Yep, that quote popped into my head and motivated me to get my behind moving and go for a run this morning. So glad I did because I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to kick out 6 miles without my foot bothering me! My Pandora radio station played some really good tunes today and around mile 2 I found myself rockin' out on the greenway. Luckily, nobody was there to witness but I really wouldn't have cared anyway! I have to add that I really don't recommend singing while running - I got pretty winded from it. Ha! As usual, I hit up Starbucks on my way home and chatted on the phone with my grandma as I drove home.
This afternoon I headed out to Ryan's. He cooked up a pretty delicious lunch - cocktail shrimp, scallops, stuffed clams, steamed asparagus and smashed potatoes. Pretty good for a bachelor. He reminded me about halfway through that I hadn't snapped a picture so maybe I'll try to snag one of a plate of leftovers. For dessert he made a lemonade pie that we chowed down on while we drank coffee later in the afternoon. After that, I got my second surprise of the day:
Ryan gave me a purple hoodie as a "good luck" gift before my half marathon this weekend. I'm gonna be lovin' life when I slip this on after I cross the finish line. This guy must really pay attention because it's going to pair perfectly with my purple shoes that I'm going to be sporting that day.
The rest of the afternoon consisted of driving around the country so Ryan could show me his crops and the land in Milton that he owns with his brother. Darcy was totally in her element and had a blast running around out in the field and riding around in the truck. She was a little worn out after all that excitement.
I had rented The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for us to watch but we ran out of time since Ryan had to go into work for a bit this evening. Sooooo, I'm going to be watching it alone tonight, in my Under Armour hoodie of course :)
