Inclement Weather

I was supposed be in Wenatchee this weekend, but because the passes have been closed on and off, we made the decision to stay on this side of the mountains. Bummed about it. But, I guess at least it's giving me time to focus on some things that I need to get done.
The sun is trying to peek through the clouds on this cold February Saturday. I'm feeling a little blah--finding that body image issues are kind of ruling my brain today. It will pass.

Looking forward to a 10 mile run tomorrow morning. It's my first. Workouts over the previous week went well. It was a hard week. Not hard in the sense that it was difficult to do--I just worked really hard and yesterday was feeling the effects. I was exhausted last night.

Tuesday and Wednesday's run were great. (4mi/5mi respectively). Took them at a comfortably hard pace. Thursday (7mi) was intense. I think I probably should've slowed down a bit and taken it easier than I did. By mile 7 I was getting pretty tired and my hip started bothering me some. Ocassionally it feels like it's slightly out of joint. It's not painful, just feels strange. I think I'll ask my doctor to check it out just to be sure all is okay. Yesterday was 6 miles--I did it in the morning on our new treadmill at home (due to time constraints). Didn't seem to interrupt Cory's last hour of sleep too much, and no complaints from the neighbors. I'm impressed with the treadmill's quality for the price we paid!

Cory and I went out for a late dinner last night at Siam Pura down on Alki. They have really good Thai food, and we were happy to find them open again after closing for a few months over the holidays. We went home and I was fast asleep by 11pm on a Friday night.

Tonight we're off to a birthday dinner in Greenwood, then up at 8am for 10 miles at Alki. My goal tomorrow is just to take it slow and easy! Cory is going to help me out tomorrow morning with my water stops! He's a trooper. Then we'll head home, shower up, and head up to see my sister, her husband, and baby Jaxon. I can't wait to see them!

It's supposed to be sunny and in the 40's tomorrow. That would be enthusiastically welcomed!
