Sluggish Saturday
Yuck, I thought the humidity was gone for good, or at least trapped in Washington. But today was a hot northeast day just like I'm used to, and I was sort of thankful that I wasn't doing a long run as I normally would on a Saturday! My "run" this morning was 12 minutes, 12 minutes and 10 minutes, with 2 minute walking intervals. I had an awful nightmare about going to the track and not being able to even get around once without stopping, so I didn't have such great expectations going into the run. I got through it, but both my knee and calf were bothering me and it was just plain uncomfortably hot, which I guess I'm no longer used to. I also kept thinking about how the chiropractor said I was an injury waiting to happen. All in all, it was not too pleasant, nor was the ellipticalling that I forced myself to do afterwards. It was just one of those days.
I'm not sure whether the rest of the day was an improvement; I went to pick up Matt's mom at the train station and then we spent the rest of the day hanging pictures and re-arranging the apartment based on her suggestions :) Well, I guess it was more compromising than that. But it still was a long day! We did have a great dinner at a restaurant I had been to once before, The Elephant Walk, a French/Cambodian place which does some really different stuff. It was a great meal, and we didn't even get too lost taking Matt's mom and boyfriend back to the hotel!
I am a little apprehensive about tomorrow's workout, because I'm planning to do a longish bike ride, but I don't really know where to go and I need to be back here by 10. I suppose I could drive to a bike trail, which I might do, but those always tend to be boring. I wanted to swim but the gym's one late opening day is Sunday. Don't those MIT students want to work out before 9am?? Hopefully I'll get it all done in time and not make us late for brunch at my grandparents' house...
