summer sunday

30 July 2017 Seattle, Washington

Sunday. Feeling a lot better today. A lot. Normal, even.

On today's agenda, we are going on a quick visit to see my mom and drop off a few things at her place in advance of us staying there for a few days. See, we have amassed too much stuff already. And no car, so… The main thing we have is a fan that we pulled out of our storage locker. And it occurred to me a few days ago that it would be a potential nightmare on the bus with our backpacks on Tuesday, so we decided to take a load of stuff early. It was nice, we got to see my mom and visit for a while. Also, we got the fan over there, so now we don't have to worry about that (except that it's pretty hot here right now, so hopefully that wasn't a huge mistake for the next two nights).

Before our adventure, we took a brisk walk in the morning and then stopped by the grocery store to get stuff to make a picnic lunch. We were kind of under a time deadline for transportation, so we had to walk faster than we normally do. And for those of you who think we normally walk pretty fast, I have news. We don't. We probably walk faster than some people, but we are by no means "speed walkers". We just walk A LOT. Not fast. But many miles. So this morning's walk was basically just under the pace of our runs. Or at least that's how I felt as the sweat poured into my eyeballs. At any rate, good fast walk. That was our "rest" day.

After we got back, we made dinner and settled in to watch a movie. The new Ghostbusters, which I actually liked. Then we went to bed early because running tomorrow. And we want an early start next week because heatwave. Hopefully it won't impact us too much… <fingers crossed>
