On NOT Running January 05 2009
So my big come back lasted what…6 weeks?
Yes, six weeks of pretty consistant running (couple with kind of consistant walking with Feffie at night)
Then the ice came…and with brought me…klutz of the century…iPod turned up REALLY loud, plodding down the side walk (drivers are too scary around here) having a lovely lovely run, until disaster struck at about 4.5 km. Just as I was taking a step I saw the side walk under the loose snow was sheer ice. But it was too late to stop the motion so by the time i put on the brakes i did a slow motion skid/slide/flop/fall. It was lovely.
Add to that the amount of noise I KNOW came from my head. I could hear my grunt loud and clear through screaming of my iPod.
God I’m gorgeous.
And since then NO RUNNING! Xmas time…yeah right…not only was there ice…but there was TOO MUCH SNOW that was not being cleared.
And now..that I totally feel like it’s time to get back out there…
I have a cough.
Courtesy of my husband.
Gee I’m so glad we’re no longer on the rocks. It’s nice that we are so close you can once again INFECT ME WITH YOUR GERMS!
So yesterday I went snowshoeing with noah. (heh) and we made it about 20 minutes into the bush we he declared we needed to turn around and immediately head home.
Why?
Because he was scared. Even after I assured him I would make sure he was safe, and that we weren;t doing anything dangerous.
Oh no….DADDY KEEPS ME SAFE! He keeps us ALL safe in the bush and everywhere.
IN THE BUSH! PAHLEASE the man had never even seen real bush till he met me…
um.
What I mean is…he had never seen WILDERNESS until he met me and I brought him here.
Anyway….
Can you believe that? I don’t know what to make of it really.
Tonight Feffie and I walked our 5k (almost 5k I guess) -11C but -19 with the windchill.
That my friends is fucking cold. Not soooo cold that you can’t keep warm but cold enough that i should not worn jeans. Duh.
And now my cough is really aggravated.
So I think I’ll go get Chris out of NOah’s bed and aggravate him with it.
Poor Noah. He probably saw you fall on a patch of ice and realized there was no way you could protect him from a bear. Its a sad day when our children realize our immortality is all just a charade.
And when the heck did Canadian women become so damn wimpy anyway?

Did ya get my love package yet?
