The USATF Grand Prix standings came out…I finished 2nd in the under 34 age division. The funny thing is I didn’t even need to run the race in order to win 2nd but I’m glad I did. It felt like the right way to end the racing season. There are some seriously competitive runners in series and I’m glad I could hold my own, injury and all. Depending on how I feel, I will probably take it easy on the running for the next few weeks and focus on recovering and cross training until Boston training begins in January. I am still unusually sore for running a tempo paced 10 miles which means my body still needs time to recover. I am actually wondering if the soreness is something more because the medial left quad pain is not fading. I have been icing and foam rolling and will keep an eye on it.
It is freezing in New Jersey today. Dan and I are supposed to go out for sushi tonight…Half price sushi and bring your own wine…it is our favorite date night but it is so cold I don’t even want to go out! Very unusual for me. I am already in sweats and drinking tea to warm up. Yes I am that old.

Smart cholice to tak eit easy. You want to be as healed as you can before you start the Boston training.
I am the same way! Once I am home in my pjs and warm I don't want to leave.....maybe I would for sushi though:). Great job on your race speed demon! I like your resting idea until official training... Might have to copy you on that one!
It is normal to be sore bc you have not run in a while, the muscles are in shock! You'll be fine soon!
It's FREEZING today!!!!
We have ZERO holiday shopping done, and I think it may be too late to get it done online. Yesterday was the busiest shipping (out) day in the history of the holidays. I don't want to get stuck with rush fees. Last year I did all of thei WAY ahead...this year, nothing. I am dreading going out this week!!!! I live down the road from a mall too (not a great one thought). Luckily, it's NOT King of Prussia, which is insane all the time. One year I got scammed in the lot there by a guy telling me I had to pay $10. to park...it was the ONLY spot in the lot and I think the guy was just there because it was an area off from the main where he could get away with it. Anyway, not looking forward to it.
I am with you, sweats in and wanting to avoid the cold! That sounds like such a fun date night, I wish we had something like that here!
Half price sushi and bring your own wine? Sign a sister up!
Congrats on your 2nd place finish!
I don't do sushi, but I would give anything to be as old / young as you... so why don't you just go out in your sweats!!!
What is your fav kind of sushi? I'm such a sushi wuss and usually only do the california rolls which really isn't sushi sushi but I want to venture out to some more daring choices...please share some suggestions. :)
