There is a downside to scaling back on social media and pretty much 86'ing all news sites:  I miss any fun, funny or weird stories that I might expound upon here.

My 'nonsense' quotient for this blog is almost nil at this point. I'm a-gonna find a way to fix this.

It is easier to write about that stuff sometimes. 

Short of that...........

The image is of our leaf pick-up, which just happened yesterday! Well after my "melt down' last week. Maybe it was a "melt up".

I love that they didn't even bother to scrape them on one side of the street for collection - it was a free-for-all for the cars and school buses. 

I am hoping that the disappearance of piles will make dog walks quicker. Hounds just love love love all the smells they have. Shep had to make stops at each one - and then leave his own scent. Honestly, by pile 8 he was shooting blanks, but didn't seem to notice. 

And as you can see, snow has made it's appearance. 

We lucked out with slightly more than a dusting. 10 miles east of us got 24". 10 miles east of there is up in the 40" range. 

It's also cold. But it's not. Not really.  The mercury says 30-32, but it feels like single digits. It cuts me to my core. Morty says I feel it more since I'm not as fast as I was more lean.  There might be some truth to that. 

I ran on Thanksgiving, but don't really have plans to do it again just yet. PT has not cleared me - and I'm still waiting to get a gait analysis. I'd like to do that sooner than later, just so I can plan my 2025 race plans. In my grey matter, I have some of them mapped out, but training would start at the end of January. So......tick tick tick. 

PT is fine, but I am at a loss with some of it. I'm not sure how balancing on a foam bar and throwing a ball at a tilted trampoline and catching the ricocheting ball - 25 times! - and not falling off the foam bar is helping my stress fracture. 

Hopefully there is a method to their madness and not just keeping me busy and billing me for it. 

Ok. It's bed time.
