Very strange having a day off in the middle of the week.  (But I'm so glad we get to observe Veteran's Day now!)

I woke up with a headache today, but figured it wouldn't hurt to hit the gym.  The gym was packed; I asked the owner & she said it was actually a little light for a weekday morning. I warmed up but was not breathing well, or running well.  It's been such a long time since I've had the chance to do a midweek 5K, I really did not want to waste it.  (I just DO NOT want to give up any of the conditioning I have worked so hard to achieve...)  I was on one of the regular treadmills and I figured nobody would care if I spent a long time on it.  I had only done 1.5 miles in 19:10, so when the best treadmill became available I decided to switch.  (By that time most of the treadmills were empty anyway)  I did the last 1.6 miles in 20 minutes, then cooled down for 6 minutes (to make a total of 45 minutes).  About the time I got done, the headache came & jumped on me again. 

By the time I went home & cleaned up and it still hadn't gotten any better.  I called the chiropractor, and they had an opening.  I've been going every 3 weeks for the last couple of years, but I just haven't gotten in since life got so crazy 3 months ago. I'm going to try to get in there about once a month.  (Everything was out!)   

We have gotten zero rainfall from T.S. Ida, but the waves washed bunches of the baby turtles back in.  

I made a great salad & DH grilled some chicken, so we'll have a great, tasty dinner.
