So ever since my last half marathon, my left knee has been bothering me a bit. I've given it two days of rest this weekend, although I did get some serious Christmas shopping in with my mom on Saturday. Hopefully I can get back on the track or the road (depending on the weather) tomorrow! I've got about a month and a half till I leave for South Africa, where I can run everyday and only have to worry about rain, but for now I'm stuck in northeast Ohio where lake effect can trap you in your house for a few days! So, I found a nice alternative to running for awhile that might be easier on my knees. Cross country skiing! It's at Chapin Forest and it is only 5 dollars for an hour with ski rental! I've convinced a few of my friends to accompany me this week after this huge snow storm. I'm really excited because it is something I've never tried before and next up would be down hill skiing, which Nikki already talked me into! haha I can't wait to get out onto those trails this week!!!
Also, with my study abroad prep list. I have to get my visa within the next week. I need a background check, a TB test and some other things that I have to gather up before I can send it in. Then all I have to do is pray that I get it back in time for my trip. This makes me extremely nervous because of all the trouble I had with my trip to the Amazon and getting my passport and visa on time. Hopefully I get the background check back relatively quick because that is what will take the longest, I should have gotten this out of the way a lot earlier than this!
Lots to do this week! And I'm looking forward to the weekend because I am heading to PA to see all the family!!!
