I'm up and getting ready for a long run. Hoping for 6-10 miles, not sure exactly how many I'm going to do. It's cool this morning (65*) but wicked humid (95%).
Taking it easy today with a 4m neighborhood loop. Getting ready for DD1's pool party tonight (in 60 degree rain, omg) Don't think there will be much swimming. 11yo can entertain themselves, right?!

I've been up and working for almost 2 hours. I might hit the gym later. I've mostly taking this week off of working out in favor of catching up on alterations, and my back (from leaning over machine) and legs (because I stand when I work) are absolutely killing me. I just have to get through today's appointment blitz between nine and one, and then I can take the rest of the day to breathe
Lounging with coffee. Biking to the gym for body pump and a swim, then biking home.
Our LRS/tri shop is having a sale with all apparel at least 50% off, so I'm heading there. Also hitting up the tri guy to sell me a wetsuit at cost after the 70.3 debacle.
Up. Having coffee, studying a bit and watching college game day. Might do a couple miles and some ab work. Then more studying and football game this afternoon.
I set my alarm to get up and run, woke up and lay in bed listening to the rain and said, ahhhh...no. We're getting ip ass early tomorrow for biking, and I may want fresh legs for that anyway. I'll run monday. On tired as hell legs, so better tri training anyway?
I did 20 miles this morning. It took me 2:38. Then I attempted to fill my body with prosecco. I'm on a train; I think it's going to my village. Night night.

I'm up - just got home from walking Missy to Starbucks for a coffee with R. It's a mile and a half round trip and significantly uphill on the way there, so that counts as exercise, right? It's 8:30 am and already 86 freaking degrees out, so I'm not doing anything else today.
This afternoon I'm getting a haircut and going thrift shopping with a friend.

I did 15.5 this morning - 14 pace, 1.5 cool down. Glad to take a breakfast break in the middle at 10, because my friend's flight arrived early and we were meeting for breakfast. I finished the other 4 when I got home, and I skipped the other 2.5 cool down scheduled because I have a 7k tomorrow morning and felt like I'd be fine without 2.5 slow miles (rule follower over here).
Anyway, this was the "nailed it" run I needed this entire cycle. I have been struggling mentally and I think I finally got the balance of salt tabs and liquid/nutrition right. I wasn't really struggling and the entire run was progressive. This was an unexpected mental boost today!
ETA: and I almost forgot, my hip barely hurt at all, not even noticeable! This has been such a long recovery but it's working, albeit slowly.
Guys, I am so tired. I forgot what kind of tired this is. I ate half a large pizza, a red velvet cupcake, snuggled with my dog, and I am considering going to sleep at 5pm.

We hiked nine miles today. Lake Tahoe is my happy place. Now I'm looking at real estate listings, fantasizing about buying a country house. I'm a city girl through and through but I would LOVE a place in the mountains.

Tahoe is my happy place too. Let me know if you want to take a look at some houses. I , uh, "know a guy" as it were.
