Don't give up on me. I'm still around and doing the things I love most in life.
It's been a bit busy and lazy, all at once. While my long runs have been minimized to short comfortable distances, my hip is recovering and feeling better and better. My swims are interesting. Recently, I joined a masters swim series; to which I've gone exactly once. It was shocking to go from swimming a twenty yard length to a fifty yard length. I learned about synchronizing laps with other swimmers, doing various drills, and got a lot of pointers on improving my technique.
We finally decided and purchased a birthday/anniversary getaway, though it won't be exactly on my birthday. I can deal. I'd sacrifice a lot to go to Croatia AND Paris! Dream trip, it involves planes, boats, trains, and snorkel gear. I feel like such a spoiled brat, but 40 only happens once, so I may as well celebrate.
We visited my Gram today. She is still doing poorly and called my aunt down from mammoth to be with her. Poor lady.

Stitches
Ive been strapped to my sewing machine, with a big project. Fortunately, I am able to work at home. It's nice to be home with the sun shining though the windows, and a cat lazily sharing my space. It's a load off to not be at my previous post, and I feel like I'm finally finding my feet again.
Chiropracty has helped immensely. So many of my muscles have been so tied up in knots, that when I ran, they wouldn't move--they just help tight. Since I started this, my hip rarely hurts, and my miles are easier. Lovely. Stretching properly--in the form of a lunge for some of it, has also been hugely beneficial.
Today, with perfect running weather and low temperatures, I felt like I could have run forever. I ran a solid five miles, then realized I had a lunch date and started my trip back. I got half way back and asked JE if he would mind picking me up during his lunch break, because I was still further out than I would have had time to run, and for the first time in a very long time, my side was stitched.
Perfect timing. I mean, perfect. I even got a shower at home before I left to meet her.
Fun luch, complete with dolphin (swimming out in the sea, not on my plate) at Las Brisas in Laguna beach.
When I was passing through Tomales Bay, on my bike tour, I saw a group of google mappers gathered at a pn oyster bar. They were smll cars with multi eyed cameras mounted on top, telescoping a dozen feet in the air. My sister sent me this link, yesterday.
