Week 8: Finally, another weekend off!

I am in love with the rain.  The way it smells, the way it ushers in spring, and the way it tends to cancel softball games and give me an unexpected weekend off.  It's all great.  Not to mention that running in the rain is one of my favorite things ever.  And on Saturday, I got to spend an hour and ten minutes in the glorious drizzle as I tackled my eight mile run.  All in all, this was a great week for my goal setting project, and for my general well being.  Except for the part where my Michigan State Spartans fell to UConn in the tournament, but that's a different story...

The positive from this week: pretty much everything.  I ate well, I got to see my parents, I drank lots of water, and I got all kinds of relaxation time on Saturday and Sunday.  I even got my parents to take part in some of my workouts this week, which always makes for a good day.  I've tried ever since high school to get my mom to take better care of her health, so anytime I can talk her into going for a walk makes me a happy daughter.  On Friday, I had them meet me down at the wood chip trail (I ran there, they drove...I pick my battles), and they walked while I ran a couple laps.  One of my long term goals is to set a good example of health and wellness for my family, so days like these make me feel like I'm chipping away at that objective.  

The negative from this week: UConn basketball and broken washing machines.  And that's pretty much it.

Until next week!
