The Week in Review

I can run again! Put a gel heel insert on the side that was bothering me and things are much improved! Ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill and then did another 30-40 minute trail run. :) Feels good to be back! The front of my shins were bothering me after the trail run as well as my right knee but I think that might be due to not stretching well enough before hand. Bad me! I am in Virginia for the weekend! Took my parents puppy out for a jog/walk this morning and the jogging downhill part seems to have cleared up the tightness in my shins! Feels good to be home again. Stayed up late-ish drinking wine, eating peanut butter cookies and reading. Its been a while since I've had the focus to pick up a book and read. The 8+ hour car ride was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Connor was a doll. He entertained himself for the majority of the trip and was a real cutie at the rest stop where we ate lunch. Right now I am enjoying some really delicious coffee made in my parent's new Keurig Coffee maker. Was disappointed to discover that they spent 150 bucks on the thing, otherwise I might have considered adding one to my collection of kewl kitchen appliances. I think it just might make the perfect cup of coffee! Not sure what I was thinking when I packed because I brought next to nothing for myself. Was weird to discover that I fit into all my little sister's clothes anyhow so I needn't have bothered to pack anything anyways! :) I wonder how far I could get with my parent's dog before they noticed he was missing....he is such a sweetie. Loaded with energy, but with a little bit of training he'd be fine. Make a great running partner over the winter. In addition to the running, also got some good strength training sessions in. Haven't been out bicycling yet, but I brought everything with me so I can hopefully get out today or tomorrow. Funny I didn't remember to pack PJs, but the bike I remembered! lol....
