Ahh got to sleep in. 7:30 am. Had a massage scheduled at 9:00. Was afraid I would miss it if I went to breakfast at 8:00 so I waited. As it turned out massage was 55 minutes late. Sat around doing laundry and just lazing about.
Massage was good. I was worried that the massage by a guy would not be as aggressive in my glutes asI would like but he seemed quite in tune with cycling and thankfully loosened up several huge muscle knots in my hamstrings and my glutes.
He was a bit chatty but we had some good conversation about food combining and diet structuring.
Afterward I was starving so I set out on a walkabout with my laptop and headed to whatever place I found. I wound up at a mexican food restaurant and had a great burrito and blogged a bunch.
The girls in the booth next to me were talking about how one girl wanted to go into theatre and actor and her mother was worried about that. I felt I had to interrupt and encourage her knowing how much I love my theatre educationa nd my career. I advised her to be creative in how to apply the techniqudes when looking for a job. Not just Broadway needs actors.
After that I headed back to the dorm and blogged most of the afternoon.
Apparently when I was at lunch, mail came in and I was the big winner. Cards and notes from so many people. I am so overwhelmed by all the well wishes from everyone. One card I got had 3 quotes of encouragement. I reverse folded that and put in the back side of my map holder so I can flip it over and read it anytime I need it. I have used it several times. Thanks for all the mail everyone. It does mean a tona nd the riddles/ quotes for success etc are really great.
Anyway sitting blogging all afternon, we had a huge thunderstorm build up and blow in for the afternoon. It was so peaceful to sit inside and watch it but not be out in it.
Here’s Margo just hanging out on our rest day.
Day 5 - Rest Day Spokane
When it came time for dinner people were trying to decide where to go and I offered up the mexican food restaurant again. And that’s where 9 of us ended up.
It was good yet again, even fo rhte 2nd meal of that day for me. Everyone else really enjoyed it.
On the walk back, Ane was talking and not watching where she was walking nad smacked right into a street sign pole with the side of her head. Poor thing. It was one of those that we have all done. Walking before looking and then “BLAM” you’re on the ground holding your head and your eyes can’t help but tear up a bit. oor ane had a huge gose-egg on her head and knocked her glasses all askew. and we wanted to laugh but we also know how much it hurt. I ran and got some ice and by the time I was back she was okay.
From there, LIz, Ane and I headed to the local starbucks for internet time to upload pics and blogs. From there, we were homeward bound and everyone started the repack sequence to start again at 5:00 a.m.
In the end many folks had great stories of going downtown in Spokane and seeing this and that. I sor to fmissed having those chances, but really appreciated the low key rest day.
