Back on the black belt again

Whew! I've been down and out for a while now. I caught that most dreaded of afflictions *cue Psycho music* a COLD. Besides looking like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and sounding liike a swamp monster, I just felt plain awful. I stayed away from the gym. I have to admit that when I went out tonight I was afraid my fitness would be gone, but wonder of wonders, I had a good run. I pushed pretty hard (for me) and ran just over 3.8 km in half an hour. Hey, I'll take that! Feeling happy. Now for dinner 😃. Have a great week everyone!

Here's some mail trucks on a snowy night near me:

Glad you're over the cold, and well done on the run. It can be hard after a break.

Brrrrr, just looking at that pic made me shiver

Glad to hear you're back out there and running up a fever. A what!!!!!! Er, I should rephrase that. Storm! Nah, that's not much better. LOL

Whatever, you were running up it! Good for you. Keep up the good work!
