Sept. 16

Went with Leo and he had his blood work done - all looks good - numbers are coming up slowly. I went for my walk/run and again, it felt even worse. My legs just didn't want to do anything...I don't understand...I've been eating good and feel good otherwise...but I just don't have any "oomph" in my legs...it's like they are weighted down with lead. I did 3 miles (instead of the assigned 4) in 48 minutes (16 min/mile). I came home and Andy and Delia were awake and Leo took the day off so we had a picnic with Sara close to her work and Delia got to play on the playground. To say Delia is an amazingly cute, brilliant, personality PLUS, sweet, and cute as a bug little girl...is an understatement (you know this is Grandma talk!). We had so much fun today...every minute was pure delight!! I emailed Rachel and asked her what I should do about my run tomorrow...I don't want to overtrain and I'm wondering if my body has reached it's limits. Rachel said for me to take off tomorrow and Friday and have fun with Delia, and be rested for the Saturday run of 12 miles. That sounded like great news to me! It also gives me more time and energy to spend with Andy and Delia!
