Manic Monday…

So that restorative weekend I thought I was going to have, the one where I would get caught up on things and go into the week feeling a little more prepared? Kinda went out the window. You make plans, God laughs. I did get a lot done, just not all that I’d hoped for. Oh well, such is life.

My run wasn’t spectacular yesterday. It was good, don’t get me wrong, but also not what I’d hoped for. I wanted another 10-miler, but I was feeling it in my hips by mile 5, so I stopped short. It was pain I could’ve worked through, but why? I’m two weeks out from a big race, I know that I can cover the distance, I was also having some anxiety about things that needed to get done. There was no reason to push myself through another lap at the park. A couple of pics from the run…

North Park is beautiful this time of year. This pic doesn’t do it proper justice, but lovely nonetheless.

Artsy Garmin and shoe shot. Need to work on my skills, but fun to play around with some of the stuff I see all the time on IG.

No pics from the last race, which is a little disappointing. I don’t think their photographers were out in force–I didn’t see a lot of cameras to cheese for. Also the problem with being slightly faster–I’m more likely to be in a crowd when I pass the cameras so they’re less likely to get a clear shot of me. But that’s fine, usually race photos aren’t that great anyway.

Another busy week ahead of me, guess it’s time to get started. Have a great week!
