Unscheduled Rest
Yuck! My hips hurt! My legs are tired and achy, my back (kidneys?) hurts, and I just feel sluggish. I have progressively been getting more and more worried that I’m going to injure myself in these last few weeks leading to my race, so I decided to take the evening off to rest my weary bones. I walked a mile tonight with my husband, and I’ll get my five mile run in tomorrow. I’m still planning a long run of 12 miles on Saturday, but I may push it to Sunday if I’m still tired.
Random Fun
We went to the prettiest outdoor wedding on Saturday. My friend got married on her and her husband’s property, and the reception was in and around the barn. It was simple, sweet, and oh-so-stunning. Here’s a pic of the gorgeous bride:
At the wedding, I was able to catch up with some long-lost friends. We had so much fun working together back in the day. Miss these awesome ladies.
I had run 10.6 miles, so I didn’t even feel guilty about all the brewskies I drank…or the wedding cake I ate. Don’t worry, I was still at a calorie deficit for the day.
We ended the evening fairly early and were in bed at a decent time. We got up Sunday and went for a short hike with the fam. It was a nice day.
I love being active with my family. It’s fun, it’s good quality time, and it instills healthy habits in my kiddos. I hope they never let themselves travel down the dark road I did for so long. I’m much happier and healthier now than I was 140 pounds ago!
I’m having some coffee, and then hitting the hay. I’m a tired lady.
Happy (hurt-free) running, friends! Make the most of your days!
Fat to Fit 
Always the challenge of listening to your body and being hardcore about your training.
Rest when it’s needed my dear.
