Week Twenty-Nine: Illness and a Training Date

Adrith starts out the week by getting someone's cold at the office. Cat/Astrophe is still working on recovering from the flu. Still, Cat/Astrophe has a decent week training-wise, and at the end of the week, they decide to make a training date. They'll both head out for a walk at the same time, and do it "together". Excerpts from Cat/Astrophe's report:

"I spent my whole time crabbing at her in my head.

"Ow! My foot hurts!"

"Argh, it's dark!"

"Damn that car! It almost hit me!"

"Oh, great. DRIZZLE now."

I also felt queasy from eating dinner just 30 minutes before so I didn't bother trying to do intervals spurts-- just a brisk walk all the way through and get it over with. Running would have shaken my dinner up inside me too much.

"Ugh, I am burping orange juice! It tastes bad!"

"My stomach feels queasy -- I wanna throw up!"

"I'm snotty! I need a tissue!"

Then I made myself laugh, because if Adrith really had been there she would have hit me, or started running faster just to get away from me and my complaints. Better yet, pelted me with a snowball so I'd quit yammering about my measly drizzle when she has tougher weather issues coming up on her end. Plus, she is fighting a cold herself. Maybe she'd flick a booger at me.This cracked me up." - Cat/Astrophe
