Weird Weather
Ahhh, Wednesday is nearly over. The week is all downhill from here. I am seriously considering having a well-day on Monday. A massage therapist I used to go to said that you should call out of work healthy, don't even bother lying, just call out. There is actually more than one day next week that I've considered to be my well-day, but at the moment Monday seems to be the leading day. The weather looks like it should be beautiful and the rest of the weekend looks like it will be very busy. It is so funny how I can have absolutely nothing to do on the weekend for months at a time, but then in one weekend there are about a trillion engagements!
For some reason I have been more tired than usual this week. I've been getting to bed at a decent hour (I would like to be in bed a little bit earlier, but it is not late by any means). I've been sleeping through the night. OK, I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but I think that I sleep-walk there. The only culprit that I can think of is not taking naps on Monday and Tuesday. I was so exhausted last night that even though Mom was bored and lonely, she told me to go to bed because I just looked wiped out. This afternoon I did get to nap and was out like a light.
I did a very pleasant 7 miles this afternoon. My stomach was acting up some, but for the most part it was tolerable. The weather has been unseasonably cool this week. Don't get me wrong, I've been enjoying it. The other day the weatherman said that we had an unseasonably wet April, like over 3 inches above normal. I don't remember it raining all that much, but the days it did rain it was a heavy rain all day and all night. Back to today...I didn't time the run, just ran it and tried to stay relaxed. Got home, used the bathroom and went back out for my 6 striders. There was really nothing exciting about it at all.
It really surprises me how not beat up my body is after racing on Sunday. I know that the course is gentle, but there have been years that I have not been able to walk down the steps after this race. I believe that it is just a testament to how much of a bad day I was having. I just could not get my body to push hard enough to be racing. I am a little bit on the tight side, but nothing out of the ordinary.
I went to the gym and rode the bike for 30 minutes. I talked to S for the first 20 minutes that I was on the bike. The last ten I was alone and read an old trashy magazine. I had to go to Trader Joe's to pick up a few items. The real bummer was that the one item that I was really trying to get was out and won't be in until tomorrow. The rest of this week looks really busy, so I don't know when I'll be able to pick it up.
OK, I really need to get to bed at a decent hour tonight!
