Feeling Blah

The Saturday meeting was fun! I was surprised to learn the youngest MM participant is 17 and our oldest is 70! Too cool! The lining up by age & birthday was fun, too. I found a birthday buddy (we were both born 3/8/1968), but I forgot her name :( I am TERRIBLE with names. Maybe the blogging will help with that. I completed the 1.5 miles in a little over 21 minutes. Don't know why I can't seem to consistently run/jog in colder temps. Perhaps I should be more intentional in getting acclimated to that, since after all, we'll running in the Windy City.

As for the title to today's post, some of you ladies might relate. I had wondered how this training would affect my cycles. I still feel blah & achey, so that hasn't changed (boo-hiss). But, the aches aren't bad enough for me to take Tylenol yet. Wonder if I should skip today's workout (Rex's step class at the "Y") & stay home & rest? Nah, think I might just tough it out. Sunday, I ran a mile in about 11:30--not my best time--walked another mile, & did the Tony Little workout when I got home.

Forgot to mention I had a "Girl's Night Out" with my cousins/friends Saturday night in celebration of my dear friend/cousin Monica who's 39 (we're about 4 weeks apart in age--she'd KILL me for publishing her age like that). We went to dinner at Las Margarita's and had chimichangas. Guess who cleaned her plate???

Don't feel bad about clearing your plate at Margarita's. It's their fault for having the best chimichangas around. I've been wondering about the whole cycle thing too. I wonder how many of the marathoners are women? maybe there should be a mini-session for women, to address issues like this one.
