i love rest days!

Day Offf!

Friday was a rest day, so Arjay and I checked out a new-ish restaurant in Raleigh - in our old neighborhood, no less!  Taste - we had a nice time.  Good way to prepare for our Saturday workouts!  Arjay planned for cyclocross training with his buddy John, so was out the door by 7:30.  This gave me plenty of "quality" time with the dogs - a.k.a - snoozing, snoring, and general sleepy-time activities.

Matilda, Fill, and I wandered out of bed around 8:30 - we were PLANNING for the dogs to go get groomed, but we have to wait until tomorrow.  I'm sure they don't care, but those toe nails of theirs are really starting to hurt!

I made a pit-stop at Dick's Sporting Goods, to get a new fuel belt, SOMEBODY (Matilda) ate mine...I also picked up a fun new shirt, that perfectly matches my running skirt, and i have to look cute...so, there's that.

I finally got to Umstead around 10:30, ready to start my run!  I haven't been to Umstead since the spring, so it was really nice to get back there.  Although, i started my "LSD" run on a hill, so that kinda sucked - on the other hand, that means I ended on the downhill...so, that rocked.

I ran for an hour,  and wow-wee, was it nice!  It was only about 70 degrees, and overcast, and not too humid!  I finished the run, feeling really good about the whole thing.  So, I stopped to pick up lunch for my dearest and me - Burger King.  Probably not the best choice - but, it was fan-freaking-tastic.  Don't judge me.

So, here's yesterday's stats:

temp: about 68

dusky

• 1 strawberry/ basil infused martiini
• flatbread pizza
• shimp wonton
• lamb chop - med. rare - but, actually pretty well raw on one side...still good, though
• apple turnover
• pinot noir
