More cold and more rain
Obviously, I'm not one to complain about unseasonably cold weather--it's the other way around that I hate. But this rainy, cold, windy weather that we're having sucks! I had to wear gloves and a long-sleeved shirt this morning, and I still was cold. I did not have a good run, either. I was tired from the track even though the workout wasn't that long or hard, and I could feel myself slowing down after a few miles (I think I ran maybe 8 total). The wind and rain didn't help motivate me to go faster! My IT band was also very tight--it was a lot better last week and seems to have tightened up on me despite my consistent use of the foam roller. Maybe it's the chilly weather. Whatever it was, it wasn't fun.
Matt was coughing a lot last night and complaining that his ear hurt, so I forced him to go to the doctor today. Sure enough, he has an ear infection--great. He should feel better tomorrow after being on the antibiotic for 24 hours, but I just hope I don't get it as well. My throat still feels a little raspy, but nothing too bad.
We packed all day today except for a break for lunch with a friend of mine from school and her boyfriend who will be going to MIT Sloan next year. (And I took another break to go to the gym and do my usual lifting and biking routine.) I was sad to leave the gym--I know that I'll have to pay a lot for a gym in NYC this summer and my swimming will have to be relegated to the weekends at my parents' pool club.
Well, I must get back to getting ready to leave tomorrow!
