So, another day off, and the last I’ll be able to take this week, heck, that makes 3 since the race

I have needed it though and feel energized to get back to doing things.

Since my long bricks are moving to Sunday, I will be able to go back to running on Saturdays with my old group out of False Creek. They are doing a clinic thing aiming towards the Thanksgiving Marathons which matches pretty well with my doing Portland.

Of course I won’t be able to run with them every week, Ironman is the priority, but I don’t see why I can’t run with them periodically and get some extra distance in. Really though, I will just enjoy running with that group, it’s been ages since I’ve seen them and while I won’t be running fast at all, I’ll still get to hang with them after the run for coffee or tea.

Injury wise I’m feeling a bit tight and stiff in the glute still, and I’ve pinched a nerve or something in my arm that’s causing it to spasm when I clench or twist. It is VERY weird and frustrating. And painful. I’ll give it a few more days before worrying about it though, unless it hurts when I swim. Then I’ll worry right away

Tomorrow morning Miranda goes to camp for a week. My clever excuse to relax and not train will go with her I’ve enjoyed the rest this week though and as I said, I needed it. Miranda looks forward to this camping trip for months before and talks about it for months after. She will be going with two friends this year and is even more excited than normal. It’s awesome to see in her.
