Geez - Really I Am Still Here!

Not that I keep that close of a watch, but I noticed I lost a few followers to the blog. I will go back to the old mouthwash and BO Stick. I hope my blogging has not offended anyone?

I am here though. Really I am. I am still sick as well. Late seasonal Respiratory Flu bug. Yuck! Half of my kiddos have it now as well. Never fun.

I have been consumed with all things Soccer of late as well. So, sorry not much big running news to report. I do have a race this weekend, which we are doubting will happen.

We do the races as a family. The one time I went without my wife and running kiddos - disaster in the desert near Tucson. With two running kiddo's sick, another showing signs of it this AM. Plus, me trying to kick the crud of it - maybe not the best timing for a quick trip to San Diego.

Plus, Soccer season starts the day before. Our family has four games. Doubting all of them can play. Coaching? I have four new players on the roster. I am missing this season, a player who has been the foundation of the team. So, our first game will be interesting. The new players are pretty good, and one looks like a new foundation for the season. With another player who, with better technical development, will be really special at this sport. Just love seeing these young kiddo's pick this sport up and run with it. Fun!

Cheers!

I lost some followers recently. Maybe too much "other" stuff. I had just posted pics of my cats and a post about junk food. I like that kind of thing on other blogs so have gravitated to not just fitness stuff on mine. But I still wonder. It takes effort to stop following someone. Was I that bad? And I come over here but don't "follow" you so I will do that and have you go in the other direction.

Yikes, sorry to hear about the bug. I had the same one. No fun at all and my half next week will be a fun run at best. Hope everyone is feeling better!

Good luck with the soccer! I hear you about trying to fit in all the kids stuff...and we only had two competing this past year. Somehow the time still fills.

OK, I unfollowed and refollowed your blog...maybe now it'll show up in my dashboard? I'm not ignoring it or offended...I just never see it. :-/

No fun having the family fun pack o' crud!!! If it's BO, we haven't smelled it here yet...just sayin :-O

Jeez, round and round with the crud, that was us about 4 years ago!
I know the soccer season is epically consuming (but I do love to run past my neighborhood parks and see all the kids out there already - makes me very happy). Mine is always swim season - 6 weeks of living at the pool and becoming an official timer to watch my kids swim for about 10 minutes on Saturdays. Oh well, it means a lot to them!

I'm still here! I understand about illnesses going around--can't quite get out of that rut myself. Here's hoping you all feel better soon.

I've lost a few followers too. Yucky about the sickness. We went through it all in my family too. Get well soon. : )

Well I finally managed to add your new URL to my blog roll. Talk about being WAY behind....

I've managed to get the crud this week. Yay.

I don't worry about people not following me, it's my blog and if they don't like it they can jump ship if they want. Plus I only blog when I want to and not because I feel like I have to. Just blog when you have the time my friend, we all understand about kids busy schedules, etc!
