The Crud

I woke up this morning with what I call "The Crud": sore throat, clogged head, running nose. I punted on my run and stuck to a few other options. We walked the dogs a couple of miles, prepped our garden plot for the spring by turning the soil and adding dead leaves and cow manure and went in and cleaned the gym. That seemed like enough. The good news is that it was a smoke free day here... the first in a long time. Hopefully I will be feeling up for a Thanksgiving Day marathon training!!

Have a Great Day!!

Friday Rest Day, Saturday Weightlifting and Gardening?!

I enjoyed a very nice day away from exercise yesterday and today I went to the gym to lift. Once I got back from the gym we had a day off together with both humans and canines in the same place! Weird. We wrapped up the day with starting to prepare a garden plot for next spring. Tomorrow the cow manure goes down!! The big question is how to keep the dogs from rolling around in it?!
