Winding Down

Is anyone else glad that the season is coming to an end? The constant grind of scheduling life around workouts and letting everything else slide is easing somewhat and I have to say it's a relief. I'm not even slightly thinking about what next year may hold. I had a race on the calendar for today, but an IT band injury changed all of that and here I am blogging with a cat sleeping blissfully on my lap, drinking coffee and planning my day, while my running buddies are probably crossing the bridge into Iowa at the Quad Cities half Marathon. It doesn't bother me at all. All I'm feeling is relief.
