this post is late. it is for yesterday but i could not carve out a moment to do the update. it was a busy day and when i had a chance to take a nap, i did because naps rule.
for sunday's long run, i took a new route that was great. it included some of the usual roads but a whole new approach of running out to a point and then back on those same streets to reach my goal. so once i got back to the house, i was done. i saw some areas of the duke campus i had never seen before by car. since i was out with the sunrise, it was a nice warm sunlight over the duke hospital/va hospital area that i have avoided since my pop died there. that made it a nice milestone too.
this was a 9 mile run and i started slow to conserve energy. i planned to do this entire run without a pit stop to drink or eat. that plan worked and even once i was done, i did not eat or drink until i got a bath. to celebrate i had a special treat of a delicious sweet watermelon already cut up (by my boo) waiting for me. that was great and yumscule. then we had a country breakfast of sausage, eggs and a biscuit. since it was still a cool morning, i climbed back into the warm bed. what a sunday, eh?
by 1:30 pm, we had completed some errands shopping and i was back in bed. i had work meetings that afternoon so i was concerned how that would go. it all worked out OK so we got to go out for a delicious burger and fries at bull mcabe's for dinner.
