Things I have done lately:

• Blog
• Weight training/ab exercises (although this week I have been bad)
  
• Meh, I read a little Spanish last night. That's it.
• Cooked one thing he liked; planning on more

That means I need to make more time for the things I want to do!

Big! Lots

Have you ever actually been into a Big! Lots (or is it Big Lots!)?

I just stumbled into one. I would describe it as a mix between Wal Mart and Marshalls Home Goods, but way messier. There was just stuff piled everywhere with no intent of ever being organized. And about 1/3 of the store was Christmas paraphernalia.

I didn't buy anything, but they seemed to have some good deals on home decorating items.

(This is my 100th post. I'm glad it was on such a pressing and compelling topic.)

Injured :(

So here I was, having a totally rocking week of working out, logging miles and speed and strength and feeling great, and gearing up for my first 8-miler since the marathon... And then PAIN.

Knee pain. And not left IT band knee pain. Random all over right knee pain. And leg pain. What is going on?

I set out on my 8-miler yesterday, in the amazing, warm, not-November weather, and my right leg just plain started to hurt. The wind and sun didn't help, but I had to turn around 1.5 miles out because there was no way I should finish with that pain.

UGH. So, instead of 19 miles I logged 15.64 miles. Not terrible, but still, just grr. I don't like injuries. Especially mysterious ones.

I rested from running today and will rest until it heals. Not taking chances.
