Not sure whether or not I’m injured but since I didn’t have pain and it was no worse, I went back to weekday runs and preparing for my half marathon…

Last Week –

• Sunday – A bunch of my running friends and I signed up to run the High Lawn Farms Keep Moo’ving 5k.

As you probably know, it rains whenever I have a race and so of course, it was raining when I woke up.  It is a long drive for this race and with no guarantee that it would stop raining, we decided to skip the race.

Of course, it did stop raining… BOO! I was disappointed.

But I caught up on some home projects and then went for a long walk with a friend.

bumped into our favorite cat on the rail trail…

I ended the day with dinner and drinks out…

• Monday – WFH until Thursday so I was able to start the day with a run…

I did run with Deirdre but forgot a sweaty selfie (it was humid!!)

After my run, I had to stop by my office so I had to get Starbucks first…

I love when you get messages on the cup…

In the evening, I had my pickleball lesson… I had fun but not sure  if I am improving at all …LOL

• Tuesday – My friend Jenny is training for Marine Corps so she recruited me to run with her early (5:30 am). She ran her own plan and I did my run/walk intervals and after we walked and chatted.

foot felt no worse so I’m staying the course

I even had time before work to soak in the hot tub.

• Wednesday – Started the day at the gym and then after work I went to set up for the next  day.

On the way home, I planned to either walk or run…When I looked at the temp in my car and it said 96 degrees, I quickly changed my mind.

Instead, I went to a fundraiser…

the food was awesome!!

• Thursday – Today was the first of two days of live teaching…

After work, I went to see my chiro.  She said that everything looked much improved and we agreed that I didn’t need to see her any longer…

and then I had to attend my ZOOM STEM board meeting (instead the weekly trail run.) Since it was raining, I wasn’t that disappointed to miss the run.

• Friday – Back to live teaching… Nothing exciting except for my coffee…

After dinner, I played mah jongg..

• Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.

Since my hubby was playing tennis and I wanted to do my long run, we decided to go up to the lake separately

I was super glad to have Sherry and Stan along to drag get me through the 10 miles and a dark n stormy as my recovery drink.

Things felt good until mile 8 and then the achilles felt sore. I should have quit but I finished the 10 miles…

the weather was perfect!!

I relaxed my achy foot the rest of the day and read a whole book..

I didn’t go home til later that evening…

• Sunday – Plan on the gym and then a party for my MIL who is turning 100!!

I am going to PT this week and maybe resting the foot AGAIN…
