stumbling, quite literally, onwards

just to say that since the Horrible Mosquito-Infested Bury Me (with) Wounded Knee Four Miles From Home Tragedy of last wednesday, which i am not the slightest bit dramatic about:

- i have been REALLY careful not to trip or run my knee into anything
- i have acquired some wicked bruises and gnarly scabs (you're lucky i never get pictures off my phone), but...
- i have run twice, and my legs still bend and propel me forward

... so i guess i'm fine.

one of those runs was yesterday, and it was 4 miles in 38 minutes which isn't awesome, BUT it was also after a dance class and it was STUPID hot and humid and really i'm amazed i didn't just lie down and sleep in the ditch. and why didn't i? because i had the genius idea (for real) to leave my wallet at the gym where the dance class happened, which i knew would only be open for another 45 minutes, so i had to make it back!

on the other hand, my attempts to crosstrain in the pool keep getting stupidly thwarted by stupid weather and stupid swim meets and other stupidities, so of course because i planned to swim tomorrow, there is a currently an epic thunderstorm flinging rain at my window and causing the dog to lose her shit.

well, maybe the weather gods will have shaken it off sufficiently by tomorrow afternoon.
or maybe i will swim just by *going outside*.
and/or maybe i will run.

onwards.
