So, about that race on Sunday...I spent Saturday night at a local Wellfleet bar with friends and when I woke up at 6:30 on Sunday morning I made the executive decision that the race was not going to happen. I actually wasn't that hungover, I was more exhausted, hadn't really prepared my stomach for the race, and my skin was VERY burned. I wasn't beating myself up over it too much, until I looked at the results and realized I would have most likely finished in the top 10 for women - bummer. Oh well - it was a small race, so no big deal.
The weekend was very lazy in terms of exercising. I didn't run on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Finally, when I got home from the 3+ hour drive, I decided it was time to start again. I went for a 4+ miler along the Charles and enjoyed some early evening heat. Yesterday I ran about 5 miles at lunch and the skin on my back did that wonderful bubbly thing. Today I did a little over 5 miles again at lunch and my skin was even more bubbly (this time I was wearing a tank top, so everyone got to bear witness). You'd think I'd try to cover up my burn, but I can't resist the desire to get more sun all of the time!
Not too much else to report at the moment. Senioritis at work has taken hold and I can't concentrate on anything - blogging included!
