thoughts for the day...

Today called for a 90 minute run. A little longer as today is holiday in the great white north and I had the time for a longer run. So, up I get early as I want to do something fun today with the boys...what exactly, not sure, but I will come up with something.
I had two thoughts today:
#1. "Dang, those are some nasty storm clouds coming this way....I hope I don't get rained on."
#2. "Dang, (about 40 minutes in) I really have to poop..."
I am a true hardcore triathlete now.
I pooped in the trees down by the river.
I was a long way from a bathroom and had zero options at that point. Cause it came quick and was "touching cloth" for a good few minutes before I squatted. Thank-god it was around 6:00 in the morning and zero traffic on the running paths!!
Other than the poop, I had a really good run. Legs were tired for a bit at the start but then they smartened up and away we went. Weather looks good for the weekend so me thinks we are off to the cabin (after my bike ride) on Saturday!!
In other news, my husband has broken his wedding ring...AGAIN!! This is the THIRD ring he has had in our almost 10 years...the first he lost, the second he broke and now this one has broke. He works with his hands (metal fabrication) and insists on wearing the ring even though it could be dangerous but this is the crappy part,,,,the rings do break. So, we are off to go wedding ring shopping...AGAIN!!! This time toating two kids...but seriously, it is kind of fun...brings back the old memories of when we did it the very first time.

Nice to have a long easy work out. Glad it went well, so to speak. I'm just on the verge of heading out for a long ride.

I went without a wedding ring for years till I saw one I liked. I also happened to be working in a job where my hands were going into places like pumps clogged with things you don't want to think about. So it all worked out. I'd rather keep all my fingers, thank you. I've now lost enough weight that I need to get the ring resized.

did you scooch along the grass with your ass like a dog does?? lmao.

Problem is, what is in the grass? Insecticide, herbicide, stinging nettles, poison ivy? Could make the ring of fire more immediate than you'd like it to be.....

That was Linda commenting, not me.
