May 10: 8x 4(1) run 3.3/4.1 miles in Forest Park, solo
May 12: 2.65 miles in TGP with LA, no planned walk intervals!
May 17: 3.21 miles NO WALK to Compton Heights, solo
May 19: 2.65/3.06 miles to hilly Lyon Park, with LA, walk as needed
Busy busy last week! Lots going on, but first the focus on RUNNING! As in, I'm running without having to walk! The couch to 10K plan now has me running 30-35 mins "easy". It's funny now as I'm running I'm waiting for the interval timer to buzz my wrist. haha!
LA joins as he can, and we walk if and when needed. The TGP loop was a big goal for me, I wanted to run the loop. Next goal is to run without the walk break. We didn't walk much, but I'm looking forward to this incremental goalage.
My body and hips and all going great. No symptoms of anything. I had a GI fallout last Thursday morning with the type of RUQ pain I had back in 2014. I was up all night for it. But it came a few hours and went and that was it. No other usual T=6 or T=7 issues like before. Stress caused it?
What else going on? Been going to his house in St Robert to prep it to sell. 4 hours of driving! I'm spending very little time on my own house. My floors and cleaning and yard are all terribly behind, and on some days it stresses me. Other days, I'm more OK with it. But I never seem to lose the naggy feeling. Oh well. Like LA says, when he leaves I'll have all the time. I cried when he said that.
Last weekend (May 15-May 16) we drove to St Robert, painted a while (painting, LOTS of painting to do with that Anew Grey color), then drove his travel trailer to my parents. I got to see Mom and Dad and my Sis and her family!!! But only for a day. We arrived midnight Saturday morning and left Saturday afternoon. Dad has long COVID hair (like me). Mom fresh out of shoulder surgery. My sis going to school online to get a teaching certificate. James just graduated to kindergarten. Kaitlynn drives her go-cart like a maniac. Steve also not working much, due to public exposure. Sugar came with us (she's also been going to St Robert with us) and got along with Bailey while they were in the orchard yard on tie-outs. Will she be OK in the house? Good news -- we might visit again in two weeks!!!!
Then back to St Robert Sunday. Yesterday and today (Tuesday) I'm at lab. Yesterday he rested (we slept in until 1030!) and today he's at the house. We go back tomorrow and Friday, he goes back all days. Then the kids this weekend. Then....ugh....how does he do it.
We get along great, and I really love the time we have. Thanks to COVID, we've spent days together and I could be happy if it never ended. :)
As for the fucking COVID, work is opening back up and the crazy shit only grows. My hours will be reduced so coworker return. I'm OK with that, more than OK. I need a break. But now there's tape covering a bathroom stall and sick, signs saying a limited number of people per room, arrows to show one-directional travel. UGH for real?! Is this necessary? I admit I live in a sheltered bubble of no news, no social, and little activity in the rest of the world, but I feel like this is an unnecessary intrusion. Whatever, I can't change it. And bitching here doesn't fix anything.
Today had my long-awaited med appointment with specialist for UTI. I like him! Upon listening to my heart, he asked if I was a runner. Damn that felt good to hear.
