| | So sore today from my tennis match last night, especially the calves and obliques. I have a black toenail too, for once not from running! Went to swim, but for some reason was so popular and circle swimming is so not my style (especially with 1 guy faster than me and 1 guy way slower than me = recipe for disaster) so I just did 5 laps (250 yards) then did 30 minutes on the elliptical instead. Then one hour Centergy. |

| | I woke up in the middle of the night last night because my ankles were sooo itchy. Put some aloe on (in the dark), went back to sleep. Woke up, shower time, cue scream. With blotchy red marks all over my arms and legs, I am an alien. Fast forward 3 hours of waiting at urgent care later, and they have confirmed what the internet already told me - I'm allergic to penicillin (including the amoxycillin they had me take after I had my wisdom tooth out). SO ITCHY!! And did I mention ITS ON MY FACE?????????? Oh yeah, and it will take 3 days to go away. Lovely. The major danger is if I ever accidentally take it again, apparently. Fast forward a little more, ran 4 incredibly sluggish miles around the neighborhood with Cooper. I'll blame it on thinking about how itchy I was and the 2 Benadryls I had just taken beforehand. I wore a hat and shielded my face so not to scare the kiddos. :-) TOO ITCHY!

| | 5 miles at the gym track after another loonngggg Tuesday (3 classes, meetings, tons of work crammed in between). Only one more super long Tuesday of the quarter to go. Did a fast 2nd mile, it was around 7:37. After that felt sluggish though. Did some squats/lunges/plank after 4 (thought I was done) but Justin was still running so I did one more mile. Allergic rash is much much better, thank goodness. Did use about a whole tube of concealer on my face this morning. Didn't sleep much at all last night because the Benadryl made me take a nap before bed and then couldn't seem to hold off the itchiness - too itchy to sleep! Hopefully tonight's not the same. |

| | This would have been day #60. Decided to give it up. It served its purpose (I lost my injury/holiday 5 pounds and got back into cross-training/strengh-training), time to move on! |

| | 5 lovely miles at BPA trail with Lisa, Anya, and baby Denali (I got to push the BOB!). I think it was 55 minutes, AP 11:00. Can't wait for the Lincoln City 10K/Half Marathon running weekend this weekend! |

| | Perfect perfect perfect day in Lincoln City. Woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep, no one else was up so I took Cooper to the beach and walked about 2-3 miles, so calm, not a breath of wind, blue sky, some SUN. A miracle. As I was just starting to head up Kasey came down with her dog Kenzie so we did 2-3 more miles walking on the beach with the dogs. Then we got back and headed out to do the Drift Creek Falls hike, which is about 3 miles, about 800 feet of elevation drop/gain I think. Then when we got back we went to the beach with the dogs again! So basically Cooper had the best day of his LIFE. |
