"Now What?"

I'm really quite at a loss.  It was a confounding day.  I felt sure that I had brought the run portion of my run/walk to a level where 30 kms would be easy.  I set out today with a 3/2 strategy, effectively walking 40% of the time.  I felt sluggish as soon as I started, bur managed to get into a bit of  a groove eventually.  That lasted for a while but when I got to the mailbox just before 23 kms I was totally done.  I almost passed out at that point.

But.....

I ain't no quitter, so after a quick bathroom break I decided I was gonna finish the last 7 kms.  It took me over an hour, and was as painful as any 7 kms I have ever completed. I walked all but 5 mins of the distance!

I'm at a loss!

And frustrated!

I found distraction playing with my bike.

You see I had to replace this part.  I screwed up a dimension when I gave them my original specs.

That meant removing all these parts.

Which made it look pretty sad.

And although I ain't no bike mechanic, I do okay.  I got it all back together.



I also had a few distracting moments form the usual source.

"Damn that water's cold.  Maybe we'll just stick our heads in!"

 I think it's a genetic thing.

And if  miracles like these two can happen, who knows what else my future may hold.  Maybe one day I will even be able to run again.  Ya gotta believe!!

run/walk/drag my ass, 30 kms

...and this one's pretty good eh?...
