.) 

Great effort for week two.

It doesn't count for challenge points but I had a great swim this morning!

Nice job on the swim.  I really need to get out and swim.  I have been slacking on everything but mostly swimming.

Happy Monday Morning teamies..

You all that are sick.  get better ASAP. This is NOT the time of year to be sick.

{{{KNOCK, KNOCK}}}

 What's up??? Keeping up with the strength training which should be easier to do now that the semester is over

I'll chase it for ya!!!  Nothing like a big dog on your azz to get ya goin'!!!
