when you wake up feeling old.

i got up this morning and put the running shorts on. walking downstairs made me realize that i needed a day off. now, i really don't like doing it but it was a scheduled recovery day (5 miles) so i'm not missing a big one. and i know what happens when i run through too much soreness/stiffness (see cortisone shot in my hip prior to my first stab at the marathon).

anyway, yesterday was nice. i got up, drank my coffee and then headed to the arb for 13 miles. afterwards, we picked up some lunch and headed to governor nelson state park for a picnic and some hiking. oliver even got to swim in the pet swim area. home for a cookout americano style with hotdogs and burgers. the finale of the elver park fireworks is visable from our living room, so that was the finale to our evening as well.

and now thursday morning feels like a monday.

happy thursday.
