Okay, So Maybe I Felt a Little Tired

After all that talk of how wonderful I felt after the 10-mile run yesterday, I did actually get a bit tired about an hour into Star Wars. I'd had a nice snack, the theater was dark, and the seats were comfy (we went to the new theater with the high-back, cushy seats). I think if I'd closed my eyes for a second I could have easily fallen asleep. The movie was great though...worth all the hype and definitely better than the previous two.

After I quit feeling so tired, I began to realize that my muscles were tightening up a bit. I first noticed this when I really wanted to take my shoes off. My feet just did not want to be in shoes any longer. Then I was crossing one leg, then the other. Suddenly I just couldn't get comfortable again...even in the comfy seats. It was almost as if they were too cushy...is this possible? After the movie I stood up and realized why. It felt like my body was stuck in the sitting position. I guess that is what happens when you run and then go sit in a theater for about 2.5 hours.

We had fun visiting with John and Lisa after the movies, and then trekked over to Matt & Laura's house for her birthday party. We had a great time visiting with all the usual suspects, and then left a bit early to get home and just relax for a bit. I didn't even turn on the computer last night (odd for me), I just enjoyed hanging out on the couch watching taped coverage of the Pac-10 conference track meet. It was wonderful to relax for a couple of hours after such a brimmingly full day.

My Sunday is going well. The sky is mostly blue and clear, and I think I might go for a walk or a bike ride later.
