Now a four day span. Saturday was a sporty day spent with Jespy. Ran the second leg of the Urbanathlon. Found an old guy to be my pacer, so that was nice. Obstacles were the best part, wish the monkey bars and the marine hurdles were more numerous. But because I didn't do any sort of training, I'm paying for it now. I'm pretty sore, calves and quads. Leg warmers help, and calf sleeves definitely help, but I'm tempted to get some recovery compression leggings. Of course by the time they show up I'll probably be recovered, but might be good to have in the future, since I apparently don't train for these things. Oh, and I decided to run in a white polo, argyle sweater vest, and khaki shorts. Been wanting to do these runs in this outfit ever since Tracy started me on them. That was cool. Weather was a little cool, but just after Jesse finished the last leg the sky opened up and it started raining/hailing. Got a ride up to our neighborhood where it was blue skies and sunshine. Had lunch at Nookies Tree. A couple hours later met up with Jespy again at Tufano's before going to our first Flat Track Roller Derby bout to see Sarah's sister's Wheels of Justice face off against the Windy City Rollers at the UIC Pavilion. Awesome. Totally want to get season tickets next year. It's fun. But Friday night was a nice quiet night at home, except for biking home into a headwind up the lake front path after picking up my race packet. Sunday was a nice quiet day as well since Tracy worked, and I recovered on the couch.
