30F this morning. Still shorts weather. Longer socks & sleeves, but still shorts.

Heck yeah. I wear shorts no matter what. THE only exception seems to be if I need to protect from snow or ice scraping the skin. I swear, it's like the cold almost numbs the legs I to thinking they aren't working very hard. Of course, that's anecdotal

Growing up with it, this is hardly a warning shot. There will be days when it's another 30 colder. I do need to watch it at times as I can pick up some small scratches or other things that I won't feel on the run, but can burn like crazy later! Current runs aren't really too long, so not much risk of that yet.

You may want some kind of leg covering at times This is the result of taking an uncleared trail yesterday through the woods, 15 minutes with a tweezer from my aid kit in the van and I was good to go.

From the realm of completely useless info, my only brush with familial greatness can be found on Google today.

Stacey - I'm so sorry to hear about dear Elle.  Many big (((hugs))).

Robin - I've been concerned about you all weekend especially after seeing updates on The Weather Channel.  I'm sorry you had to evacuate but glad you and your family and animals are safe.

Chris - that's pretty cool to know you are related to him!

Karen - glad your friend is OK and finished successfully.  For sure I'd wonder, as you are, how much better her time could've possibly been had she not overloaded her race schedule.  Perhaps this might be an opportunity for her to reflect and introspect.

Oh Stacey I am so sorry. {{hugs}}

Robin I'm glad everyone got out safely. Hopefully you'll return to your home with all safe and sound soon.

So I've recently become a grandma-of-sorts. DS1 is seeing a girl who has a five year old daughter. They seem to be getting pretty serious and I've had the pleasure of buying toys for her to have at our house. Well Saturday was the first time I've had her without mom or DS1. We went to the local childrens/science museum with my brother and his kids. We had a blast and I am quickly falling for that little girl.  So this is a picture I took when she stuck her head in a mirror/prism thingy...

Big smile, she looks like a fun girl to be a grandma-of-sorts to!  I can see you lacing her up and taking her on trail adventures!

That's pretty cool -you're related??

I walk by the building every day where they keep his desk (I get off the subway stop by University of Toronto) 

x2 - sending hugs

Stacey - it's so hard to lose a family member like that. Anyone who thinks they are 'just a pet' clearly never had one. 

Robin - hope you can go home soon! safely of course!

Hey Manatees, I doing fine over here. Been quiet on the logs and such because life is just busy. We moved into our temporary rental at the beginning of the month, a few days sooner than expected since our water heater broke on November 2. What a stroke of luck that was - given our renovation we wouldn't want to have to replace it - so it's great that it broke down one day after our lease started on the rental. 

But moving is stressful. man, it stinks. And i realize now why it is so important to take the time to do spring/fall cleaning ... so much stuff over 5 years!! We haven't fully settled in. But we are finalizing details with the contractor and architect and should have a start date in the near future!!! 

Anyway, i finally made it to swimming last night and I am taking it easy. I stayed for just over 30 minutes. I don't need to overdo it. I made a pact with my hubby that i would make it to every to swim (Mon/Wed) until Christmas. I don't feel much like running so i am not. Thinking that some yoga and prenatal strength would be good to round out a reasonable exercise regimen. I am 17 weeks pregnant this week - and will have the ultrasound where you can find out the sex in two weeks but I am not going to. It's a fun thing to look forward to. 

The pre-race saga continues, sort of...

I tripped during my 4 mile run yesterday, on a SIDEWALK!!!  I got some road rash on my right hand, right elbow and right leg. I also have a pretty substantial bruise and some swelling on my elbow. I figured that was the extent of it but yesterday at work I developed a pain in my right shoulder and it was difficult to breathe deeply.  I hoped it was just a jammed shoulder and had an appointment anyway with my chiro.  I got there and he said everything was in place but the surrounding muscles were angry. So he did some ART and the normal adjustments and it felt better immediately. He asked me to stick around for a bit to make sure the feeling didn't come back, it didn't.

During the night I was pretty sore and felt it every time I rolled over. 

This morning I felt good, just still have the road rash and bruised/swollen elbow. But I'm not taking any chances. I cancelled my morning run and my trip to the dentist

Vaguely related way back when. You have to go back a few generations to get the US (my family) and Canadians to appear in the same room. We had run into them at Disney World aboot 20 years ago and they wanted nothing to do with us.   Smart move on their part.

I need to get up there at some point and see what there is to see.

Aw, I'm sorry Stacey.

Sidewalks are bad news, I tell ya!  Glad you are OK overall and that your ART/chiro guru got your shoulder happy again quickly.  Heal, heal, heal!  And be careful!

Sounds like you have a nice plan in place to stay appropriately active and happy during your pregnancy.  Good luck with the renovations and moving, and thanks for the reminder that it's good to unload 'stuff' periodically.  It can be tough sometimes.  Take care!
