Notes:
- My pool closed on the 15th, for a whole month, for annual maintenance. A month seems like a long time! Maybe they will open it back up early – fingers crossed!
- I was in work training Tuesday and Wednesday and didn’t make the time (by getting up at 3:30 am) to run those two days so… I felt very happy when I could finally run again on Thursday! Especially after sitting for two full days!
- It was a treat to have Anne come to my class on Friday and to run together after. I miss her coming each Friday (she did before she moved).
- And it was a treat to do the half with Rachel on Saturday! Lucky me, running with friends two days in a row!
- I should have worked out on Sunday. I wasn’t sore from the race. I was just being lazy. Sigh. I am not doing a good job of getting my workouts in this month! I foresee another crap week coming up (travel), then hopefully I get my act together! I’m not training for anything, but I feel super blah.

Boo to the pool being closed a whole month 🙁 Fingers crossed that it does open up early. I hope the race went well!
I know! It just seems like SUCH a long time! I am grateful for a clean pool, but it’s the most convenient one for me to use!
Thanks, it did!
Maybe Sunday was just a blow off day nationwide – we planned on going to the gym, but it was soooo hot that we went to the movies first (Crazy Rich Asians – go see it!). And then the car was hot from sitting in the parking lot and, well, gym never happened.
It must have been! I need to look up what that movie is about. It’s a comedy, or romantic dramedy? I keep seeing people talking about it!
