Friday night I made the worlds worst pizza. News Alert- Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat Crust Kinda Sucks.
Saturday, I ran errands and had a nice lunch at the Hofbrauhaus. Then Charlie and I had cozy night watching Inception and carb loading on pasta and baked chicken with goat cheese, basil and tomatoes.
Sunday was a 6 am wake up. I got up to earn another one of these:
That’s #3 this year people!
This one hurt a little more than the last two. My foot is hurting (the good one..ugh). My hamstring on my left side hurts too; it started hurting at mile 7. I have some nasty blisters. And to top it off, my ass is a bit chafed. STOP LAUGHING. But yes I have two chafed spots on tuckus. Awesome.
The race was hard. I tried the run/walk thing. Not for me. Not for me at all. I just never got in a groove. The headwinds were killer too. By the time I could take advantage of the tailwinds, I had no gas in my tank. I was hating life and my hamstring at mile 9. The race was .3 miles LONGER than 13.1 too. But I finished. And that my friends is what matters.
This year I’ve proved that I can run injury free. I also proved that it is humanly possible to run, er run walk, 3 half marathons.
I have a 15K on my schedule next week. I’ll see how I recover this week and how my foot feels.
So what fun things did you do this weekend?
awww, i’m sorry. i hope you recover soon 🙁
The run/walk thing takes a lot of practice, imo. Because you have to deal with your head and if you are in a groove.
I hope the foot is better.
I ran/walked 3 miles (but not because I wanted to walk…hip issue).
