    Uncomplaint

    I ran to PT 2x this week! I’d been doing 1x a week for a bit now but this week we’re upping mileage a little so I ran to PT twice. it feels good to be running in a set schedule again even though weekly mileage is projected to hit … 9 miles 😂. slowwww and steady is the name of the game. posterior tibial tendonitis was no joke and with my flat feet its always going to be a weak spot for me.

    complaint

    I don’t know if its hormones shifting as I get older or if this is my body now post baby but its wild that I used to run in thermals any time the temperature dipped below 40f. not crazy thick ones but under armour’s cold gear usually. Now I sweat like a pig even down to 35 so I’ve been running in just long sleeves with my vest. the complaint is while I have lots of nice short sleeve shirts and lots of nice long sleeve thermals … I don’t actually have a ton of just regular long sleeve shirts. I keep telling myself not to waste money shelling out on them (because I am a lulu fan girl and loove their shirts) because its basically winter but then I for a run and … yep wish I’d had just a long sleeve shirt. but hey its still cheaper than cycling gear.

    complaint

    I feel ready to run a 5k and … there just isn’t one around me that’s convenient 😤. my local fleet feet is putting on one like 45 minutes from me, boo. I was contemplating doing a jingle bell 5k in hoboken but that day just got snatched up by the family Christmas dinner so no 5k. I know I could just go RUN one but dang it I want a shirt. I want some crowds. its been so long.

    confession

    I started a runner centric strength program and even though it was mostly body weight … I’m so sore 😂. how is my upper back sore from 5 lb rows 😭. triceps too from the super high incline pushups I did. I’m such a noodle lol. hey that means I can only improve lol.

    complaint/confession

    I promised sour dough for thanksgiving and I am not suuuuperrrr sure my sour starter is sour starting correctly 😬. been feeding it going on 7 days now and its bubbling but not rising. I have a degree in exactly this sort of thing. hell I used to manage a bread bakery and have fed starters and made sour dough hundreds of times. and now here I am like “wait. what?” 😭. I may be making brioche instead… gonna try and bake a loaf this weekend and see how it behaves…
