The Early Bird...Sticks to Its Workout Schedule

On Saturday I decided to sleep in! No alarm setting, just waking up with the birds when my body decided to on its own. It felt great! I slept until almost 9am! Knowing that I still needed to get a good run in, I didn't waste any time getting ready and was on the road at 9:16am. A short 5 minutes into my run I knew sleeping in was a mistake - It was already extremely hot and I had decided to run west on the trail which means less shade...and a few more hills. After 30 minutes and one hill too many, I decided to call it a day and turn around then, only getting in 6 miles. (Needless to say, my "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" mantra didn't push me far enough that day!) Oh well - that's still 1 mile ahead of my original planned training schedule, so I guess I can't complain!

I spent the rest of Saturday doing a little yard work and then headed out to mom's in Winchester for a low key BBQ. Rachel & her BF decided to join us too, so I was psyched to get to spend some time with her (and get to know her lova). I went to bed stuffed and left early the next morning to prepare for my husband coming home!!! After over a week, Frank finally returned from the far corners of MA around 6pm Sunday evening. It's so great to have him home - I'm honestly a little surprised how much I missed him! (Just re-reading that, I realize that might sound a bit cold-hearted, but being a pretty independent person, it did surprise me that I found myself extremely lonely without my other half...)
