Happy Tuesday! This week’s Tuesday Topic is a FREE topic. Feel free to post any running-related blog post. Remember to link up with Jenn and Zenaida! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Remember to come back for later linkers!
Let me tell you how January went for me:
Mileage: In January I ran 4.02 and walked .68 miles. I started off the new year on a good note and ran on the 1st and 2nd of January, but then stopped. I went back to work, was stressed about the closing for my new house, and then it got cold.
Remember how a few years ago when I did my run streak, the cold or the snow didn’t stop me from running outside?
Run the Year 2025: I signed up to run and walk 2,025 miles this year. So far I have completed 4.07 miles (per the RTE Tracker). I know I have a lot of work to do here. This year I am determined to meet this goal.
Current Book: I am currently reading “Honor”. I know Wendy has read this book, but anyone else? I like it, but reading about the mistreatment of women makes me angry.
Injuries: Nothing new. Some days I have less plantar fasciitis pain than other days. Sometimes I wake up feeling stiff and walk like a penguin when I go to the bathroom. I haven’t been to the chiropractor or have gotten a massage since November. I had to stop because my mom was in the hospital, then the rehab center, and then at home. I do plan to go back again.
Races: None.
Health: For the most part I am feeling OK. I rarely get any hot flashes. They are worse and more frequent in the Summer.
I don’t bring work home like I used to. And if I do bring it home, there is no guarantee that I will do it. I spend my days after school either setting up things in the new house, reading, and watching TV. Currently, I am watching “The Blacklist” and am liking it.
School: It is the same song here. I have OK days, bad days, and awful days. Yesterday was our 100th day in school. I cannot wait to be done with this school year.
What I am looking forward to next month: Move to my new house! I bought a kitchen table and living room furniture. Both will be delivered on Saturday. I bought many new things (plates, cups, silverware, etc.) and have been setting it up slowly. Moving is quite a task. I haven’t even started to pack up my stuff in the apartment.
The topic for next week – Ways that running helps the Winter blues. Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
Favorite Day: My birthday! I turned 52 and am still fifty and fabulous. 😊
