Rest Day
12.31.07
Sunday was a wonderful day of rest and eating. I popped out of bed at 5am totally energized, followed by coffee and my staple half bagel with Mara Natha peanut butter and honey. Followed by eggs, boca sausage and piece of rye toast about 10:30, then we were off to the movies to see Juno where kiddie popcorn and a coke followed. A coke, what a nasty treat that was. BJ opted for the red fish and after my popcorn was down I opted for the red fish too. Then off to Whole Foods for shopping and lunch (salad bar baby). Home for a nap, then a more episodes of Big Love, fish tacos for dinner and finished the day with a half piece of Fresh Berry Chantilly Cake! Big pig, that was me and I loved every minute of it. Popcorn, soda, red fish and cake are absolutely not a regular with me so needless to say I was popping the Papaya pills and drinking peppermint tea before going to bed.
Recovery from my big run has gone quite smoothly, I feel great but with all recoveries I put alot into it. Following my run on Saturday I took a long hot epsom salt bath, then stretched, then did some indirect moxa on my joints, then arnica massage. Sunday I took another bath and continued with the arnica. I’m officially tapering for the marathon and I’ve never felt better going into taper. I’m so grateful, I’m so very grateful for that. I’m really excited about AZ.
