Laundry

Last night we did our 4 miler. It went well and felt great. Next week Wednesday runs will turn into 5 miles. I remember when 4 and 5 miles seemed like marathons themselves. Now I can get out and run them on a Wednesday after work. It's very empowering.

Now for some tangential details... We run Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. That results in a lot of gross sweaty clothes. Unfortunately, the weather is fairly constant throughout the week, so I find myself wanting to wear the same thing: the pants I got from my mom for Christmas and the top I got from Mike's parents - easily my favorite running outfit. I can normally force myself to wear a piece of running gear twice before I wash it (unless its a long run and then I have to wash it immediately). Mike is the same. So, I find myself washing running clothes twice a week and our drying rack is now a permanent fixture in our loft.

There is a plus side to all of this laundry. Because I wash all of our running clothes cold, this means I also get to wash other cold items. I always have multiple clean pairs of jeans and my favorite black camisole is always clean and folded in my drawer :)
