Notes:
- I got to swim this week, yay! It felt good to be back in the pool, even though it took me a while to get used to breathing in the water again.
- It was a treat to have cool temps on the weekend! Oddly, those were my worst runs of the week. I completely bonked a 4 miler and quit at 3.6 (huh?) and had a bathroom emergency during my long run on Sunday. Eh. Sh*t happens. Heh.
Themocracy
Sh@t happens indeed, ha ha! Martina is in Ireland now and I’m so jealous she got to do her run today in low temps!
Ooo, what a lucky duck!
Yay for being able to swim again but boo to not being able to fully enjoy the runs in the cooler weather. Hope that changes 🙂
It will!
