I just updated Great Seattle Bathrooms again, and figured it's been long enough since I mentioned it that I might have some friends on here who don't know about it. So, I have a blog about bathrooms in Seattle and the businesses they are in. A long time ago, I thought something like that was a good idea for a Seattle travel guide, but I eventually realized I'd never pull it all together.

When I saw Julie and Julia, I was inspired. Not to do a post every day, though. In fact, what made me want to do the project as a blog was that there were no deadlines or pressure and updates can be done as often or as rarely as they happen organically. I don't go places just to see their bathrooms, I just try to always check out the bathrooms whenever I go anywhere. And I don't always succeed; we had dinner at La Bete on Friday and I didn't feel like breaking the seal!

Actually if you're bored, click over to my page and check the links on the sidebar. A few tumblrs and my t-shirt shop. I haven't sold a t-shirt in a while.

I can't remember the last time I saw this much ice

Walkin'

My walks this week have been torture. Lots and lots of shin pain. The kind I'm used to getting once in a while that normally goes away if I press on, but it's just not any more. I've added some ankle stuff to my morning stretches, but it doesn't seem to help yet. 

I figure it's due to the extreme cold. Another possibility is an issue with a joint in my big toe, right foot. It doesn't hurt all day or anything, but if I bend my toe back there's a lot of weird pressure and the kind of pain that's a bit like a stretch gone bad. Hard to explain. It doesn't bother me when I walk, but I wonder if I'm compensating in ways I don't even realize.

No matter how cold it gets, I'm still always comfortable when I'm walking. It would probably be different in wind and rain, but a plain old cold morning is just fine. Unless that's the reason my shins hurt.

Looking forward to Friday, when I can walk later and longer. Maybe I should do a route that starts out following the Monday-Thursday route and see if I get sore around the same area of the neighborhood.

Fog!

After a few days of shin pain, I decided to take it easy today and followed my original route to work. So quick and easy! No pain, though, even though I walked further than the spots where the pain started the last few days. I wonder if it's because it's basically all downhill, whereas my normal route lately has an ever-so-slight climb at the start. It's weird, you ever notice sometimes a slight incline can wipe you out in a really subtle way that creeps up on you? 

I didn't feel like having to go find the walk in my MapMyRun archives to copy it, so I recorded it today. For some reason, when I saved it, it moved the decimal place over, and recorded it as 2,430 miles. Ha.

Group hang gliding with swings

This morning I had a very silly dream about being interrupted while trying to shower so I could write my blurb for my college senior year yearbook and my mom was there interpreting because the girl was deaf but she kept looking away right when she was signing so it was all really frustrating, you know how dreams are. Anyway the part I remembered most distinctly was that I had met someone that I needed to talk to about this project when we had gone group hang gliding (with swings) together.

Yay fog!

Still taking it easy to give my shins a break, mostly just wanted to be out
in the fog. Bonus action shot with location indicated. One nice thing was
that I realized this can be the basis for a new Monday-Thursday route once
the sun's out in the mornings. That'll be a while, though, since I'm out
the door before 4:25am those days.
