Tuesday, Week 17

My right knee has been sore since last night. I think I've been pounding on it too much with all the extra intense running. I'm going to halt the running until Saturday. So, tomorrow I'm going to do the elliptical machine (instead of running) while I watch the Biggest Loser.

Today was Election Day. I woke up early (5:40am), so I decided to get up and walk over to the polling place. It was only a few minutes to walk, and I avoided the parking problems. Unfortunately, my last name put me in the looooonnnnnggggg line, so I was there for 1 1/2 hours. I would have been out of there 45 minutes earlier if my last name had started with L-Z. The whole experience was extremely frustrating, but at least I'm done.

I've been pushing myself so hard these past 3 days. I might ease up a bit next week. I'll have to see how I feel. I definitely don't want an injury. The good news is that I can now fit into 2 more pairs of work pants. I had bought them the senior year of college to go to graduate school interviews. They're some of my favorite work pants. So, that was a nice boost. I wore one of them today, and it fits perfectly.
