Decided to skip last night due to a flareup of ITBS (hurting down the thigh, which has not happened to me before) and overall dead legs. Then thought about getting up to run this morning, but decided another 90 minutes of sleep was worth more than an 8-miler. So I got 5 done right after work at the AC, before my access to the AC goes away next week. Went all right. no ITB problems. A llittle tizanidine before bedtime last night seemed to help. Probably will do 16 tomorrow, but who knows. We'll see how I feel and what the weather is doing; chance of rain, which would be OK with me. Tyler's survived his first week at school and some -- SOME -- of the early anxiety seems to be subsiding. Now if he can just figure out how to form some bonds with his classmates. |
