<p>The day after being sick is like the day after a disaster... and that's how I feel every time, like there's stuff that has to be cleaned up and repaired. I've lost another day - but luckily family dinner was postponed. I figured and hoped, after realizing it wasn't a hangover - that it would be a 24 hour thing. 24 hours from when I stopped moving. So approximately 2000 this morning - I felt better. The final signal was that my head was no longer hurting. The pressure had been released.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Of course the first action I took was to weigh in... 176 lbs. My weight dropped 4 lbs. in 24 hours... because I'm nerdy about tracking my weight, I know this isn't normal. (The most I've dropped naturally is 3.2 lbs.)</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I was out of bed at 0400 because I just couldn't stay in bed anymore. It was a cold one so I waited until the temp hit the 50s before I hit the course. I completed the the two miles in 27 minutes. I had a strong start, but had to take a couple of breathers on the way back.. in the last quarter, (which is really the last eighth.) I think this is a good strategy... Go all out for the first mile - then - hum "<em>Don't Fear the Reaper</em>" (Blue Oyster Cult) as I make my way up the hill... and if I need to, walk a few yards.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>The next part of the day I played catch-up with the weekend's video clips and then went out to the YMCA for the usual Monday stuff. The class was good and I did manage some practice with what I call planges, but aren't '<em>actual</em>' planges. The way I see it, I need to get strong here before I can move on to actual planges.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>On another local note, the transit strike seems to be over... just in time for the elections. We wouldn't want SEPTA to be blamed for Trump's victory. (Ha ha ha.)</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>This blog seems to compress what seemed to me to be a long day. I won't bore you with the house work, chores and on-line classes. Tomorrow we go again... back to the gig and hopefully another run down the parkway. This was Day 40 Run #23 (57.5%).</p>
