it’s my own damn fault

Okay, yesterday sucked as far as the ‘ouch’ factor.
Today is ridiculous. I got up this morning to make my coffee and my calves are not helping me even a little bit.
The coffee got made and I penguined my way back to the bedroom with my cup. After I drank that cup, I got up and walked the 17 steps to the coffee pot to refill it and realized I left my cup 17 steps away. I actually contemplated just getting a new cup because those 17 steps to get the cup and the 17 steps back to the kitchen just might kill me.

It didn’t, but OUCH.

I think I might be okay had I wore my Brooks, but because I wear Vibrams when I run, I just have to pay the price of sore calves when I push myself.

It’s worth it, but OUCH.

I’ve been watching the news non-stop to keep tabs on the Robber Fire. I know the area very well that it’s burning. That area is where I run on the weekends. As of last night it was a mile and a half from my favorite trail. The people that live there have been evacuated and my thoughts and prayers are with them. As of this morning it’s 50% contained.

Thank you, firefighters!!
