On the plus side, I&#8217;m better than I was in Ventura, and indeed better than the days I had taken off post-Ventura. But I&#8217;m very, very leery of the marathon distance.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a good thing, though. One should ALWAYS respect the distance. It&#8217;s never easy&#8230; it&#8217;s just sometimes a little less hard. That said, I&#8217;m a bit of a grouch. I said to my Mom and brother this morning as we went our separate ways for the day, that I&#8217;m such a grouch I feel I should be living in a garbage can.<\/p>\n<p>After that I spent way too long googling various theme songs for Oscar the Grouch.<\/p>\n<p>This is what happens when I have internet access.
