Five miles? I'm impressed, -t! I have gotten stuck on W6D1 of couch to 5k, I've tried it about four times now and can't make it anywhere near through. I feel like my body is refusing to get any better, which is frustrating.

But tomorrow I'm running my first 5k since New Years. With a friend from college who is in town! Because that's how you roll in your 30s--get together for a race, instead of go for drinks. But we get a doughnut at the end

Wait until you're in your forties, meara. It's more like agree to have coffee somewhere mid afternoon.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I went through C25K like 7 times before it stuck, meara. My body really hates running. Once you get to that 5k it gets a lot easier to add miles, though.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Decaf coffee at that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too, man. Although generally home-by-ten type drinks.

Yes, that.

Eta, I don't remember the last time I felt so uncomfortable. I went into the office ONE DAY this month and managed to catch whatever has been felling people on my team. I thought I might get away with just the sore throat, but my skin hurts which is always the first sign of the real deal for me.

Then I spent three hours in the park weeding and seeding and cleaning and now I can't even tell what's causing what, I just know it ALL hurts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does this picture look like steampunk or simply period?

Sue, I hope you and yours stay well clear of doctors for the next little while.
