Monday - I could barely move and had some migraine thing going on so I didn't make it to work but made it to the chiropractor and he fixed me up with a good crunching.
Tuesday - I went to my first Columbus Blue Jackets game and they won! I even got great and cheap seats b/c I donated blood!
Wednesday - I got my nails done! I was hoping for a fall color but didn't have any luck, so I went sparkly and girly. I was happy that all of my toenails decided to stay! This fact still freaks me out!
I also came home and made a healthy dinner. A little siracha never hurt anyone!!
Thursday - I got a massage with hot stones. This was my first experience with hot stones and it was amazing! My massage therapist (MT) is pretty awesome and used scented oils on me as well. She found some inflamation in my calves still, which kind of blew my mind, but she worked it out. I left her house a happy limp noodle! And proceeded to go home and work on getting my fluids in to flush out the toxins.
Friday - I went to my first OSU and BIG 10 volleyball game. OSU was playing Nebraska. Sadly they lost 3-1 but they were 4 good games to watch and very worth the $5 ticket.
Saturday - I was a bum and enjoyed sleeping in. Then I got motivated and kept working on chopping down the baby trees in my yard, still in my pjs and slippers. Sometimes I feel sorry for my neighbors. :) I got a decent amount done and then moved all the baby trees into a pile to dry out so I can actually use my fire pit next year!
After my yard work, I made some apple crisp and went to a cousin's house for dinner. We had some great lasagna followed by pool and then a bonfire!! Yay for Smores in October!
Today- I started out bumming it b/c it was cold and I didn't want to get out of bed. After deciding to get up, I made it to the gym for the first time since the half. I walked 2 miles b/c my left foot was hurting me and then did some abs and back. I even threw in some hip exercises. This time around, I want to incorporate more things into my workouts, like core, arms and other cardio equipment.
After the gym, I made a grocery list and hit up a new store in town called Lucky's Market. The place was packed and I had to fight for a parking spot!! It's a new organic/ local/ whole foods kind of place. I really liked what I saw and got $0.20 off my bill for my reusable bags!
I came home and started making chicken noodle soup. With it getting chilly around here, I thought it was appropriate. I made it in the crockpot and the chicken took a long time to cook but it was worth it!!
On another note, I've signed up for my 3rd year of the Holiday Booty Buster Challenge. If you'd like to know more about it, just ask or you can sign up here.
What other things do you do in addition to your running? How long do you wait to get active after a half marathon?
It’s good to see that you had a great week after your half marathon. You really deserved some pampering time. And thanks to your chiro, who made sure your body is well adjusted, your cousin for keeping you company on a wonderful dinner together, and lastly, for all the good things that you experienced for the whole week. I hope you get to do more this 2014. Have a good day!
