Notes:
- A question just for fun… would you try a nude race? Hee hee.
- My knees hurt on Monday and for a second I was worried something was wrong with them… then remembered I fell on them at the trail race two days before. Derrrr. They also hurt on Sunday’s long run, again, from diving (and landing on my knees) to stop a ball at softball. Oops.
- I was (am?) in a funk for the last five days of this week as I tried to sort out some work stuff in my head, and just couldn’t stop thinking about it, even on the weeknights and my days off. It’s not like me to churn work stuff over and over like that! I am working on trying to see things in a different light to help deal with it. I that clicks soon, cause I don’t like feeling this… anxious so much of the time.

I am so sorry you are in a funk…it’s never easy when work stressors tend to follow us home so to speak. Just remember, though, part of life is going through these funks so we can appreciate the awesomeness in our life even more! <3 Hope your knees feel better soon!
big fat NO to the nude race. I have no words.
I hope this week is better for you at work. I’m happy I got to see you so much last week!
Ha ha ha!
I think it will be! I prepared a to do list yesterday and am knocking things off today. I have my list of questions for the experts on my team… I am putting it all on them! Hee hee!
Me too! REDEMPTION RUN TONIGHT!!!
Weird. I had no idea nude races were a thing. But… what about a sports bra!?! I feel like that would be so uncomfortable, even if you were comfortable with nudity. I hope the work anxiety clears up for you. I hate things like that because they seem to color everything else in life too.
Maybe it would be freeing? 😉
Thanks! I think it will, as I learn to self-soothe 🙂 And I do hate that it seeps over too. I have been feeling so happy lately, that threw me for a loop!
I was in a funk last week too!! I feel like I’m still trying to pull myself out of it. I really don’t like to feel like this either! I miss my happy self… Hopefully, we both find our way back to happy!
Hmm….nude race. Not sure about that one. Wouldn’t it hurt to run without a sports bra at least!!??
Definitely NO nude races for me. Not even if it was a free race entry!
I’m late on this, but I would totally do a nude race. Although I’m not sure that would surprise anyone. When I heard about nude yoga, I was bummed it hadn’t made it’s way to Chicago yet, because I would do that too. My only concern with a nude race is the lack of a sports bra. So I might walk it, haha. Oh, also, I would need a lot of sunscreen.
