J4 and I have a lot of really wonderful and healthy quotes from living together that he'll kill me for sharing with you but the best of which is probably, "It's not nagging if you're right." I won't share who first spoke that gem, though it hardly matters as we both like to throw it out there now! Things are going well. We've both been on vacation and/or working from home/sleeping at random times (one of us is usually asleep) which has been laid back and has given us a chance to take turns putting the apartment together.
Yesterday my body said THANK YOU AUDREY for the rest day! I needed some sleep and my legs needed some not running. Today I joined a few people from the morning run crew for an afternoon run and it was a really good run for me. They (all guys) were going to do a tempo run and I was prepared to be dropped once that started but I managed to keep up with one guy and he and I generally held low to mid 7s. I was running controlled and I very happy with those times. Plus, this group likes to stop a lot (for water or stairs they don't like to run up) so that gave me a chance to regroup with them.
And now I really will start tapering more! Back to work tomorrow. It has been a great vacation with some much needed time off and at home.
