Yesterday was a great day, but it didn’t go as planned.
I woke up early for an 8am client who no-showed. Womp womp.
I had then planned for a 6 mile run with Stacy. She had 13 on the books and
agreed to meet me at 9 to run. Unfortunately when I woke up it was 15 degrees,
0 with the wind chill and winds clocking in around 15-20mph. I texted Stacy to
see if we could run later around 10 or 11 in hopes that it warmed up a bit.
No such luck. It did warm up to 20 degrees, but the wind
increased to 20-30 mph gusts. In the end I wimped out. I didn’t do my Sunday long
run. I felt so guilty all day and really had a hard time accepting that I didn’t
run until around 2pm.
Greg, Matt and I
ventured into downtown Boston to get some shopping/errands done. We headed back
to the red line around 2 and had to walk through the park. The wind was blowing
hard! It was so so so cold. My nose hurt and my eyes were watering non-stop.
This was enough validation that I had made the right decision. The wind alone
would have made me miserable. I guess looking at the big picture I’m happy it
was a 6 mile run I missed, not a 13-16 mile run.
I’m not entirely sure what to do about my missed run in
terms of my training. I thought about just adding on a mile to each run this
week? Bad plan? Great plan? I’m not sure, but I'm determined to figure it out.
After a little shopping with the boys, I headed to the gym
for a quick workout on the bike and then had 2 clients.
The best part of the day, or the week, maybe even in the
last few months came at 6:30.
Greg and I had reservations for Craige on Main to celebrate
Valentines day/our anniversary. I know I know, we already went out to dinner
for that a few weeks ago but this dinner seemed extra special.
Greg and I sat at the Chefs Table. This meant we sat at a bar in front of the open kitchen so
we could see and hear EVERYTHING that was going on in the kitchen. Greg said it
best that it was like watching the foodnetwork for 3 hours. It was amazing! The
kitchen staff was cool calm and fairly collected when this got stressful and
busy and we watched them relax and chatter when it was slower.
Our dinner was 100% amazing! I’ll blog a post later all
about our meal and what we ate, loved, and were too full to finish!
Onto running…
This week:
