This cannot be January!
I just got back from a lunchtime 8 mile run. On January 19th in Denver. In shorts and a sports bra! How crazy can this weather get? Now don't get me wrong, I am most definitely not complaining - it was sweet. But it was definitely kind of bizarre. I think it is supposed to stay this nice at least for another day or two which will be great. It was just getting to be that time in the winter when I start to become grouchy because I am sick of being cold all the time. So it is very nice to have a little break. Now I am sitting at my desk looking out at the beautifully sunny day. Life is good!
Not only that, but I have been in Denver for over two weeks now and in fact have not been on an airplane since January 4th. That is also sweet and I feel that my quality of life has been improving by leaps and bounds.
I would not really say that I felt superb today but I did run 8 miles in about 69 minutes which is pretty fast for an easy day. My left shin is intermittently reminding me of its existence which I attribute to my recent mileage increase and running on pavement too much. I will keep an eye on it but I think it should be fine. I guess that I've also been walking a little bit more - to and from work all week - but that should have a very minimal effect.
Anyway I just had a big lunch so I can hardly think about eating but I kind of want to cook dinner tonight so we'll see. I also kind of want to lay around on the couch! I was thinking about going back to the gym after work and lifting but frankly I just do not see that happening.
That is all the news for this great Wednesday...
