Happy Thursday!

Hope you enjoyed your weekend and that the week has been going well.

After cleaning out my running shirt drawer on Saturday I headed over to Mr. SOTSS’ for the rest of the weekend. We hit up Road Runner Sports for some running sneakers and the grabbed a bite at Chipotle for dinner for a nice lil’ date. Yup, sneaker shopping and Chipotle most definitely is how we show our love. I bought the new Brooks Glycerin 13s to try.

Sunday was a gorgeous 60 degree, sunny day so we took the dogs on a hike. The only wrinkle was that there were a lot of people and dogs doing the same so we had to leash them for much of the time. But we found a quiet spot by this lake that was perfect for Chester to get some swimming in. And Duncan posed a bunch for me.

So this week has been quite impressive for me running-wise. I actually ran 3X during the week. I haven’t been able to say that’s happened in quite some time. Usually I manage to get one or at most, 2 runs in during the week.

I started off with two back to back 3 milers on Monday and Tuesday. Monday’s run felt great. I tried out the new kicks. They felt good. I was worried since I had issues with the Brooks Ghosts rubbing on the side of my foot but these seem good.

Monday! Sorry about my pasty legs.

Tuesday’s run was the complete opposite. I felt so sluggish. In general I was just feeling low energy and my tooth was feeling weird above the gumline. It was actually feeling weird over the weekend but I kept trying to ignore it.

Tuesday!

Yesterday I had a routine dental cleaning appointment and mentioned the weird sensation above my molar. The dentist came in to examine, poke around and took some x-rays as well. He came to the realization that I had an abscess. Yikes! That’s an infection in the tooth all the way up the canal that can form from decay. So within a few hours I was getting emergency root canal. Good news is that they were able to get to the infection and treat it and I should be just fine.

Thinking of making this my new profile pic. LOL!

Today I figured I’d go out for another run hoping my sore mouth wouldn’t be an issue. I wore the Glycerin’s again and still feeling good about them.

And that’s a wrap on my weekday running. Next up is 8 miles on Saturday

Thursday!

I took Duncan for a few walks this week too. He’s been really into sticks lately.

Tongue-out-thursday! (This was just after dropping the stick)

How often do you run (or do any form of exercise) during the week? 

Have you ever had root canal?
