So today I received a phone call from somebody that I'd only communicated with via texts or online up to that point and I must say that I probably didn't make much of a favorable impression. See while I consider myself to be somewhat decent in online communication and in real life, when it comes to telephones I seem to turn into a blithering idiot, lol.....I have no clue why that happens. My vocabulary is not limited to words with less than 4 letters, although the grammar usage could use some fine-tuning but shove that phone at me and you can have a more intelligent conversation with a zombie from "Shaun of the Dead". Combine that with a mind-numbingly exhausting work-week and yeah, you have it, Queen of the umm, er, and uhhs with maybe a touch of "oh I'm such a ditz, ooh shiny!" Geez.......
Marathon recovery has been ok but I did end up with a raging case of post marathon blues that was completely unexpected. A friend helped me out with that by pointing out that it was probably due to my first marathon being a very small event. Not much crowd support so I was left with a feeling of "this is it?" Yeah, silly I know but still it was what I was feeling :) so I'm going to own it, lol. Thursday midday was my first run since Saturday and it went quite well even though it was a bit warm and I was starving. Took Elsie out with me so I would be ensured of some walk/rest breaks and we found a nice little city park not far from the Pilot at Denham Springs, LA. Ended up with 3.65 miles and felt pretty darn good :-).
I am exhausted through and through so it's time for bed, I will try and write another blog entry before Monday........

I am sure it was not nearly as horrible as you think. You have so much personality, and your conversations are so animated, one would hardly notice any ummm, er, uhhh's
:)
Terry,
nope, no animation or personality as of late.
I've just been so tired for the past month I feel like dead wood, blech. My verbal abilities are just about nil :(, it's like
something is losing connection between my brain
(braaaaiiiinnnnnsss) and my mouth, lol.
Who would have thought.... A woman that can't talk?! Never!! lol
However, like LT needed it, I think you need a real rest too, no running, no driving and certainly NO running around after other people - just for a week or so, and get some real 'core' rest.
TWB, no rest for the wicked :)...... No chance of any of that happening in the foreseeable future, lol
