Complete Randomness

Got up bright and early this morning - 5:15 am - that's pretty early for a Saturday morning.  I was out the door by 6:30 am for a 9 mile run.  It was my longest run in at least a year.  The run went very well.  I averaged an 11:45 pace - much slower than that possible 11:26 pace for the half marathon pace group, but still a decent pace for me.  I was pretty spent after 9 miles though.....13 is still going to be tough.  My legs are extremely sore.  It was a pretty hilly run.  I really wish I had more time to train.  Oh well, I can do it, but I don't think the 2:30 half marathon is in the cards for me this time.  Maybe next time?

After my run I came home, stretched, showered and headed back out the door at 10:30 am for brunch with a couple of girlfriends (hence the early Saturday morning wake up).  I must really, really like them.  I do :)  We went to this really great vegan/vegetarian restaurant in downtown KC.  I meant to take a picture of my food but forgot.  I had apple cheddar bruschetta - AMAZING!! 

After lunch, I headed out the door again to go see a movie with my sister.  We went to see Soul Surfer.  It was better than I expected - a little cheesy, but a very inspirational story - bring tissues.  For the record however, Carrie Underwood - not the world's best actress.  She was painfully bad in this movie.

Finally home again....but decided to take Jack for a walk.  It was gorgeous in KC again today.  Temps in the upper 80s and sunny.  It was a little windy, but that's ok.  Jack as always, had a great time - and was excited for his second walk of the day.  After we got home I did a little yard work and then headed to dinner with Jim.  The dinner was pretty lousy, but the company of course was wonderful.  We did eat outside on the patio.....did I mention the weather here was awesome today?

I had a great, but busy Saturday.  Another busy day tomorrow - housework and taxes = no fun at all!! I also plan to go to hot yoga to help stretch out my sore muscles.

Did you notice my new favicon?  Don't know what that is?  It's the pic in the left hand corner that usually shows a big orange B - now it's a cute turtle.  Want your own?  Dion at Favicon Fixer will make you your very own.  It's very easy and it's the new bloggy thing to do!
