Weekly wrap up:
At least I think I got all of my dining reservations made??
Looking back at last Sunday, our day went sideways right off the bat. We picked up DD from my parents' on Saturday evening, and she had hit her ankle or something that afternoon when she tripped over the blocks in their living room while on a full run. Well on Sunday morning she was being very dramatic, and combined with the swelling and bruising we decided to be safe and go get an xray to make sure it wasn't broken. It took a little longer than we thought it might (not broken!), and we didn't have time to drive her back home and still get to our referee training on time. That meant we were going to be taking a feisty 5 year old to a 3 hour training where she would need to be quiet. We grabbed new coloring stuff and playdoh and hoped for the best. She ended up doing great, but what a morning!
Monday--Refereed basketball for 2 hours. I got to referee DS3's team (we asked our assigner to put DH or myself on his games so we can make it to as many as possible, and it's not an issue since it's just middle school; in HS that won't happen.)
Tuesday--And then I discovered all of the little muscles I use for refereeing that "just" running doesn't train.
Wednesday--The time change is crushing me. And I woke up at 3am for no reason. Was I able to go back to sleep? Of course not. My lower back also got really grouchy with me starting on this day. Things in my hips were cranky, and it was traveling down into my legs, but not sciatic nerve pain. I ended up getting into the chiro on Friday because this lingered all week and she suggested I get a massage from a provider who is in their building and then get adjusted right after in the next few weeks because I was really tight and a lot harder to adjust than usual. I've been putting off getting the massage, but it's been on my radar with some lower left leg tightness/knotting that I don't want to turn into a strain this year.
Thursday--ADR day! I had already reserved Raglan Road and Paddlefish through OpenTable, so all I needed to do was grab Sanaa for Thursday dinner since the phone CM was unable to make any reservations for us for the 2nd leg of our stay (womp, womp.) This was another terrible night of sleep, really most of the week was.
Friday--We had a really hard frost, and I very much dislike running when it's below 45. I also couldn't find the safe place I had put the treadmill safety key (DD has started turning the treadmill on and then trying to run on it and it's so quiet that I can't always hear when she does this) so no run again. *sigh*
Saturday--Time to "make up" all those missed runs with SIX HOURS of refereeing with no real breaks. I think the longest gap we had between games was 10min, and that was basically long enough to use the bathroom, chug a powerade, and shove a no-longer-hot concessions stand hotdog in my face hole. Soooo yeah. Long run? Check. Even if I cut this in half for "equivalence" I'm counting it as a double digit miles run. Thoughts for how this ties in with marathon training: I wore my compression socks all day for this; my legs were tired but otherwise fine at the end, but the nails on my big toes were....not sore, but irritated maybe? They didn't like the socks pushing on them all day. I have the newest model of the NB1080s for refereeing and they do feel a little different from previous years' models. I'm noticing more tightness in my right achilles/soleus than I'm used to (that's usually a left leg thing) but these feel fine otherwise.
Sunday (today)--I'm debating running today since I have 3 hours of refereeing tomorrow, and it's probably going to be 8th grade boys. That means more running and less walking/standing. If I do anything it'll probably be a walk on the treadmill to loosen things up and do some active recovery. I did grab my remaining ADRs this morning: Homecomin' for BIL/SIL (we are discussing adding DH to that since it's a brunch ressie and I'll still be running) and Turf Club at Saratoga for dinner after the marathon. If we don't have a rental car, we can take resort park bus up to the restaurant, and then hobble back after. And they have scallops.
I already have enough hobbies where buying supplies is a hobby in itself. 
It's amazing!!
