Day 375

Today was the first full day of our protected weekend for February, and I accomplished so much! I started the day by going to Slow Mode and tackling a 10-mile run. I have been working on switching from run 2/walk 1 intervals to run 4/walk 1, and today I did 10 miles a 4/1! I think that's my longest run ever with those intervals. (I did the Baton Rouge Beach Half Marathon at 3/1 intervals in December.)

After I came home and showered, Richard and I did one of our favorite things and went to Costco for hot dogs, bulk shopping, and gas for my car. Then, I cleaned out my trunk and rediscovered several shirts and CDs that I've been carting around for months.

All of that fun wore us out, so we took a nap. Then, I made chili, did all of the laundry in the house, and baked a king cake. I also did a little bit of reading and writing, though tomorrow is going to be a more productive day as far as school goes.

Race weekends are fun, but protected weekends at home are pretty majestic too. I'm digging this balance.

Something that made today great: Spending most of the day with Richard

Time I woke up: 7:15 am
