Back to Reality
Well, I woke up this morning and the Boss Dog wasn't waiting for me downstairs. I missed the little guy. As did I miss my training partners Elizabeth, Ness, Jen and Chris. And my oatmeal.
But luckily I did still find a way to move on and go about my day. I had a wonderful time in Chicago but there is always something to be said for routine. Routine feels good every once in a while.
Still, I really would have liked SOMEone to swim my 5000 yds with this morning. :) No takers so off to the YMCA by myself it was. And I had a very good workout ONCE I got going. It took me a while but about 1500 yds into things I started to feel very strong and fluid in the water. Not really too speedy, but strong and fluid. :) I also lifted.
Last night O and I ran 14 miles in 80 degree weather with 100,000% humidity. I dub last week my "heat acclimization week" as I did the majority of my running in temps above 80. That's rough business. Last night it felt a lot like I was breathing through a hot, wet towel! But as I remember correctly by the time I got around to running at Steelhead last year it was in the 80s and roasting. So this is good practice. Of course I'm very much looking forward to some cooler temps for my run tomorrow morning around 5 am. :)
And now it's time to go check out what Roxy is up to. I think I just heard her jump in the bathtub. Storms must be coming!
Good night everyone!
