You have to think the title in Cooter's sort of whispery voice from The Dukes of Hazard introduction.
I did get some running (well, jogging) in this weekend. Today I decided that I am still in tumble recovery. My right Biceps Femoris Muscle feels like someone smacked it just once with an ice pick. It has been stiff and tender for days but during my jog today there was just ONE spot that was agony! Thankfully it started to object at the end of my jog.
What is the Biceps Femoris Muscle, you ask? Well, thanks to the magic of the intertubes you can find out by clicking here. Funny, I always thought it was the hamstring. Learn something new every day.
OK, here is my big announcement. I am getting up at 6 AM tomorrow. There. I said it. Now I must follow though. In an effort to ensure that I will get up at 6, I programmed my coffee maker to brew at 5:51 AM. My plan is to get up, drink some coffee, read some funnies, and then go for a jog. I want to kind of switch up my schedule so I can do garden things after work and not worry about exercising vs. gardening.
Speaking of which, there is a whole lot of work to be done in my plot. It is full of weeds. But that will be some good work for me and some of my plot cohorts have offered to help me. That said, I am not officially taking possession until 10/1. The garden leader (I imagine she has a title of some kind) initially said I could start right away but there are things that need to be removed from the plot and I really do not have any desire to relocate stuff for other gardeners. Cause I am kind a caring like that. So I told her that I did not want to take ownership till the beginning of the month at which time I assume anything in the plot has been abandoned. And I will either keep it or kill it!
I made pretty good (and physically unhealthy/mentally healthy) burgers over here this weekend. I made my patties (just an egg/salt/pepper) and wrapped them in prosciutto and grilled them on my Forman grill. Then I put them on a brichoe bun with a slice of blue cheese brie and sautéed shallot. Pretty delicious! I ended up getting nine little burgers out of my pound of meat, so I have scads of them in the freezer now. You should come over! I will let you pick out your own cheese - and I will sauté some mushrooms, too! I just did not think about it while I was at the store. Oh well. Next time!
Edited to add: How does setting my coffee maker ensure I will get up? Since I've turned poor I have also noticed I've turned cheap. It will kill me to think of that coffee cooked and burning. I hate to waste!

Good luck on the getting up early thing! I hated getting up at 6:15 when I first started it but now I can't seem to sleep past that even when I don't set an alarm. So there is some danger in starting that!
Hamburgers sound great! I'll be right over.
I wonder if you should think about spraying your garden plot with roundup and letting it sit for a few days just to kill everything that's growing there. Will cut down on weeds in the future.
See my other note to find out what I'm doing today.
No Roundup allowed! It is an organic garden (when people are looking!!). Just kidding, I would not use Roundup if policy says no. So just good old fashioned muscles!
Well, I did it today. I'll give you all the details later but I am pretty pleased that I made it this morning. We shall see if it lasts! But I did it today and that is what counts. And it was the coffee that did it by the way.
Have fun!
