Swimming and socializing
My sleep schedule is way off. Since I haven't been working for the past month, there hasn't been as much of a need to get up early--especially since my outside workouts are limited. So naturally, I've been staying up later (the Olympics doesn't help!) and getting up later, too. Today I didn't get out the door until about 9:30, which isn't exactly late but I didn't get home (from the gym) until almost 12:30. I tried to swim hard for about 40 minutes, then did a little pool running (my first try at it ever, in fact) and then a few more laps. After that, I biked a bit on the stationary bike and lifted. That's why it took so long--I would have normally broken up the workouts into two, but I didn't feel like going over there twice today. By the time I got home, I felt like I was running on negative fuel--but l ate a peanut butter sandwich right away and felt better.
This afternoon I took a nice walk to the grocery store and thankfully managed to figure out the kitchen cabinet thing I put together wrong last night. It definitely took longer than it should have, but at least it's done.
I caught up with one of my DC running partners on the phone today and was glad to hear that she is running--even doing low-key races--again. The two of us were injury buddies the last couple of months I was in DC, so it gives me hope for my own recovery. We discussed the chiropractor's idea about mis-alignment, etc., contributing to other injuries and aches and pains, and she agrees since even though her original injury is healed, her piriformis (sp?) is now acting up.
Tonight we have yet another party given by one of Matt's classmates. Apparently business school is all about who can give the best parties. Why am I not surprised? :) Of course, I only go to select social events because it interferes with Olympic-watching and my sleep schedule.

You've been living in Boston for about two weeks and you already have a more exciting social life than I do!

Well, it's forced socializing. But I did meet someone in Matt's class last night who was on the track team at Cornell (pole vaulter) that I never had met for some reason....
