pollen counting.

whoa nelly, i feel like i got hit by a truck. or maybe even a train. i ran the elver trails last night and upon completion fell into a sneezing fit of the century. popped an allegra and watched the finale of stage 6. crazy crashing sprinters. mowed the lawn, picked up yard waste, picked out some thatch build up and swept it up....all great things when you are fighting allergies. looked at the weather channel today and they report a high pollen count. i could have told you that suckas!!

anyway, i slept like shiz (thanks to afore mentioned allergies and, closer to the morning, the crows and other birds yelling). that combined with my sore wing (rotator cuff...probably from my mtb crash but could be from my 'stroke clinic' in the pool on wednesday) i opted out of swimming this am. it was a make up session for monday. feels weird, i haven't missed a scheduled swim since the day after thanksgiving 2004. i really don't want to tear a cuff though.

i'm going to try and log a 1.5 hr ride tonight and then a 4+ hour ride tomorrow. hopefully i'll start feeling a little better. then, it's single speeding the trails on sunday to hone my skills. skills to pay the billz.

other weekend plans: none. art fair on the square perhaps? i'd like to clean out the garage and maybe organize the basement. or not. we'll see.

pat must be on vacation...
