My weekend was both boring and intersting at the same time.
First, I attempted to go for a run mid-day on Saturday. A 10-mile run. It was almost 90 degrees outside. Big mistake. I made it 3 miles and thought I was going to die.
I’m not normally a big sweater but this was out of control.
So, planning ahead I decided to wake up early on Sunday and do 7 miles then. I made it 5.5 before I wanted to die.
Was I disappointed? Yes. But honestly I don’t feel like my heart is in running lately. I feel like it’s been hard on my body and the heat isn’t helping that. I have kind of a wacky week this week so I think I’m going to take off from running and re-assess the situation next weekend.
Another reason I wanted to run early on Saturday morning was so I could watch tennis at 10am. I made it home just in time.
During the tennis rain delay I changed out my fall/winter clothes for my spring/summer clothes.
Then it was kickball time. I don’t know what I was thinking when I agreed to play kickball. It’s my friend Liz’s team and everyone is super into kickball. And, to be honest, I never really enjoyed spending time with her friends before.
I was pretty much dreading going.
But I had a great time!! I really loved it. I need to work on my kicking technique, but my fielding was great. We lost, but only by one run and none of us had played in a while (most of them since last summer, me since elementary school).
The league is in Williamsburg which is like the most hipster of hipster places. I don’t know if you can fully understand it if you’re not from NYC. It’s insane. I’m going to have to bring my camera one week.
You can walk to this place called The Nest and get really cheap beer in water bottles
It was gross, but enjoyable.
I also got really, really dirty and I have no idea how.
I’m sure I looked insane on the subway home. I was drinking beer out of a water bottle, I was filthy, I probably smelled, and I was reading a book on tennis while bouncing up and down to music. Oh well!
Now back to my normal Sunday night routine!
