R & R
Well, today I didn't get a chance to workout, but I don't feel too guilty because my legs and lower back are quite sore from yesterday's race. After the race and my massage, my fiance and I drove down to VA Beach to hang out with my family for the evening. Today my Marine Corps Reserve unit held its annual family picnic, and as the Operations Officer, I thought it was the correct political thing to do to greet and mingle with all the families. It ended up being another gorgeous fall-like day; I even saw some skinny shirtless high school boys running around the park. Of course, I wished I were running too. Okay, so I'm kidding myself about not feeling guilty.
My family and I played a bunch of games with the Marines/Sailors and their kids, like Jenga, Connect Four, and Battleship. It was the first relaxing day that I've had in a long time, since I've been seriously stressing about the wedding and work deadlines in recent weeks.
Now we're back home and just finished cleaning in preparation for my brother's arrival tomorrow. He and his family from Ridgecrest, CA (Mojave Desert) were sightseeing in Boston this weekend before driving down my way. Off to bed soon, but I'm going to do a couple sets of push ups and pull ups, so I don't feel quite so guilty for being a slacker.
