So I've been working with my chiropractor and my massage therapist doing this technique called Craniosacral therapy. It's really interesting and seems to be helping. It is a method that helps your body simmer down a bit and tune into what it really needs. I have certain areas of my body that are more jacked up than others but my body can't get a chance to fix those areas if it's always consumed with stuff like fighting dust mites and dander and molds and pollen. My body is a busy busy bee fighting all of these things that normal people can fight. It's tiring, let me tell you. So that's something new I am pursuing to see if it'll help.
Saturday was the 10K training series. 6.2 miles is a long way to run. I am proud to say I finished :) My time wasn't as good as before but hey, I wasn't sitting on the couch and I was huffing and puffing to get my butt across that finish line. David and Lloyd were the first two of our group to finish. Mel was next, then Natalie, then myself. It was definitely a challenging experience and I know for a fact that the mini is going to be super hard. It was around mile 5 that my muscles wanted to give out. I actually looked at Natalie and said WTF are we doing?" The mini is actually more that double what we ran on saturday so there's a lot of training that need to be done in the mean time. The 15K is in about a month and that's 9.3 miles so we shall see how that goes. My knee is really aggrivated but I have an appt. on thursday with the chiro :) This doesn't seem to be the best sport for my body anymore (since I'm no longer a pre-pubescent high schooler) but it's on my bucket list so I want to be able to cross it off. I'm actually running more now in one session that I ever have before in my life. In high school I was a sprinter so the longest I did was a mile. THAT seemed like a long distance at that time... little did I know, it gets much scarier than that! ;)
David and I are moved into the house and it's beautiful :) We still have to finish up some items at the apartment. We need to paint and clean. We sent away our fish last night. I cried. Leo and Sticky were good fish. The tank was just a lot of upkeep. They seemed like they were happy and just swam away but it still doesn't help the feeling like we were just giving up on them. I know, I know, they are fish but they depended on us. We took them in and took care of them. I hope they are well.
I have been really really weak, sore, achy... I can't seem to get the right words for how I feel but worn down is the general sensation. It could be stress, it could be the race, it could be moving, who knows? All I know is I am pooped and need to rest. Maybe tonight after work I can curl up with a book and just relax.
