I intended to run extra today since I was taking the day off for my birthday. I was going to wait and run when the sun was up but one thing led to another and I ended up not running.
It was okay though, I spent a good part of the day with my two year old granddaughter. She was born on my birthday two years ago. It was fun being together on our birthday. We took a walk around the neighborhood hand-in-hand with me telling her what different things were and her repeating what they were and telling me what color they were. She especially liked the red fire hydrant. We also sat in the grass in the front yard throwing tree fuzzies on each other and playing tag. She then went running errands with Karen and me, including the post office, clothes shopping, and grocery shopping.
Karen had made me a nice meal for my birthday on Sunday so on my real birthday on Monday I was allowed to make my first meatloaf. I think it turned out pretty good. There were no leftovers.
It was a good day. Since I ran hard on Saturday maybe an extra day of rest was good for this old body.
