Still Feeling OK
I was just finishing up an entry and somehow managed to delete the entire thing! Recovery has been going pretty well, but tomorrow is the real test. My body tends to feel OK for the first few days, but by the middle of the week, the trauma really hits.
This morning I did my regular seven mile loop. The watch stayed at home. There was no point in timing or worrying about pace on what is supposed to be a very easy recovery run. It was very humid, I was dripping sweat within the first five minutes. The only thing of note to mention was that on the way home, I saw one of my mom's best friends in the parking lot that I cut through. I stopped and talked to her and had to decline a ride home since I was finishing my run.
This afternoon I went to watch some of the high school cross country meets. I didn't run around the courses to cheer the runners on, just stayed at the finish line. The school I ran for had a meet as well as the school that the boys who ran with us during the summer. One of those boys was so excited to see me that he was calling out my name when they were in their circle stretching!
After that, I drove to the other side of town to another park to run with the middle school kids. Their workout was to sprint up the hill to the finish line and then jog around. My workout was to just keep on moving, not sprint. Before the first hill, my left contact folded itself up and floated up to the upper corner of my eye. If anyone did not know this already: running on trails when you can't see is very dangerous. I ran up to the cars and fixed my lens and then went on to finish my run. I think that I ended up with about four more miles this afternoon.
Now, the big news for the day....I met Beth's sister, B tonight. Not quite the same as meeting a blogger, but she is a regular reader and the sibling of one. We agreed that it could count for Beth because she is out in Pittsburgh by herself. We went for pizza and had a good time.

I travel so much that it's hard to keep track of me. Sometimes I don't even know where I'm at. And thanks again for dinner Blondie -- I had a lot of fun, and it was neat to put a face to the name (and the blog)!
