Day 42

R/W 20min/5 min with rest of 2 min.

Didnt feel like doing it today, had a restless night and upper/mid back was hurting, more like a discomfort. Just wanted to curl and sleep, then talked myself into getting up. If I dont do it in the morning, that means its not going to get done. Thats the only argument I have against trying to sleep in any day.
Using the nylon socks I bought to prevent against the feet blisters. Bought 2 different kinds and GB will testdrive those too. So far they feel good and look good, blue and white matching my blue and white NB shoes. Thats the only thing which coordinates in my running wardrobe. Will get new 'running'togs when reach a mini-goal, maybe the half-marathon in May. Tho the pedicure for finishing the first month never happened cos GB doesnt believe in pedicures in the winter months. I will be getting mine this weekend .
