The past weekend was fabulous. Only had one tour so I had a nice solid 3 day weekend. Yesterday we had Kelsey over and we laid pool side and alternated with jumping in the pool to cool off. As a background note, I am a pasty person. Tanning is not something that my body usually does. I'm very dilligent with the sunscreen. Well, my smart happy butt apparently decided that the tops of my legs were not in need of this critical cream and forgot to put it on.
Fast forward to last night. My legs could easy qualify for lobster red. My knees are crispy and they do not bend painlessly. I laid on the sofa for a bit with painkillers which seemed ot work but they went on strike about 2:00 this morning and so suffice it to say I did not sleep. Today my legs are still nicely red and painful, but the burn is cooling slightly.
I will not, however, be able to pull off running. I've been cruising on the couch to 5K and the second week (last week about killed me). I was planning on running this weekend but things kept jumping out to do so it didn't happen. So now I figure I'm just going to repeat week 2. I didn't feel ready to start week 3 on Friday. Running a minute and a half 8 times still makes me breathless...no way am I going to be able to do 3 minutes of running.But I will truck on. Maybe will try to run tonight but highly unlikely.
