Wife & I got our first shingles vaccine yesterday, felt fine all day but woke up with chills and body aches last night, didn't sleep much at all. Looked at my sports watch and my stress levels were off the charts all night, very similar to when we got our 2nd COVID vaccine. Knowing family members and a few friends that have suffered with shingles, the discomfort I'm experiencing is a small price to pay in the bigger scheme of things. Just bummed because today is my running / walking day and I'm going to have to pass on it because I'm out of it. Maybe later today if I'm feeling better, if not, tomorrow.
Yeesh. Sorry to hear that you had a bad reaction.

I assume your reha is coming along as expected?
Thanks Doc, Had my annual flu shot a month or so ago, zero side effects. I just hope this isn't the shape of things to come, that every little vaccine makes me feel like shit!
My walk / run routine is up to 4 miles every other day, pacing myself with a 2 minute jog followed by a 3 minute walk. Saw the doctor for the final time Monday, he said everything looks really good.

Fantastic news. Fingers crossed that your knees don't let you down again.

I've just got to be smarter about it by running every other day in order to allow for recovery time and not trying to run 8 minute miles anymore. That ship has sailed!

I've mentioned before that I'm doing that with my cycling and rowing. I just don't have it in me anymore to push myself like an idiot anymore. I was losing more and more days to minor injuries and just basic recovery. So I put in my kilometres, ignore the time, and leave it at that. Kind of liberating in its own way. I knew it'd eventually happen, that my stamina would start to be a problem, but so be it.

I made a great leaping play on a line drive over my head saving two runs but later missed a shoe string line drive to my right and that's all I can think about

The boos from the crowd were heard here in Ottawa.

As I've said before, at least you're out doing it, I can't recall the last time I played ball. Now if you'd missed both, that would be different.

From the editors: The previous claim that the boos from the crowd were heard in Ottawa was in error. The boos related to the misplay were actually coming from Ottawa. We regret the mistake.

If it makes you feel any better, I twisted my ankle last night while walking my dog. And not even on the hilly part of the walk. On my driveway. My flat driveway.

There might be federal training programs you might look into.

(I can mock because I've grown more tippy in the last few years. Not to the point of falling, but plenty of pausing to right myself and I always use the handrail on stairs.)

I thought that was Pitbull. Dale!
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Hello,

The referee should have given the driveway a yellow card.
