Reunion!
T. returned from China yesterday afternoon and to my delight was up for a run this morning! It was really fun to have company again. And since he had been away for 3 weeks in China, he had a lot of stories to tell. Of course, he was most concerned about how his marathon training was waylaid as he didn't run more than an hour during his time away. But I was impressed that he actually figured out how to run a little bit on the roads there. (Most of his running was done on the hotel treadmill, which is why I would go crazy spending that long in a country where I didn't speak tha language and couldn't read the road signs.)
Even though I had done the Lower Manhattan loop yesterday, I let T. pick the route and that is where he wanted to run. I knew it would go by much faster with company. It did, but my ITB/knee was still a bit sore. It comes and goes during runs. I've had this for about year now, off and on, so I'm hoping my foam roller does the trick soon for this go-around. It was also super humid this morning. The forecast is for a bad week. We are headed to Western NY State at the end of the week so it may be a tad bit cooler, but probably not less humid.
T. and I ran a little more than an hour together and then I added on about 10 more minutes. Not surprisingly, I was making sweat puddles when I was stretching outside my building upon returning. Yes, I love summer!
Work was fun today because the office was packed and our boss is away! I did manage to get a lot done but I took a lot of breaks for conversations! After work I went to the gym to lift and bike as usual. My sister is finished with her summer job so she had already gone earlier in the day. I missed her! She's going away with my parents this week too so our afternoon workouts are coming to a close.
That's all for me--I'm going to go catch up on emails.
