Start out another week right with your pals at H&F! What's in your planner for good stuff today?

I'm planning a day of rest. I suddenly realized, in the shower this a.m. (that's where I do some of my best thinking

) that I purposely walked more miles this weekend than I drive to work every day.

And that didn't even include "lifestyle" steps.

Yep. A day of rest is just what I need. Too bad I have to fit work into it

I'll be resting, too. I like being able to plan that.

Looks like I'm resting today too. I somehow managed to strain something in my leg yesterday -- hamstring, I think. (I can't straighten my right leg completely.)

I don't know when or how, but I suspect it had something to do with walking in the rain and altering my gait slightly to deal with wet socks.

And, yes, I did buy rain shoes. They were at home.

It wasn't raining when I left the house and the forecast didn't call for rain for at least 4 hours. Fortunately I stashed a rain jacket in my fanny pack.

Word to the wise: Coolmax socks are great, but rain seems to be their kryponite. Fortunately I made it home with feets of flame, but no blisters yet.

Ouch, Sara! Definitely take it easy today.

Ooh, Sara! You didn't wear the ugly sloggers?

Take care of that hamstring...go see a doc if it gets too ugly. Hope you feel better soon!

Smart, huh?

It's feeling a little better now. It only hurts when I walk (yeah, I know, so don't walk :p ) I managed to hobble a few blocks at lunch -- from the car to the restaurant and the soreness and stiffness seemed to decrease as I walked.

I don't think it'll be too bad. It better not be. I can't afford that.

Take care of yourself, Sara! Pulled hamstrings are no fun. I hope it's just a little muscle strain instead, which heals a lot more quickly.

I ran a few miles today after getting back from Syracuse, just to get back in the groove after two days off.
