October has been a good running month so far. Middle of the month and I've run 26 miles so far. I have run 4 days a week all month, 2 days at work about 2.25 miles and then over the weekend two 3 mile runs. Today, Saturday, I ran 3.5 miles.I thought about trying to go 4 miles today, but I wasn't sure of the route. I drove to my old neighborhood and decided to try to run my old route. Originally I was aiming for 3 miles, by the time I decided on 4, I wasn't sure how to add the last half mile.
I have been running at work, which is the same area I ran before I moved, so lots of hills. My goal is to increase to 3 miles, but I have a time limit (lunch is only a half hour). Maybe I'll try for 4 miles tomorrow but I really am not crazy about the running in my new(ish) area (I've now been here 4 years). I'm not going to be moving, so I have to figure it out.
My 50th birthday was 2 weeks ago. Chris gave me a bubble tent. Have you seen these? They are so cool., but I have to buy all the crap that goes with it. This isn't the best example, but you get the idea.
Damian bought me an inflatable hot tub, but none of the things necessary to have the hot tub, so I guess I'm buying all that stuff. I think we're putting it up tomorrow.. I've already bought a canopy to go over it. We had one many years ago, and I wished we had a roof, so we'll see how I like it.
I used to use it all the time, but I don't know how I'll like this one because it will be more of a walk to it, downstairs. I do miss having a house that the main floor is the ground floor.
Speaking of, I fell down my stairs again on Monday. That makes 3 times in 4 years. I'm sick of it. It hurts, and someday I'm going to really get hurt. After the first time, I bought tread for the stairs, but Chris put them on in the middle of the step instead of the edge. The second and third time I slipped because I stepped on the edge. Today he put tread on the edge of the stairs, so I'm hopeful that I won't fall again. I'm tired of falling.
Today during my run I took so many pictures, trying to get a good fall picture of me running. I just look fat, so I hated most of them.
