One Stormy Week
3 out of 4 runs only on a treadmill
(Sore knees were all I got from pushing too far on a treadmill. I was yearning to run on the road all week.)
+
2 vomiting kids
(Were germs this wicked during our time?)
+
1 missed virtual run
(due to 2 vomiting kids)
+
2 strong storms
(Good riddance to Chedeng and Dodong! I will never forgive you for ruining my runs…but then again I am grateful for increasing our depressingly low water supply. Egay, don’t you even think of visiting my running route this week!)

1 Sick Bull Runner
That encapsulates the week that was for me. And, as I… [sneeze]
write this, I am still afflicted with the… [cough]
common cold as almost everyone… [ehem]
here in Manila is. [wipe nose]
I would love to chat but… [drop strepsils into mouth]
I would rather conserve energy for… [achoo]
a good run—yes, I still run despite the cold… [move strepsils to left cheek]
rather than waste it on…[move strepsils to the right]
typing out letters on the keyboard. [sniffle]
[ REST ]
