a few notches more than just firm
another weekend in the books. friday night we were able to meet up with pat, katie and charlotte for some dinner and play. it was really nice to see them - i sure wish we could make it happen more often. they were in town for the madison 50k that was held saturday morning. pat bettered his time on the course but was bested by one person finishing 2nd - a great result!
saturday morning we packed up and headed north to gresham/shawano. it was baby shower/family reunion weekend. i packed according to the weather forecast and all of the bums were off by 20 degrees. 20 f-ing degrees? i brought short sleeves and a light jacket when i should have had a wool shirt, down vest and heavy jacket. the (outdoor) party still ended up being nice if not cold.
sleeping in a different bed than your own can be tough. it isn't that the bed you are sleeping in is bad, it's that you are just not used to it. well, the beds at my in-laws (all of them) are the firmest mattresses that i have every experienced. between that, being outside in the damp cold and running friday/sunday i'm feeling very old, very achy and very tired. we went to bed 1.5 hours early last night - i can't image how poorly i'd feel without that extra sleep.
training for the week:
m: 1:45 (bike commute)
t: 1:15 (bike commute)
w: 1:15 (bike commute)
r: 1:10 (bike commute)
f: 0:45 (run)
s: 0
n: 0:35 (run)
total: 6:45
yesterday's run in particular felt terrible. i'm sure due to the same thing that is making me feel pretty dire this morning. it has been a rough 3 weeks. it is looking like we will be taking a trip to EC this weekend and then (hopefully) we'll be home for a couple of weekends.
happy monday.
