Yep sometimes you just have to go…so I did…

Hoped into my car…headed to the Edmonton River Valley and had a fantastic morning….

A 6.45K run……with a lot of stops along the way….and learned something

It’s getting close to an anniversary……

Yep, November 25th…when I fell, knocked myself out, and fractured my head….

yeah…I learned how important traction aids are…..and also, well, just how lucky I could be…

knocked mysefl out during a run on my lonesome…..this could have turned out so much worse…

I didn’t think about that when or after it happened…and until I had that CT scan….that made the difference…also when both my MD and my physio pointed out much worse this could ahve turned out…

For some reason I kept thinking about that today…….I do wear an ID wrist band now whenever I run…..I still don’t really tell anyone where I’ll be running or my route, because honestly, until I take those first few steps I don’t always know myself…

It was a good, slow, run…but felt again so good to get outside..and enjoy the sun..unlike that run way back when, just before Christmas 2019, just before everything shut down for COVID….and I think may be because when it happened, the weather had just turned bad, and this year…it’s warm, no snow, no ice….

After the run, I did make it into the Kinsmen Sport Centre for some strength training…..it felt weird. I haven’t been in that place, probably since 2019…..the crowd seemed a little different…..I always look at some pumping iron and wonder if they know why and the what…I just get my basic bit done and get out…3 or 4 sets each…usually 10 reps more or less..chest, shoulders, back, legs….I don’t bother with arms..sometimes calves and lower back……

And while doing all of this…I had this song stuck in my noggin….

Simply…WOW!!!!…what voices. yes they all look so young…but I miss the 80s…everyone looks so clean, smart and healthy……I know I’m showing my age, but wow……and Cyndi Lauper nails !

this wasn’t have bad either

and yeah, I think Lennon said it best
