*is frustrated*

All indicators were green, systems were a go, it promised to be a smooth and successful operation. Suddenly a red light started blinking. Power wasn't getting to the engines. Mission aborted.

In other words, the run was unexpectedly crappy today. I had to really push myself just to make two miles and I wasn't able to pick up and run again after my normal tenth of a mile walk. The suckitude was enormous and now I'm feeling cranky about every little thing that hasn't gone right in the past week. It's a great way to start the day.

I'm sorry it was a bad running day. Unfortunately, those seem to happen. I had a really bad day the day before Thanksgiving (and then I was sick for a week - uh, hope that isn't what caused your slow down!) I'm sending fleet-footed thoughts your way!

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm pretty sure the slow-down was caused by a soreness in my hip/groin area - it felt like something was misaligned somehow, leading to a little discomfort and some extra energy being required for the same amount of work. It's been bugging me for about a week, off and on.

Know a good chiropractor? I've found one leg is shorter than the other when I'm out of adjustment. Weird, eh?

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

The human body is just weird. I'm trying to stay away from doctors/chiropractors/etc. because I've no health insurance or money, so I'll have to let this work itself out naturally. I think it's mostly just something got pulled a little bit and needs to heal. If I could remember to ice it and take advil that would happen faster, probably.

Sorry you're not 100%. Hope the suckitude evaporates, leaving behind a fresh, clean, happy day!
=D

There's always Thursday. I'm hoping whatever is wrong in my leg will feel better by then. I've had this discomfort many times before but it never stuck around so long before. One of the many perks of aging, I suppose. :(

sorry about that Meesh...hope your up and running again soon.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm pretty determined to not let these little things get in the way, but sometimes they just wear me down a bit.

*hugs*

I'm sorry the run was a bust. I hope your day improves!

I have a feeling things will start getting better somewhere around six-thirty (right around the time I get home from work, lol).

while sitting in one of the interminable meetings that occurs after a premature engine shutdown, thoughts tend to drift to more pressing matters... like "how will I get work done while I am listening to yet another review board indicating that it's not their fault the engine scrammed"... and then in the midst of preparing to immolate myself in protest of boredom... "why a red light exactly? why not some other color?"

lack of imagination? red glass was the cheapest, and started a trend? fire is bad, and fires are red? but what of keeping warm, isn't fire good sometimes? why green and not blue? why yellow and not brown as a warning? at least you know when something is about to hit the fan that way...

'Mr. Dent, what do you find so amusing about Premature Engine Shutdown, that you need to laugh about it in committee?'

"oops, yellow is the new brown, warning..."

...don't make me tickle you, crankypants... :devil: take a bath, you'll feel better.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

I wasn't able to take a bath last night, and my leg is still sore, but I'm all done being a crankypants.

Apparently it's just Earth that uses red as a sign of danger. The rest of the universe uses mauve. We're backwards, we are.

aw, I used to hate it when that happened.

Can't run anymore, the knees are shot. I need to force myself out the door with the Giant Schnauzer, though. I need the walks more than she does.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

There are days when it feels like just about every part of me is shot. I'm hoping this fixes itself up quickly, however, because I'm not keen on another six month hiatus in my running.

p.s.

Could you be fighting a bug? Good idea to up your intake of vitamin C and garlic.

Re: p.s.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

It's always possible. I've been having sinus headaches and a little bit of stuffiness for weeks, now. And I work with babies so I'm always being exposed to something or other. But mostly, I'm just not in good shape - I only run twice a week and Tuesdays are often bad because I haven't run in days and I feel all loggy and tired.

[feaxede-steorra.livejournal.com]

How annoying. I hope next run will go better.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

I hope so, too. I was supposed to run again on Thursday but that got cancelled for reasons out of my control, so it will be a full week before I get back to the gym. On the plus side, my leg is feeling lots better, so it's probably a good thing, even though I don't necessarily like to take a break. :)
