This past weekend brought about low overnight temperatures (upper 40’s and low 50’s). Best running weather ever! Unfortunately my body couldn’t seem to get it together. Old age sucks. My back began hurting midweek so by Friday night it was unbearable. The suspected culprit: my home desk chair. You know, where I spend several hours a day diligently writing and researching. Still don’t have week one grades. Hmmpphh. I’ve made the switch to a proper ergonomic, blah blah blah chair. Hopefully that fixes it.
Dr. Google informed me walking (and running, actually) can be beneficial for those who suffer from back spasms. As I essentially have the same degree as Dr. Google, I took the advice with a grain of salt (otherwise known in pill form as ibuprofen) and went for a walk. It didn’t kill me and I only had to stop twice when the spasms nearly knocked me off my feet. Successful walk.
September concluded with nearly 33 total miles for the month! Overall that sounds paltry to what fall training began with last year. But it also wasn’t 95+ degrees then so I’m ok with it.
But I did have a solid reason to lay around all weekend and shirk my running duties. Finally! The long awaited premier of Hocus Pocus 2! Not as good as the original but not bad either. We made Hocus Pocus buns – basically disappearing marshmallow buns. Very tasty!
Update: late Saturday I received grades for my first assignment. 75 out of 75 points and a “well done”. *bowing graciously*

“The Google” is awesome! I mean the Internet doesn’t lie, so Google is the Oracle of Truthiness.
My wife watched HP2, and had the same feelings about it as you. She said to me, “SJP is 56 now?!?”, and I’m like DUH! She was in her 20s when the first one came out!
Weekend was fine. I played in the house with my son a lot, because we had remnants of Hurricane Ian. I couldn’t do yard work like I wanted to.
I ran ZERO miles in September, so your month was better than mine. Too much life stuff going on.

I didn’t know she was in her 50s but it makes sense. Geez, we’re getting old, Larry!
