Quiet Day

Today was a pretty quite day and that was really nice. I took a Body Pump class this morning and then a yoga class. I decided to give my legs another day to rest. I plan on going to the gym in the morning to run a few easy miles. The half marathon is on Saturday and although I'm not "racing" (like I ever do) I don't want my legs to be too tired. The course is very hilly and I don't want to be last. Tomorrow night one of the women in the running club (the Sandhills Striders)is having people over for a pasta party. She seems very nice. I actually met her at the reservoir and have even run with her on occasion. She's also in the her 50s so that's nice although she's fairly new into running and pushes all the time. She's not realy for ultras yet! I think the one thing that I've learned from ultras is patience. Sometimes I feel like I'm too laidback at times. I don't ever remember being like that but I must say, I do like being like that and would not want to be in a rush all the time. I really just enjoy going out for a run and taking my time and smelling the roses although I prefer smelling coffee. Anyway, it's a good thing at least in my mind although I'm not to sure many understand that or agree with that point of view.
Tomorrow Bob (the carpenter) is stopping by to repair a couple of eyesores that the removal of the old vanity created. He's too much. Who ever thought a contractor/carpenter would care enough to just stop by for a couple of minutes. He's really quite a find I must say and he goes above and beyond what you'd ever expect someone like him to do. We were really lucky to have found him. It's truly amazing that we've been able to get so much work done in such a short period of time. I'm sure it will all be worth it but at this point I feel like it's just been too much, all encompasing. Hardly a day goes by that we don't have to go to Lowes or somewhere to buy something else. I'm not sure what we'll do once all that is done but hopefully it'll be fun stuff, like working out!
I do have to study so most of my evenings will now be devoted to studying my Anatomy class. That is not so much fun but I really hope that it will get me ready to pass the massage certification exam. I actually met a women today who is a massage therapist and she said to really study Anatomy and Oriental techniques. It'll definately be a challenge. Oh well, time to hit the books!
