Where's Stacy, you say? What happened to Stacy? Where's she been for two days. We miss her so much. We must have more of Stacy. Okay guys, that's a little much don't you think? I mean, I'm pretty great, but it was only two days. Anyway, where have I been? I worked ten hour days Thursday and Friday, so no lunch break and no energy to go workout in the evening. I think I'm done with the long days, though, at least for now. So, today I slept in really late and then realized that I needed a refill on my prescription, so I decided to run my errands today. 3 miles to and from Fred Meyer. It was cold, but I'm pretty sure it was above freezing, so it wasn't too bad. The worst part was that on the way home my belly was starting to go numb, so my shirt rubbing on it was really irritating. Had a good time with my friends Caedmon's Call and had a good stretch with my 100 lb dog trying to lay in my lap. Paul tells me that I should stick around 12:00/mile on the treadmill for the next month. That's probably a good idea. It means that I won't get too lazy and just go with what's comfortable, but I also won't push myself too hard and get injured. I'm thinking that I'll probably try to find a New Year's Eve 5k somewhere. Paul knows of a few. He told me that one of them starts at 11:30 so you can ring in the New Year. I told him that that would be great if I could finish a 5k in 30:00, but it will probably be more like 35:00 (I'm counting on some race day magic). It still kind of sounds fun. We'll see how the next month goes. OH, by the way, Paul told me that I need to change my mileage on my treadmill running days, so I'm doing that momentarily. Fun times. |
