I made it out to the track yesterday and it felt pretty good considering how things have been going - I had to do 1k reps and some 200s which were hard work, but it felt pretty good - it is definitely better getting out and running in real life! My times weren't amazing, but I am not too broken up about it, as it was still pretty cold - about 3 degrees Celcius and I was on my own on a lonely track. Just glad I stuck it out.
And tonight was positive too - I went out to check out this Spokane running club, the Flying Irish. Super fun! They do a pub run around Riverfront Park once a week, and K told me she heard they have some folks that do a longer run on the Bloomsday route. So I checked it out ~ I guess it is the off season but there were probably about 40 folks out there - apparently they get upwards of 400 people out in the spring and summer, supposedly making them the second largest club running night in the world, or something like that. The run was good (but dark) - it was really nice to be out running with some folks who like running! The pub was good fun too - there were lots of chatty people and it was fun to catch up with people to talk about the same things that I do when I am at our pub nights! Makes me miss my guys in London!
Other things are going okay here - dad has been doing pretty well. We did lots of errands in the last couple days which wore him out a bit. But he got lots of time on his feet and had to work his legs a bit. We got to Costco, which is always a joy, and he felt like getting lobster tails, so he and I had a feast last night when everyone else realised they had to be elsewhere! Anything that he gets excited about eating, we try to provide - keep him bulking up!
Else is much the same - weather has been a bit better, and tonight was a gorgeous night with a full moon, which helps!
