It's finally perfect running weather

[hannahb]

And I've got the damn stomach virus! Any other gripes out there?

[libbygrl109]

There's still snow on the ground and my allergies are out of control.

[derbycitycook]

DS wouldn't sleep until 4:30 this morning. DH and I are exhausted.

[cinco]

Oh no! Feel better soon.

Me too! I got a half mile into my run and had to turn around and run home. Ugh. I hope you feel better soon.

Oh no, it's spreading via the interwebs! I hope you feel better too.

[clseale]

No, no, no, nooooo!! This is the same time I got that damn thing last year. The family we got it from is knocked down with it again. Ugh. It's the worst. Feel better, girls!

Hope you feel better soon too! The worst was yesterday. I'm still queasy and feel like I've gotten hit by a truck but I think it's turning around.

Its gorgeous here too and I'm working until 6pm.

I'm so irritated with my gym. They keep cutting open hours and classes because they don't want to raise dues again. Well gee, that makes me really want to keep being a member when everything is geared to the non-working crowd. Only reason we have been sticking it out is for the swimming lessons, which have sucked lately. This current session, the instructors are never ready, start class ten minutes late and then still end it early. It's a freaking 30 minute class!

[skwcm80]

I was supposed to head to gym before I had to take dd to dance class. That is until I discovered ds have puked in his crib. He rallied in time for dd's class but not for my run.

The line at mcdonalds this morning was so long that I watched them change the menu from breakfast to lunch while I was waiting to order my mcmuffin. I had to get a mcdouble instead.

[thom]

Sorry to hear all the woes ladies.

I'm worried this will happen to me too (getting sick) now that weather is a little better. I woke up with a sore throat this morning, so I'm hydrating like crazy & debating whether to run tomorrow. I still ran 10 this morning in about 5 degrees, so I hope that wasn't a bad idea...

[shellfish26]

I am now on my THIRD cold since October, and this one is the one that did me in. I rarely take medicine and generally won't see a doctor, but I went to Urgent Care today. Sinus and ear infections. This needs to go away, as I am 3 weeks out from my half. I was supposed to meet my neighbor tomorrow at 6:30 am to run the half course (haha, his idea. Not mine. Especially considering the time change.), but I think I need to cancel.

[taratru]

Oh, no! I'm sorry everyone.

[labbie]

It was 45 and sunny yesterday while I was cooped up in work. Today/tomorrow- back to the 30s-40s and gloomy. Some sun would be nice.

[emjacobs]

It's been beautiful the last few days but I got my IUD put in on Wednesday and I've had horrible cramps and .... discharge and haven't been comfortable enough to go run. I'm trying for several miles tomorrow.

[shorewife]

Yep perfect running weather here too and I have a cold so I still had a crappy run. ?

[runblondie26]

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that hannahb.

Does your DS have it too? Ugh, the first year my oldest was in daycare was the worst for stuff like that. I still shudder thinking about it. But she rarely gets sick now.

I hope it wears off soon. Stay tough!

I hear that copious alcohol works wonders for this. I haven't had one but I'm hoping to switch to one soon.

[Brit]

It was 81* and 78% humidity when I ran tonight. In the dark. Blech.

And the pukey sickness is at my house too. DD got sent home sick today. I hope I don't get it too.

I don't drink much but I'm considering it, overall I feel better mood and attitude wise I'm just dealing with lady issues that I've been told can last a month or so.  Honestly it's worth it to get rid of the hormones and not worry about BC for up to 10 years.

He was the one that started it! I normally try and be green with my cleaning products but today I brought out the bleach!

I can't find my swimsuit. I will be damned if I miss another workout for something like a fucking misplaced swimsuit. I am not overexaggerating when I say that all of these things are compounding and I feel like I am on the verge of a mental place that I've never been before.

[gummybear]

I had the stomach bug this week too. I am still a little icky but about 85%. I hope you feel better soon

My complaint is that I went to run the loop around the lake today because it was so nice and pretty much all hard surfaces are snow free. Surely the path would be. NOPE. 6 miles through thawed snow and muck, sloppy slush, water and ice. The snow pack was 6 inches plus of loose, icy snow in some places. My feet were drenched and it was like running through cement. But I finished.

Hugs Kams. You have been having a rough time lately. I hope things start turning around soon.

I'm sorry everybody's feeling sick!  Feel better soon.

My gripe is probably frivolous, but here we go.  This is how Calvin and I exercised this weekend:


It was an 11.6 mile snowshoe hike with over 3k feet in elevation gain.  (I submit that I earned the mint milkshake I got on the way home.)

First of all, we had blue sky in the morning, but just as we gained elevation and got to the summits (we did 2), the clouds rolled in.  We got NO VIEWS.  Literally gray oblivion as you look off the ridge.  It was a lot of work to see nothing.

Second… I'M SITTING ON LIKE 5 OR 6 FEET OF SNOW. It's March, I'm so freaking over winter, I want it to melt and go away. I can't with it anymore.  I want it to get above freezing and stay there.
