Wanting to be 'fast' again
Not that I was ever "fast," but sometimes I really miss being able to even have another gear or run a race. I guess I'm thinking about it now because I am sad that I won't be doing a turkey trot this year. We will be in Westchester so it's slim pickings anyway, but those little races are definitely one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving. Not to sound all whiny, but considering my lingering hamstring issues, I feel like it is going to be months and months before I will start feeling like I'm in shape. I had targeted an early January return to the track, but it probably won't happen, meaning that a spring marathon will be virtually out of the question as well.
Enough complaining. Today was a pretty quiet day. I went to the gym in the morning to elliptical and lift a little bit. My legs were a little bit tired from the Mass. Ave. hill yesterday, but no major problems. After I was done working out, I stopped in Georgetown's shopping district (M Street) to do a little poking around in Ann Taylor Loft. I am into ATL now because they have a particular fit of pants that works well for me, especially now in my non-tip-top shape body.
Matt and I took a walk this afternoon and we both enjoy the cold weather so it was nice. We were very excited to pass by a new Dunkin' Donuts (they are few and far between in the District) that we had heard about but never seen. (It doesn't take much to impress us.)
I'm excited to see what happens in the NCAA Championships tomorrow! Everyone is predicting Sally Kipyego to win it, but I'm not sure. I don't know that much about her, except that she has international experience and beat Kassi Andersen by a lot at the regional. If Arianna Lambie has peaked well, I wouldn't be surprised to see her win it, or Rhodes Scholar Michelle Sikes since she seems to be a fierce competitor. We shall see!
