been away for a spell



Oof.

The last few days have been like a repeated sucker punch to the old breadbasket.

President Trump.  UGH, I might be sick.

I have woken up most mornings in just sheer disbelief.  I have also woken up with a half empty bottle of bourbon next to my bed (the aftermath of late night phone calls between old friends declaring our call to arms).  Like I said, it's been a tough few days.

That being said, I've managed to get my runs in.  They have been a smooth tonic for my battered soul.   I have been a bit of a slouch when it has come to doing my intervals, but I have kept at my regular five milers and my long run on Sundays.

My diet has been terrible and the bourbon fueled evenings have not been helpful, but I have finally pushed through.  Lunch today consists of 2 hard boiled eggs, some potatoes, green beans and arugula.  
I will be drinking water by the gallon until my humors are balanced.

I have a long run Sunday and I will be shooting for seven miles.  I skipped todays run because my knee hurt a little bit on my run yesterday.  Riding my bike until Sunday.

Not much to report otherwise.  Gonna keep fighting.  I mean PRESIDENT Trump???

Jeeeeez.
