Mondays, lasagna, etc

I can't remember ever having a particularly hard time dealing with a time change, and don't really know if that's why, but I slept horribly last night. I woke up a lot, taking forever to fall back asleep each time. Couldn't get comfortable, couldn't breathe well. But there was extra light out due to the change, so I headed out to Edgewater Beach, thinking I might walk along it and then up to see if the Eastern portion of the gulch was dry or not.

It wasn't long after I started that I realized how exhausted I was. I definitely didn't feel like climbing any more, so I decided I'd just walk a few loops around the beach. There was going to be a bit extra distance on the first loop with a pass through the Lighthouse Park, but I got there right as the ferry was letting off, and I didn't want to wait. And then on the way back to the beach, my shin started hurting a lot.



So I cut the walk down to one lap. It wasn't impossible to walk, but I know from experience that walking while in pain is a bad idea. You walk differently to compensate, which leads to pain elsewhere, and I didn't want a sore shin to turn into a sore shin with a sore hip on the side.


1.6 miles in 31 minutes, 3,473 steps

The timing was funny. It rained a lot during the drive down, and it started to rain again as I got back in the car, but I didn't really get rained on in the short time I was walking. As usual, it was lovely down there.






I'll give it another shot tomorrow. It'd be a bad idea to go swimming now with my recently-colored hair, so if that's unpleasant, I'll just plan for some yoga. And maybe a nap is in order today.

So where does lasagna fit into this entry?

(And you thought no one read the blog titles...)
