Snafus, Flus and Better Things

A few days have once again passed since my most recent post and while I have been (I think) very prolific with this blog, some things have taken place which have (of late) altered my ability to write (and therefore, post) more frequently.

First, for some reason, my primary PC at home will no longer allow me to connect to Blogger, so I can no longer post from there. I have little time to do so from school, so it is only in the wee hours of the morning that I find time to update this blog. After throwing my arms up regarding any attempt to figure out why Blogger and our PC no longer "connect," my wife did some digging and as best she can figure (and she's pretty smart about these things); for some reason our (local) Internet provider is blocking Blogger (and some Google functions) because of "China-influenced" filters. Oy vey! It's enough to make me just set the whole deal aside and... oh, wait, that IS what I've (kind of) done!

I must confess though, not being capable of blogging has done wonders for freeing up my time to do other things, though I do miss the immediate release of writing and posting directly to my blog... hopefully at some point these things will iron themselves out, though holding my breathe is not necessarily something I'll do in the meantime.

Additionally, I have yet to begin training (running) following my recent bout with influenza. I am still coughing up ugly, grey clumps of "whatever", and my nose has yet to conclude running, so I'm envisioning maybe heading out on Saturday morning. This will mean I have had a nearly fourteen day lay-off... something which was likely overdue. I've not registered for any runs or races, but with snowshoeing possibilities on the horizon, I would certainly like to give it a go, but only if I can regain some fitness before competing.

That about covers things for now (though I have left out school events and coaching stuff), so until I find some time tomorrow morning before school...
