Hello lovely womens and happy hump day!
Dr. T, here's hoping for a happy hip. Yay for signing up for a marathon!
GiantNewb, yay for your first half-marathon! Hopefully back-to-school time is going smoothly.
Scheherazade, I am VERY much looking forward to following your IMC training here, so you better keep us posted. ; )
Dr_C, yay race week! Wishing you a calm week with no niggles, sniffles, or bad weather. Also, I totally feel your pain with hooky-playing lifeguards... I actually gave up early morning swims at one pool because they were just not reliable.
SoCal, that gravel race sounds like quite the adventure! What an awesome time.
Last week was pretty good because I made almost no social plans, haha. Three runs -- I can tell I have to rebuild some of my running fitness, but everything except the lungs felt OK -- three rides, some PT, a weights video, and a small bit of yoga. A pretty well-rounded week except for still lacking motivation to try to get back in the pool. Eh, I have limited spare time right now and it's just not a priority. In related news, I learned the duathlon I did last year isn't returning this year, which is a big bummer. Had I realized that ahead of time I would have tried to do another one before the end of summer. There is one in a few weeks a bit of a drive away, so right now it's a big maybe.
This week is off to a slow start. Work is entering a busy phase for a few weeks and I am also trying to negotiate a Big Life Change, which burned up all of my mental energy yesterday. We ended up playing hooky last night and going out for burgers at this place that cooks their french fries in lard and yes, it's amazing as it sounds (sorry, vegetarian friends). It was also 90-something degrees and ridiculous humidity so it was a good day to skip a run. I have to be at the office late today but am hoping to squeeze in that missed run and get back into my routine by tomorrow.
I hope you all are having a wonderful week.
