Sunday: Lovely Run and Boston is Eight Days Away


I slept so late this morning. It was lovely, though Ivan and I had to scramble to get to church this morning. As we were scrambling, Ivan pooped in the shower and spilled water on the bathroom floor, and then stood on the back of the toilet and suddenly services were starting without us.
Now, I finally got my run in at around 6:30 PM, and it might have been one of the nicest runs I have ever had. Evening Spring weather is such a nice cool run. I got in 6.5 miles at a reasonable taperish pace and just thoroughly enjoyed myself.
At home, I gave Ivan a bath and we again had a pooping incident. It is apparently just one of those days. I gave up and confession: I had Yogurt World for dinner.
Now, tomorrow, my taper schedule says that I should run for about 45 minutes and only do 45 minutes of my swim. I can only swim 2000 yards. What the what? I am at a loss, truly at a loss. Do I just get in the pool and paddle around and then come home? This will be an interesting week, and I am going to get in a lot of knitting and such. I might even polish all my knee boots.
Also, I can't hike with the Bambino Brigade on Wednesday, so I might go to the mall and just putz around; just have myself some Teavana and finally buy myself a Bugaboo cup holder. I have wanted one since the summer, and I just haven't had the time. Life holds so many possibilities when you are tapering. Adventures, luxuries, and more, I have time for it all!!!!
