Vacation

After the long week I had last week of running 38 miles we were setting out for a few days in the bay area. Monday's are always programed rest days so I know I had that little reward coming my way. Whenever I go home I always eat a lot and a lot of unhealthy stuff, because hey, its free! I did just that over the three days we were visiting. Tuesday I had every intention of going on a run, but just "didn't get around to it". Maybe my body was telling me I needed it. I ended up taking two days off in a row and my feet certainly needed it. I decided to lance the blisters Tuesday night and let them drain. I probabily got around 5 ccs out of two of them, not bad. Wednesday we set out to swim laps at the pool I grew up working at. We did around 2000 yards and I had enough. I can certainly feel when my nutrition is out of wack. I also did not drink a lot of water like I usually do before working out. All in all, it was a great vacation because before we left we took a look at one final house. Turns out it was the house of our dreams and we found out on our drive home that we got it! We started the complicated loan process while we were visiting. Hopefully the process continues. Perfect example of how running serves as an outlet from the stressers of life!
