Day Seventy-five: Haunted run, miscalculated race and beer
Ran the Haunted 5k with the girls and family. The race was pretty disorganized initially, but what was even more funny was that it was actually 4.1 miles. We've run enough 3 miles to know that it certainly was marked longer or someone made a mistake mapping out the course. I've made a pact to try and not care about mileage and time for my blog... this race certainly challenged my runners instinct to want to know precisely to the 1/10 of a mile... how far we ran. LOL Afterwards we mapped the run and came up with 4.1 and 4.3 between me and my sister-in-law Kristin. But, it was still fun to get out and run with the family. Kristin and her daughter Grace were black cats, Izzy and I were Christmas girls, Siena was a devil and Justin simply wore a witches hat and a long black cape; which made no sense to me until I was working on my 2nd pitcher of beer, (he was a warlock apparently.. with much debate).
Day Sixty-nine: Vegetables, fruit, a good local beer..... and poo
Went running on the trail while kids and Justin went searching for more werewolf clues. Siena was a bit bummed out as there weren't as many clues to be found. The park was also quite busy for a Sunday. Afterwards we went to the Farmers Market. One of my favorite places. I love all the fresh fruits and vegetables and dream of the many yummy recipes for each. Sadly the market ends next Sunday :(
The weather couldn't have been more perfect. 64 degrees, Autumn sunshine, leaves and pumpkins.
Hmmmmm.....now what to make first! Love our local farmer's markets!
You had one job (mysterious dog owner) and you half -assed it.
Day Sixty-two: Breaking Bad, beer and morning rain. Rainy run, my favorite! Seriously, it's true.. I love rain and running in it! Good thing I found a plastic bag in my jacket to seal up my phone as I wasn't quite prepared for the rain. The one time I wasn't obsessively checking my weather phone app to see what to anticipate, it pours. I went out in my short sleeve running shirt, shorts and other gear in hand. 1/2 way on my route, rain started pouring down, but it was a mild temperature and lovely out. It was a fun surprise. Last night was unusual as I stayed up very late (for me), drank a few beers and watched the first four episodes season one of Breaking Bad (great show by the way), finally fell asleep after a restless time getting comfortable and dreamed a small snippet of a dream...that I was holding chemistry equipment, feeling confused about how to start a batch of meth to make money and I kept looking for Walter White (main character) to help me figure it out . It was bizarre.
Day Forty-eight: Had a great run this morning, despite 3 hours sleep, too many beers and dancing at a wedding last night with my girls. Add on eating only a little bit of food, drinking zero water last night and VOILA..... hangover run! Now time to rehydrate with water, coffee, a good breakfast and most of all, Tylenol. ;)
