As I sit here eating authentic Chinese dumplings made by an authentic Chinese peron, and waiting for noodles, I thought I'd pop in to say

went out to cut off the water so I could fix the kitchen sink.
And I could not locate the dang thing!
I know where it is, I have looked at it before, operated it before, planned on parking a truck (and a hideous Marilyn statue) on it.

I raked leaves, kicked sod.

I am looking for a 12 inch diameter metal lid in the front yard.

I know the water company did not come and take it out, I do have running water!

Baffled, what can I say!

Dimensional rift? Eddy in the space time continuum?

You didn't happen to hear the TARDIS sounds nearby recently, did you?

Are you in the back yard when you should be in the front?:)

Hmmm... feeling like some intensity in my home session today...

Thinking either tabata-style SOMETHING (although I may have to lower either reps or intensity, so not really tabata, but as hard as I can manage)

OR hill sprints down near the beach. It's niiiice outside so leaning towards the supreme power of the hill....

Long day yesterday. Teaching an all-day Excel class with a cold, I used up an entire box of Kleenex and had to buy more on the way back to my hotel. Feeling somewhat better this morning.

Okay... so decided to do hill sprints........

..... not the best idea, had a bit of a situation XD.

Hadn't done hill sprints in awhile, so thought I'd only do a few. Did 2 all out ones, they went well, a little tiring but not too bad. So kept going!

3rd was good and was feeling it, was extending rest times accordingly just so I didn't overdo it. Just walked down the hill for my rests and around on the flat ground, maybe 1-2 minute rests.

Did the 4th... and I'm not sure how.. but it was far, far too much.

Pretty much almost collapsed multiple times after it, and I literally could not walk again until more than 30 minutes afterwards of lying down... Was sooo nauseous and was pretty sure I would throw up, but didn't end up. Must have just really overdone it, have reached that 'point' multiple times, but it would be within a few minutes that I'd be up again.

Couldn't even sit up without almost throwing up. It was a horrendous feeling!

Even when I attempted to walk again I had to keep sitting down and lying down.

Lesson learned... eeeeeease into it. I did go pretty all out, and was a very steep hill...

(And I hadn't skipped any meals for the day and had had lots of water so who knows!)

That's not a fun feeling, at all.

Glad to hear you are feeling better.

I Love Excel. Back in the day (say 2005) I would say I had an advanced understanding of the program. It is Very powerful. Married with the rest of the Microsoft Suite and there is not much a person cannot do.

It was very, very strange... was close to asking for help from people walking by! During that 4th sprint my legs felt insanely heavy and almost shut off, so may have just blown a fuse haha. Just could not get up!

Always good to know I can push myself to those extremes... but lesson learnt!!
