Quiet weekend

This weekend was very quiet, thanks to the cold weather. We didn’t get a whole lot of snow, and what we had didn’t stick around very long, but the outrageously low temperatures kept us inside. I spent the second half of my weekend curled up in bed with Honey and Marley watching over me while I slept off an overtraining injury — my first of this training cycle, and hopefully my last.

It’s nothing serious — just a cranky illiotibial band, which I’ve dealt with before — but it was a good reminder that I need to be stretching properly before and after runs and doing some weight training three or four days a week. I’ve always been sloppy about that, and every now and then, it catches up to me.
