I am still lame as the weekend wears on, making my Saturday blog post late Sunday morning. I am back home from my sojourn in Liverpool and feeling quite tired. I went for a run both mornings I was there and got lost both times. This is as usual when I visit my sister Diane. I swear the streets in the area where she lives were laid out based on a plate of spaghetti. I set out to do 20-minute runs and ran for 31 minutes on Saturday and an hour today!
On the brighter side, on today’s run I petted two dogs and twice got directions from nice people (I got confused following the first set of directions, what a surprise). I also felt pleased that my body stood up to the abuse. I walked but did not run every day since last weekend. So I guess I haven’t lost what fitness I gained training for the Boilermaker 15K.
Not the sneakers I ran in.
I took this picture after the run, a shower, and putting on party clothes. I did not just sit around; I helped get ready for my niece Camille’s graduation party, the occasion for my visit. It was a wonderful party. I saw members of my family, some of Diane’s in-laws, and a number of friends, including some new ones.
And now I am home and wishing I had made it to the grocery store last week. However, I cannot do everything. At least I finally made my Saturday blog post.
