This should have been a great Memorial Day Weekend. We’re vaccinated. Our cars have gas in their tanks. The cicadas aren’t that bad. But the cold, rainy weather made it a mellow few days. I’m not going to complain, though. Memorial Day isn’t really about the beach and barbecues anyway.
Iwo Jima Memorial
It’s the last Friday of the month and the start of Memorial Day Weekend–the perfect time to gather at Marcia’s runfessional and cleanse our souls soles before we kick off summer. I’ve been running close to home, but my May runfessions are all over the place.
Also join me in the Fit Five Friday Link-Up with Darlene, Michelle, Renée, Jenn, and Zenaida.
Deborah and I will be hosting the June Ultimate Coffee Date next weekend. We’ll open the (link-up) doors Friday June 4th, and keep the coffee brewing.
Over my 20+ years of running I’ve dealt with my share of running injuries. While some resolved with rest, ice, and more intentional stretching, others required professional intervention. I’ve gotten physical therapy for piriformis syndrome, ITB issues, hip flexor pain, and now Achilles tendonitis. While each injury had its own treatment protocol, there also seems to be a common core of physical therapy for runners.
I’ve been realizing that by the time we are ready to start dipping our toes in the water of social interaction again the world around us already will be playing in the deep end. My coronavirus concerns came to life this week when the CDC changed its masking guidelines on Thursday and the governor of Virginia lifted our mask mandate effective midnight on Friday.
Me, still at home, because I’m not fully vaccinated yet.
Happy Mother’s Day! Thanks to Deborah and Kim for opening the Weekly Run Down link up early so I can get on with my Mother’s Day plans–going to the grocery store, doing laundry, paying bills …. 😉
Don’t worry, I also am planning a nice bike ride and visit with my Mom.
