Today I am again happy to be a runner - but today was a day off. I am looking forward to running tomorrow. I will try to get 6 miles in before work. That should be good. I really should take some clothes and my gym bag to leave at work and run to work. It is about 8 miles. I could do that, as long as I took a shower after I got there. I have a make up bag and brush and hair dryer and curling iron in my desk - for days when I bike to work (which I haven't done since last summer).
The picture above was something that I thought was funny on my run on Saturday. Mind you, I had just completed 13.1 miles (and had still 1.9 miles to go) when I came upon this bike trail espresso stand. Really, it is on the bike trail - not the road. It is only accessible by bike or foot. It was packed with spandex wearing bike riders. I am sure it would be fun to take a leisurely bike ride and stop for a cup of joe along the way. I think I know a J-mom who would really like it. Not to suggest that she is anything LIKE a LEISURELY bike rider.
Today I was meeting with the director of nursing in my office and mentioned something about running. He said "oh, you're a runner?" And I was so happy that I had fresh meat to tell all about training for a marathon!!! Everyone else is sick of hearing about it. And I was thrilled there was still at least one person in the hospital who hasn't heard me talk about it.
Looking forward to 6 miles tomorrow!
I prefer the beer stands myself ;-) Never stop being proud of yourself!! You've earned it...
ReplyDeleteEspresso on the trail sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO at Wes!! I can TOTALLY see Lisa joining that group LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL at the espresso stand! That sounds like something you'd see here in California -- except I haven't seen anything like that here, ever!
ReplyDeleteMary, I have forgotten, but what is your profession? Are you in nursing? I can't remember, but if you are, I'd love to bend your ear about it a bit, seeing that is my future career. :-)
Hope you got in a good six miler!
ReplyDeleteWhy yes, I would LOVE that!! Hmm...maybe I should open one of those here!!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO for your run!
You are a runner
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of running to work! You should drop off clothes like you said and plan to do that someday.
