Notes:
- I accidentally bonked my Monday run. I didn’t really eat a proper lunch or afternoon snack and was low on energy. Oops.
- At the start of Saturday’s ride I was loving it. I was out on my road bike, testing out my new shoes (I am trying to find ones that don’t make my toes go numb) and felt so fast and strong. Then I turned into the wind and the sound of the wind in my ears made me so absolutely miserable and stabby. Ugh. I’d like to wear headphones or earplugs but that’s not safe! Still glad I got it in. My butt was so sore later Saturday and today! (Ahh, and I just remembered another thing that was making me nuts – my hair kept coming out of the hair tie since it’s so short now, and then I couldn’t see in my bike mirror – all I saw was my hair.)
- I had nice weather (again!) for my long run. I was dead tired though and was listening to podcasts so the pace was really slow for me. Every now and then my left knee would be like “hey I’m here.” I hope it doesn’t crap out on me again, but I haven’t been doing strength and I am overweight so It would not be a surprise if it did!
