I’ve shared on my “run club” channel, as well as on IG stories, that I’ve been dealing with a strained muscle in my left leg. It has been pretty frustrating because it’s been a slow process to try to heal, and I’m not the most patient person!
I went to physical therapy about 12 days ago, and then again today, and I’ve seen some great progress! I rested that muscle for 4 consecutive days as well, which made the biggest difference. I think that really gave it time to heal.
I’m hoping to run a bit this weekend and then resume my normal weekly mileage next week! I’m signed up for another race at the end of January, and I desperately want to feel prepared and ready for it!
In completely unrelated news, I’m planning to make a thorough list of gifts that I need to buy and knock it out in record time sometime early next week. Are you noticing shipping delays? I’m noticing things coming from either UPS, FedEx, or Amazon are taking an extra 3-4 days longer than usual. It doesn’t typically matter, but I often rested on quick shipping for gifts, but I’m seeing that buying in person may be the move this year!
I wore my Quay Weekender glasses this week, and Justin said, “Those glasses are fire!” so they get the seal of approval from my husband (who genuinely doesn’t really care about fashion but also doesn’t comment on things like that, so I will take that as a win!).
I’ve had this white V-neck for years, and it has held up so well through the wash! It’s the perfect relaxed tee that isn’t too oversized!
