Short day
It was really nice to sleep in this morning, although I woke up with a start at about 7 and couldn't figure out why my alarm hadn't gone off yet! I fell back to sleep for another hour or so and then got ready for today's workout: running and biking. I was trying to think of somewhere mostly flat that I could run from my apartment, but everything is pretty much up and then down or the other way around. I ended up going uphill for awhile (sucking wind) and then coming back down. My hamstring felt okay today, although it's tight again now. I felt stronger cardio-wise (at least after crawling up the hill) but I just wish my legs/hamstrings were completely back to normal.
I biked for about an hour (watching one of my favorite shows, Felicity) when I came home. I couldn't stand much more than that due to a combination of hunger and sore butt. I was also really hot--the weather changed from cool and rainy last night to warm and humid this morning (and now it is sunny but windy.)
We did some chores around the house and then took a walk to get some lunch, and now I am about to get ready to go to a fancy benefit for our cancer center. My boss and our intern and I are working the press table. I have to get all gussied up because this is a black-tie event. I'm lucky because it is at a hotel only about a 5-minute walk from our apartment. I'll definitely be wearing sneakers for the walk down there!
