Crash and Burn

My computer, that is. Johnny didn't want to put any sort of virus or spyware protection on our laptop, so two nights ago, it finally fried. (Yes, honey, I'm blaming you. I still love you. :) ) A coworker's husband worked magic on it - it had 16 virus and 200 spyware!!!! YIKES. Yes, lesson learned.

Now that I'm back, I will finally be able to get caught up on blogs. Whew!

I skipped yesterday's run, but did the strength training that I skipped the day prior. I made up yesterday's run today, which felt good. I'm not sure when I'll make up the yoga session I skipped earlier in the week!

Yikes! Last year I spilled a diet coke on our laptop and fried it. Thankfully your laptop was revived!

Hrumph.

No, seriously, glad it's back up. And it's great that running is going well for you again...

I'm so glad you got it fixed.

I was just saying to my wife the other day how well our computer has been working, I hope I did not anger the Intel gods. I have been through my share of getting rid of viruses from some idiot who has too much time on his hands living in the parents basement!!

What I would suggest, don't "make up" on missed workouts (and things in general), just move on to the next one. It's gone, over, look up into your plan (if you have one) or see how you feel - and do it.

Maybe it's not so much making up as it is shuffling things around so that they fit better into the life that we live. Just keep at it and don't give up.

I agree with Olga, don't try to make up on lost workouts. It's ok to swap workouts around, but not to suddenly cramp all the missed runs into a small amount of time.

Yeah, that antivirus stuff is really necessary, there are sooo many out there. Our desktop also got fried last year because of it!
Have fun shuffling your workouts, I do that a lot and haven't had a problem with it :)
