What's up with the Weather?
Today started off hot and got hotter with every passing second. I half expected the pool to have no lanes when I arrived there tonight, but luckily there was some... and almost no people in the pool! Yay! We shared the lane with one other woman who is training for something, but she stopped so few times that I couldn't even chat to her to say hi. She must be a swimmer and not a runner. Runners like to chatter here and there :)
Afterwards we went to the track and had some macaroni and cheese (that I made from scratch last night) next to the track. Andy had packed us plates and appletizer and everything! Of course I couldn't go straight into a run, so we walked around the track afterwards for a while to let the food settle before we started jogging.
My legs felt incredibly heavy. Almost like I had tied a house to them and was trying to pull it apart, brick by brick. So we stopped and stretched. And jogged again. Somewhere I become comfortable and settled into a pace that didn't feel awkward.
Afterwards I stretched and relaxed and the ride home was heaven. It meant I didn't have to stand on my feet, although I had to use them to drive. After standing at work for the better half of 8 hours, I was definitely ready to get off my feet.
Tomorrow there's no swimming, but an hour of running. I'm going to have to find an excuse to write a spec at work tomorrow so I can stay off my feet :)
