What Went Wrong?

Posted on October 10, 2021 by Coco

After two pain-free runs Monday and Wednesday, my short run Friday annoyed my Achilles. Not only that, the area above my left knee feels wonky–not when I run, but if I step the wrong way and sometimes going up or down the stairs. Argh!

Sorry, Jenny, but with every new twinge
I wondered if what you have is catching. 😉

I’d like to say I canceled my “long” run on Saturday, but I honestly felt great when I started out for a 2 mile out-and-back with Scooby, and let the fall weather lure me into 6 miles. Hopefully I won’t be regretting that by the time this post publishes. Continue reading →

If you have to go to Austin for a conference and won’t have much free time, you might as well go during a record-breaking heatwave, right? That’s what I did for a hot time in Texas last week. I do believe a record was set when it reached 103F on Monday.

Back To The Office

Posted on September 19, 2021 by Coco

For reasons I don’t understand, work blew up this week. I had a 7 am conference call on Tuesday, worked past 9 pm Wednesday and Thursday, and still am behind on several projects. It doesn’t help that I’ve got back-to-back conferences this week, which will make it hard to actually get any work done.
