136.6 I've dropped all but a thumb bandaid, although the surgical scar on my wrist looks like I attempted suicide... not pretty, but not in need of a covering now that it is finished being scabby. I'm off the antibiotics as of Saturday evening so now we are watching and waiting. I'm trying not to be a hypochondriac, but am fretting just a little as my tummy is a bit distressed today, I had a couple rounds of scoots, and my thumb while not swollen, it a bit more purple than it has been. I've got no explanation for the thumb aside from possible overuse yesterday, but I'm blaming the other on the fact that the wind has been non-stop for days and me, Tom, and the entire town is half-crazed from allergies and the relentless noise/irritation/positive ions?/and whatever. I've felt this way other times when allergens were very high and the wind has been relentless. Not going to panic just yet!
Weekend was good. Good cat walk with Tom and Charlie Saturday, then we went for elevation gain and did a double loop on the "snow cone" south of the meadow. 2.6 miles and 900 feet climbed. I had my HRM on, but we weren't pushing very hard so my max HR was only 150. Chores and cooking after that. Tom wanted a treat so I made enchiladas with corn tortillas, turned out yummy. Loads of chicken, veggies, and a good green chili sauce.
Sunday we did another cat walk and then decided on a little longer hike. We were tempted to go quite a bit longer, but we also had some work around home to do so in end didn't go bonkers, just hiked through a pretty part of the forest near home, round trip of 4.6 miles and 500 feet of elevation gained. Tom has been setting some monthly mileage and elevation goals is the only reason I'm noting elevation. I love climbing hills so am always up for a steep climb such as we did Saturday, but don't care on "normal" hikes. Got in a good nap on Sunday and accomplished a few little jobs around home I've been successfully avoiding since I got hurt.
Since we both felt yucky this morning and the wind was howling, I cried off a hike outside and Tom was obviously relieved. I'm deep into a really good audiobook at the moment, so I thought I would do stairmaster at the gym since that is always great when I have a good book going. In the end, I decided I just didn't feel that well and so wasn't going to push and didn't workout at all. The end of a 10 day streak - Oh well. As noted in someone else's journal, we've all got some life in the way of our preferred workout plans.
