Stuff going through my mind........We have a group of co-workers that run on a regular basis and makes for a healthier atmosphere to work in.
Well one of the older(60) runners is having quadruple bypass surgery today. He had been struggling the past week to maintain a consistent pace in his training runs and was having chest pains. He was actually taking a stress test when the doctors determined he needed the surgery.
So we're all hoping for a successful surgery and recovery for Len. I would be the oldest runner if he doesn't come back!
Why is it that when I talk to someone about ailments that I start to get sympathy aches and pains?
We got more snow, so I'll be inside running today on the God-forsaken track. The temps are heading south of zero in the next few days.
If we call it an Alberta Clipper, what do they call the same thing in Alberta?
I ran a mile before EXTREME class yesterday because I knew I wouldn't be able to afterwards.
Class consisted of five rounds:
20 Barbell Cleans
30 Wallballs w/ 20 lb ball
30 extensions
Now I remember why my body aches all of the time.

I wish I had some coworkers to run with.. they're all lazy bums.
Wishing Len the best!
I was glad I ran my run before I played softball Thursday. I might not have been able to do it afterwards.
Tell Len, 'best wishes from AZ'
I hope your friend has a successful surgery and healthy recovery! Best of luck dealing with all that snow.
Hope your co-worker's surgery will go well. Now you don't want to be the senior of your running group LOL
And yes you should read 50/50 while on the trainer it makes riding more interesting!
wow, puts things into perspective! All the best to Len
Hoping your buds surgery goes well.
Stay warm!!
I am sick of this deep freeze. I'm ready for summer. Now.
How is Len doing with his recovery?
Hope that you are not the oldest for long! What is a wallball? I have a few ideas...but... LOL. Do tell!
I was wondering the same thing too, and here's what Wikipedia told me:
Ironically, the chinook which in part originates the Alberta clipper usually brings extremely warm weather (often approaching 21C/70F in the depths of winter) to southern Alberta itself, and the term is therefore not in common use in Alberta.
Interesting!
