3. going to the grocery store
4. buying a box to send the present I got my friend two weeks ago
5. returning that really cool necklace I got that broke before I ever got to wear it

7. updating Nathan's baby book
8. calling back one of my best friends to get the latest boy update

Enjoy the break!

I'm simply amazed at a 7:39 pace long run. I can barely do that for a mile!

I have to tell you... I thought about you today at the end of my long run... I was exhausted after almost 2 hours of crazy hills (and a huge bike day yesterday) and had about a mile left to get home... Stopped at a light and this kinda heavy set guy who didn't look like a runner ran up behind me... I SO DID NOT want to have to race a fat guy on that last mostly uphill mile to my house, but also no way I was gonna let this guy run by me. End of story- he didn't run by me. But I did see him after I stopped and he was maybe 30 sec back... We all have a little snark in us I guess. :)

glad you enjoyed a relaxed evening! We are too... Just hanging out watching the Tour de France. Nice. :)
