LOVE Friday night. I am not doing anything! Time to get a glass of wine, finish my Charlaine Harris book, and chill!
The knee is acting up- totally my fault. I tried to cram in too much fun all together. After one year of being so cautious, I had a week where I just enjoyed everything a little too much. A triathlon on Saturday :) Why not a 10k on Sunday? I will just run it for fun so I can get my finisher's garment.
The legs felt fine...but I think I underestimated the impact the hills had on my knees.
And while I did run the 10k for fun and felt great the whole time...it was the next day when I felt the damage, right?
I was easy on my body the next two days... I have learned something over the past 5 years about listening to my body. :)
But I haven't learned enough. Because I still stepped on that dern soccer field Wednesday. And wouldn't it be straight out of Alanis Morrissette's "Ironic" that some guy cleated me in the knee. Oh yea, baby. I mean- cleats straight in the knee.
I begrudgingly canceled my ride for tomorrow with my good riding buddy (he had the ride planned to a T!)...there will be other weekends. And without reservation told the soccer team I will not be there next week.
So this weekend looks to be a good one of rest, recuperation, and fun! I am sleeping in tomorrow and doing some fun things like getting a massage, going to Cooper Young Fest, and aqua jogging (just kidding, not fun).
Boo that I have to work on Sunday...but yea that I get to hang out with Kari and Alisha and some other fun new friends next weekend. I need to forewarn them that I have a horrible country accent. Just be prepared.
Here is to a happy weekend and to making my knee love me again!

Ah darn it. Well hopefully nothing ice and some rest wont cure. I am starting be be sad I am not going to Tuscaloosa now. Mainly bc I want to learn more about the NFL, and i miss morning temps that dont require full leg and arm warmers.
:)
Good luck in Tuscaloosa! And how do you race in a bathing suit? I always wished I had the body to pull it off but if I were to do it there would be entirely too much jiggling going on.
No. More. Soccer.
Great race picture by the way...
HAVE FUN IN AL, GOOD LUCK DAMIE!!!!!!! :)`
