found out the neighbor is getting rid of the chickens (hallelujah!)

A friend of mine just got some chickens, and they are rented! What a scam. I mean, on the part of the farm or whatever. It's kind of brilliant for the family, because they don't have to figure out what to do with them over the winter.

"oh, you're from Eugene? My girlfriend is in Eugene right now!"

Yeah, sounds like that's that. Sorry.

I am supposed to be joining -t and her mom to do a 5-k in 3 hours or so, but I've been awake with a migraine for almost an hour. I am beginning to suspect this weekend isn't going as planned.

Ugggghhhhh. Poor you!

I am supposed to be joining -t and her mom to do a 5-k in 3 hours or so

5K twinsies! Or maybe just twinsies with -t and mom. I don't know if I'd try a 5K with a migraine. Though I am exhausted from my trip and it's going to rain and my sinuses ache from the weather (and I'm hoping that doesn't turn into a migraine).

Still doing the 5K, though, because it's the Flying Pig and I want that medal.

And then I am going to come home and sleep for a month.

Ugh, Lee. I hope the migraine bails and you can get some rest, at least.

Sigh, meara. Well, glad you know for sure.

It is too early to be up on a Saturday. But if I can leave the house on time, the rest of my day looks pretty good.

meara, what a dissappointment. I'm sorry.

I hope the pain eases soon, Lee.

I went back to sleep, and then took the dog for a walk when I woke up, but I am pretty sure that is it for me and walking, for right now. it was not pleasant.

I'm glad your mom will be there -t, since I am bailing. Maybe we can walk that loop with Walter some day soon.

Right now it's at 10,000 steps a day, but I'm thinking I could incorporate more into my life.

hahaha oh gosh I'm really sedentary. It's a banner day when I hit 5,000.

Sigh. Yeah. We just had a phone convo (way to wake up in the morning). Officially over. And mostly I'm pissed I didn't get breakup sex. I haven't gotten laid in a month!

Timelies all!

It's a banner day when I hit 5,000.

Well, half of mine is baked into my day. My assigned parking lot is half a mile from my office.

5K done! It rained lightly but steadily for the last mile, but it's in the upper 50s, so the rain wasn't *too* bad. We finished in 1:01 (I maintain we would have finished in just under an hour if Tim hadn't stopped to re-tie his shoe), which I'm pretty happy with because, honestly, we really didn't train for this one. We took a couple of 2-mile walks the past couple of weekends (and I walk for exercise, but I don't walk 5K), and that's about it. So a 20-minute mile is honestly exactly what I was hoping to achieve.

These finishers' medals are like CRACK.
