Headcold. Ben. Disney Shit.

RUN 8.4 miles in 1:20*
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5

*It depends on who you ask. I brought my phone to track for the Steps Challenge at work. The phone said 8.4 in 1:25. The Garmin said 8.3 in 1:20. I think the Garmin auto-pause works better, and I like the longer distance :)

Was a good run, even with the head cold. Another night of poor sleep. I woke up at least 6 times to blow out crap, and btw it's an amazing amount of crap! I was worried about running with it, I'd be stopping every half mile at the rate I was going after I got out of bed! So gross.

But to my surprise I only needed to stop once. and the only time I coughed was when I stopped! And the only reason I stopped was to take a picture of the BREATHE painted on the path in TGP. Been wanting that pict since I saw it weeks ago!

Felt good, no rib pain this run. I was more distracted with sore glutes and hammies from Monday's strength training! Listened to TJM interviewing the woman behind Vanessa Runs. Great stories!

Last night was a bad night. The evening to be specific. After dealing all day with the head cold, getting home cold and tired, I skipped my H D 3C habit goal and ate a random standing dinner while Blerching! Ugh. So I was sick to my stomach from that. Then I get an email about running friend BR - I ran by their house in the old neighborhood yesterday and contacted them - and learned he had Stave IV colon cancer!  Then I get a Disney email, that just tipped me over the edge and I mentally crumped. Well I was crumped anyway, sick to my stomach and unhappy.

I found a great quote from a new-to-me book called Hope For Flowers:
