What Did I Tell You?

For most of yesterday, my right quad was KILLING ME. Then, it suddenly worked itself out. By the time I went to the Rodeo last night, I was fine. My left achilles tendon was still smarting a bit, so I'm not going to run this morning. I might go 3 miles this afternoon, instead of the 7 I was thinking about doing. It's not bother me now, but it doesn't mean that the pain isn't there lying dormant.

I did get my car back yesterday, in exchange for $302. I was told that there was water damage in the wiring behind a license plate (the back one, I guess) and it caused a spark/small/tiny fire and destroyed some of the wires. Makes sense, except I haven't driven it through high water since last July (that freak thunderstorm that brought even freakier unexpected flooding in which I was stuck in Chuy's on Westheimer, at first the parking lot until I decided I wanted fajitas, for two hours because it was high and dry and Westheimer was a MESS). I cannot wait until my car is paid off (in a year and a half). Then I can afford any random repairs without depleting my savings account. Grrr.... On the plus side, they washed my car for me. Too bad it's going to rain today.

Oh, and it seems that I'm doing the Nike women's half. Christine talked me into it (she's doing the full again, but promises to actually train and put in a run longer than 6.2 miles before the race itself). Since there's a chance I'm doing Marine Corps the weekend after, I'm going to use it as a training run and pace myself slowly. Why hurt myself the weekend before my full? I'm only doing it for the Tiffany's necklace. Plus I'll be done and can cheer her on as she runs through the finish.

"Sing, for it's Lamastide!" Sorry, another Broadway moment.

Yesterday, after my run, I changed into my pjs and stayed on the couch until 4pm. No, I wasn't sick. I did it because I'm on Spring Break and haven't spent the day in my pjs in a long time. I read on the couch for HOURS. I'm almost done with my book (the mystery has been solved, and it now in its concluding 30 pages). I'll finish it today and then start on another new book I bought.

It's a shame that I have to continue to read new books. I have a perfectly acceptable copy of "War and Peace" that I've been wanting to continue, but SOMEBODY has been slacking on his initial reading and I can't re-start until he gets to where I am(perhaps he's afraid that I would've finished it on my Spring Break, but conveniently he can read it on his???).

Today, I'm going to take clothes to the cleaners and vacuum my car. Exciting stuff. Maybe I'll go to the movies again. "Libertine" looks interesting.

Cheers!
