The full moon rising tonight was absolutely beautiful…it was slightly cloudy, so there was a large ring around it. It lit up the sky. I am still in disbelief of the weather…every day seems to get nicer and nicer. It’s still February, and for the past week and a half it’s been warm enough for shorts and tank tops at lunchtime. This afternoon I had about 5 minutes between lunch and class, and I took full advantage of it by laying in the grass in the sun with Emily. It felt so good.
I am having trouble motivating myself to go running. The fact that my legs have been aching, combined with the fact that I have been stuck on my current weight for about a week now after losing 5 pounds in the 3 weeks before that have made me feel very “blah” about running. However, tonight was better. I tried Jen’s tiptoe stretch and I think it may have helped my shin splints a bit. And I talked to katie just before I left, so she gave me the requisite “Go Sarah!” and off I went. 4.2 miles tonight, in 47:27. Slower than the ~10:30 pace I have been doing lately, but I will work on speeding up.
Besides the weather and running, my two default topics of late, there’s really not much to say. I desperately need to get started on the propulsion homework, but it’s hard to do it when John says we can turn it in “whenever.” I’m just looking forward to the end of the week, and Viennese Ball!
