Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast. Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else.
Rain! Ugh, I was so happy this past week when I was able to get outside and train in warm weather! Then, the rains came in and it got colder again. Friday I was supposed to run 6 miles and Saturday bike 25 miles.
I don’t necessarily mind running in the rain – or biking, although the bike doesn’t necessarily like it, but this was a fairly hard rain that didn’t want to let up.
When I got home Friday night, there was a break in the rain. However, I didn’t get home until just before six. I tried to get my husband to “talk me out of going for my run and sitting on the couch with him”. He didn’t bite, so I said I was only going to do three miles and asked him if he could have supper ready for me when I got back.
I headed out and got about a mile and a half in and realized I would have gotten into the run and completed the entire six miles, but since I had asked my hubby for supper I did my three miles and headed in. Next time I try to talk myself out of one of my workouts you can bet I’m going to remember that!
Saturday morning was still a bit on the chilly side, but the rain stopped. I headed out right away in the morning knowing it was just a break and that the rains were going to return. Got my 25 miles in, but boy were my shoulders sore the rest of the week.
I thought it was related to my shoulder injury from a few weeks ago, but on Sunday I realized it was just sore muscles and had my husband rub them out. Boy did I feel better after that!
Thanks for joining me this week. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
