Haven't run since Thursday...but I'm OK with that. It has been hot. Got some good news - starting in July I will have Friday nights off (forever I hope) so I'm hoping to meet up with ARC or who ever is running my slow speed for some longer runs on Sat AM.
Bads news...today when I went to get my horse for his acupunture treatment his nose was running like a tap. Not clear either...thin bright yellow with thicker globs (probably TMI for most of you). He had this problem a week ago but it wasn't as bad and it dried up after a day or so. I wrote it off as allergies. So I called the new barn vet to make an appointment...I assumed he would call back Monday morning. Called me while I was sleeping at 3pm. After telling him Riley's symptoms he promptly told me Riley had a sinus infection and would need a hole drilled into his sinus to drain it out. What!!!!! Thankfully he told me he couldn't see him until Wednesday so I told him I'd take him to Elgin Vet Hosp on Monday. It did look better tonight so hopefully it will again run it's course. After talking with a friend, she told me her horse had the exact same thing a week ago and she was told it was allergies by Elgin and did nothing - it went away on it's own. That's what I'm hoping for.
Same day I get home from work to hear water running...that can only be bad news. Thankfully I guess the cat had been playing in the bathtub and some how turned on the hotwater...good thing my rent includes all bills! My dog had grabbed a ziplock bag of salt off the counter and a dish of pistachio shells. The salt was in her dog bed. She had obviously thought it was sugar and eaten some. Then threw up all over the floor. When I took her outside, she drank at least a gallon of water. Yes, she was still alive in the afternoon when I let her in.
More good news...not a single ROT Rally fatality this weekend...that's a first. Only saw one ROT Rally DWI this weekend too. Big improvement.
Going to try and adjust my running scheddule again...the 2 a day schedule was making me too tired. So I am going to continue running twice on Wed only but will try and run on Tues AM instead of PM.
Hope all is going well for everyone else.

Accupuncture for your horse? Who woulda thought?
Congrats on your 5K win last Wednesday, even if it was hot and tough. You rock!
