The Easy Part is Over
Five days down, two to go. The easy five days of no running are completed, the two hardest days are yet to come. The itch is there...I'm ready to go again. The weekend days are the hardest days to take off because I have some extra time. I guess being single and not having too many obligations gives me lots of excess time to run on weekends. My body is feeling more rested than it has in ages. For the most part the weather has not been good running weather this week. The past two days have been rainy and gross, but the rain is supposed to clear out for the weekend. Next week is supposed to be significantly cooler.
This afternoon I went to the gym after work. I planned to do the elliptical trainer for an hour, but my right foot kept getting numb. I don't know how some of you do marathon sessions on the thing. My right toes can only make about 15 minutes on the dang thing. I went for half an hour, stopped, took off my shoes and massaged my foot and then got back on for another 30 minutes. Afterwards, I stretched, gabbed with a guy I know who wants to get under 3 hours in Boston, and then lifted. Nothing too exciting.
I think that cookie-baking might have been moved to Sunday. Mom is getting to the point that she does not care if we do it with the neighbors or not. It keeps getting moved, and we're doing it more for the hanging out aspect of it than the having cookie aspect of it. We don't eat many cookies here. The only good thing about this is we would only have half the number of cookies we would have had if we made them all on our own. Speaking of cooking, I'm making dinner for the family tonight and the kitchen is calling my name!
