I’ve been aboard the struggle bus lately when it comes to my training runs. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL, PEOPLE! I’ve been inconsistent at best when it comes to weekday running. But I vowed to get back on the Horse this week.
And I did!
3.1 miles Monday night. 1.5 miles of speed work Tuesday. 3 Miles BEFORE work this morning. 4-5 miles tomorrow and 10-13 on Sunday. We’ll play that one by ear.
But here’s the thing: for a few weeks now, my legs, specifically my quads have been so sore. Like, they feel exhausted when I run, no matter the time of day. Is this because:
- I need more sleep?
- I worked (and stood for 4 hours) at Corky last night?
- I sit most of the day at the station?
- I’m a wimp and need to power through it?
Maybe a combo of all of these. But today’s run was kind of eh. I’m hoping sleep will help and I can have a good couple of runs this weekend.
In other news:
- I had a blast at Corky last night. I met this great couple (the wife was hilarious!) I told her some of my dating stories. She told me how she and her hubby met and married at age 18. 12 years and 3 kids later, still together and very much in love. Adorable. Insta-friend, you know what I mean? I even gave her my blog address! (hi Rachel!) By the end of the night she was teasing me and told me to get my “whore mouth out of here!” (dating story throwback). I died laughing when she was horrified by what she said. Good stuff.
- I have a 2nd date tonight with this guy from last week. The guy I went out with Wednesday night on our first date was BORING. I started yawning midway through the date! Whoops. I said to myself, “I grow weary of this dating game.” Seriously. I’m over it. If things don’t pan out with this guy tonight, I’m taking another dating break for the summer. I just can’t even anymore. Ya know? He has been texting me everyday, which is nice.
- Thanks for all the kind comments on my cheek mishap. Good news? I’m fine. It went away to just a pink spot by the evening. No lasting damage.
- I have the weekend off from Corky, heading home for Easter with the fam. I’m also getting my hair cut and colored tomorrow. It’s getting crazy long.
- See?
- Note how flat it is with any curl in it? This is why I have to do my hair everyday. Its not a good look otherwise.
Well, have a wonderful Easter weekend friends!
