Oy! I just went for my first run back from vacation! I ran about a mile before I gave up. A mere 2 weeks ago I was running 6, 7 miles like it was no big deal! I suppose there has been about a one week break from my last run. My body wanted to keep going but my muscles said no way.
I’m excited though, that some of my new purchases work great! I bought a pair of UnderArmour Cold Gear running tights from an outlet mall, and they are fantastic. A little more of a lighter weight than my Nike running tights, but work just as well in keeping cold wind off my legs. I also got a new iPod Nano, the kind that just clip onto you, with Nike+ built in. It took me a bit to find a good place for it- the clip isn’t super-duper strong. But I’m very pleased with both purchases 🙂
And if you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m back in Japan! Kelsey took me to IHOP yesterday morning, our pre-flight tradition. I had 3 seats to myself! When you’re in the air for 10.5 hours, it’s such a luxury! I watched What’s Your Number and Life As We Know It, and a couple tv shows. Also napped and read a bunch of The Girl Who Played With Fire.
I breezed through immigrations and customs and before I knew it Dan and I were together again! We got all my bags home then went to our favorite ramen place by the apartment. After that I came home and showered, then fell into bed!
Vacation and baby shower pics coming as soon as I get the time to upload pictures, promise!
I loved What’s your Number!!! Jim thought it was funny too 😉 glad you’re home and comfy cozy, the running will pick back up. My two miles this morning were pretty intense, but I think it’ll get back to normal pretty fast.
