AM: 13.5 miles. Met the Sunday run group late to get a little extra rest. The rumors are true, our long-lost training Sean has returned from injury. He's a great guy & runner, and it was good to see him back. I'm feeling pretty well overall since Friday, but drained. Once we turned into Brightwaters, Mike and Sean turned on the jets and I stayed back with Christina, who was still running much faster than I would have preferred.
At home, I brainstormed with the girls - what to do for Labor Day? Elise suggested making pumpkin pie - not traditional, but anything involving food sounds good to me nowadays. We headed to the store with a long list of ingredients - a lot of our old spices got tossed in the move. We bought everything but cardamom - I couldn't justify $10 for a 1/4 teaspoon of that. Compared to homemade ice cream, the sugar is manageable, but you are looking at a solid cup and a half of heavy cream.
PM: 3.5 miles with Elise on her bike before the daily thunderstorm rolled in.
