12 hour cleaning fest yesterday.  Wow, is the house clean!  :o I'm still sick.  I have this awful cough.  I understand why coaches have coaches.  I don't, I use myself.   That being said, it's very difficult to be objective when it's your training plan.  So I really had to step back and say, "if I was my client, what would I tell me?"  I would say, "take another day off, until you're better, then, when you're ready to come back, take another day." Apparently, at this point, I think, it's safe to

is the first day of the rest of my life.  And I had a pretty good run considering I have been sick all week.  I ran at the back of  Twin Coves Park, so it felt really good to connect with God and enjoy all that has been put here on Earth for us TO TAKE CARE OF. That's right: We're supposed to take care of the Earth.  I believe the exact wording is, "we shall inherit the Earth".  So what the heck are we doing?  Why are we destroying it?   I had

And I'm going to bed. :o

What I've learned today, I learned don't detox for two days from Benzene, Dimethyl Disulphide, Carbon Trisulphide and all the Benzene Pre and Post derivatives .  My brain was on fire, and I vomited 5 times.  And I had to sit down for almost 30 minutes.  Not something I can do on a school day, or any day really.  I may try it again, to isolate the cold from the detox.  That's what scientist do.  Scientists deduct through isolating certain situations to figure out the cause or outcome.  I am

It takes me a day or so to get it together after a big long run like Sunday.  It's not quite the same as biking, or at least not yet.  It seems to take a little more time, maybe it's the Sunday night soccer practice, it's just tougher to get the energy to put something down.  I feel, like I have to "soak" it all in.  I hired the babysitter, started at 7 AM I ran my back pack up to my favorite fire hydrant, ran Rolling Acres, and then,

I've been A symptomatic at my house. Saturday at www.runnersusan's.com before my bike ride I did have mild symptoms of headache and nausea. Sunday at another friends, up near Indian Trail, I had severe nausea(totally thought I was going to barf, almost excused myself and asked for a bucket), and a mild headache while on her front porch.  This one, while we were hanging out, actually went away, after the breeze picked up. Next item of business:  And this is most important; cappuccino before or after run?!?

For 6 days!!  I have not had a gas related symptom since Thursday 9.2.2010 (driving by the rigs on the way to swimming at Hawk Rd)  I have been symptom free since Thursday! What's different??? They're pretty much done at the Blessing Well, the wind has been blowing the right direction.  Saturday they took down the Red Oak well, more on this later. Who the heck cares, no headaches, no nausea, yea, yea, yea, no metallic taste in my mouth, my sense of smell is back for the first time all summer! All summer

Wow, I've been MIA, I've been mustering the strength to update my blog. Today, Monday, Labor Day, I coached spin.  I felt pretty good, so did the workout, I was actually surprised by the amount of strength that I had.  But then, I was toast ALL day.  Then, again, I needed that, by that I mean laying around being lazy, or as I like to say, "ride the couch". Yesterday was a big day.  A really big day. My total time was 2:52.  My day was supposed to be 2:45 time equivilant to

and what a totally blissful 3500 yards in the pool.
