This weekend was exactly what I needed to re-charge my batteries. I finally got a few days to simply relax. No rushing around, no long car rides, no moving. Just relaxing. I watched all 3 Dodger games. All 3 were wins. We now have a 1.5 game lead in the West which a pretty great feeling. I got to see the Eagles dominate the Rams. I won both fantasy football leagues I'm in. Watched a movie. Layed on the couch all weekend with Amanda. Drank mimosas on Saturday morning. Life was very good.
The only thing that was a slight bummer was my run on Sunday morning. Amanda and I had planned on 18 miles. My longest so far has been 16 and I've done that twice. I know I'm ready both physically and mentally for 18 but my left quad wouldn't let me finish. It felt fine last weekend after the race but I tweaked in during Tuesday night's 6 mile run. It felt sore all week, including my 6 mile run on Friday night. I had a feeling it wouldn't let me finish 18 miles and I was right. After about 8 I knew that if I pushed myself any further I could potentially put myself out for longer than necessary. I'm glad I decided to call it quits because I'm feeling better today and I think after another day or two I'll be back to 100%.
And now it's back to reality. Another busy week, but another empty weekend to look forward to in just a few days!
