Canada Wins Gold!

Whew I breathe a sigh of relief as I watched the women's hockey team win the gold medal. Canada beat Sweden 4 - 1. Was there any doubt? Sure there was. Team Sweden had beaten Team USA our perennial competition in a shootout to make it to this game and they did it on the back of their diminutive goalie, all 5 foot 6 of her... She could have stood on her head again, you never know in an elimination format like this tournament...

But you're waiting on the big answer to the bigger question, did I run yesterday? Nope I watched our men's hockey team lose to Finland instead (sigh). Then ate my sorrows away with a big plate of take out Chinese food. Mmmm, I ain't a Coke fan but I always gotta drink it with Chinese food after and all those calories, well, yep I shoulda ran...

But today me and the booch (meaning pooch) went for a walk and I decided enough was enough, Excuse Man (that's me) has gotta run, so I slipped on my running shoes and put in a light 5k... It felt good, I almost went for 8k but realized my toe was starting to ache. I injured it playing "hall ball" with my 8 year old nephew at Christmas. I went to kick a ball soccer style and hit the side of his 8 year old foot with my the second toe on my size 12 foot! I was more worried about hurting him at that moment! He was fine, but almost 6 weeks later and it still bothers me ... Maybe I broke it... Naaah, I'm being a woose tail ;)

Well enough babbling I am debating my aerobics and weights now ... I am so tired ZZzzzzzz
