Day Off

No work for me! This past Thursday I started to get a scratchy throat and felt very worn down. EVERYONE around here is sick! Part of me thinks I never kicked this cold fully, the beginning of September. I worked a bunch this week and had no weekend so tomorrow I am taking the day off!
It's been a very liberating feeling all day! I was VERY excited about being able to sleep in til 7 (yes, a.m.), and have no real responsibilities. I DO need to get another 11 miles of running in, so hopefully tomorrow will go better than today. I'd not run since last Saturday so everything hurt while running and once I finished. I think my body was just tired and needed a break this week. This is my last long run (22 miles) before tapering these last few weeks before Chicago. My knees are still bothering me, but I think I need to invest in a new pair of kicks after the marathon. The kicks I have will be good enough to get me through this event, but they've logged a lot of miles over the past year.
Today, I finished all my MAJOR chores for the week and even a few projects so tomorrow is going to be a very restful day! I am SO looking forward to it. Tonight we went over to my cousin's house for salmon. I'll post some pictures tomorrow but we all had a fun time!
Also, this week I'll be moving in to my new room, very exciting! I'm going to be staying here at my aunt/uncle's house for a bit so I'll be moving in to one of the spare bedrooms instead of the office/guest room! My uncle painted the room today, so there are just a few last minute details before moving in this week! Very exciting!
Fall is definitely here and I'm loving this cooler weather. Once the leaves start to change colors, I'll start posting pictures!
