Aches And Pains Forecast

While June and Vic are glued to the weather report, I'm not sure they are checking the aches and pains forecast . The forecast is for minimal aches and pains next Sunday (2 out of 10).

I think the forecast is wrong. My aches and pains index for next Sunday is very high. The high aches and pains will continue through next Monday with localized pain through the rest of the week.

Speaking of aches and pains, I can still feel my right achilles strain in spite of not running all week. I did get some swimming and spinning done on Tuesday and a nice strong workout today on the Nordic track. Perhaps all my walking around New Orleans was not ideal but it was fun. However, I did get a lot of rest while sitting at Pat O'Briens drinking hurricanes.

We'll test it out with a six miler tomorrow morning. Depending how it goes, I'll do a little more running this week or none at all.

I would be remiss in not wishing Happy Birthday to our blogfather, Jon. I'm sorry to have missed the celebration at RTW this morning. Welcome to the masters division Jon! Your birthday present is a membership in the Old Farts Running Club of Grand Rapids, MI. You have to fill out and send the membership form in and I'll spot you the $5.

As for what the actual weather will be next Sunday.......to quote another handsome, dashing hero.......Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. I'll be wearing 5791 at the start line.
