Woke at 5:15am, walked the dog for 25 minutes with Rachel, then we rode our bikes 70 minutes to Homer Lake. Hiked for 1 hour, where I may have gotten poison ivy on my legs, then we ate a few snacks next to the lake. Rode our bikes 70 minutes back to town. I refueled at home and then ran 16 miles, finishing off the run at 2:00pm at Bombay Grill, where I met Rachel for Indian lunch buffet. After eating 3 plates of food, I walked 2.5 miles home in a very light rain. The rain stopped soon after I arrived home, so I read a bit of Lore of Running in the hammock underneath the towering fir trees in the yard. I dragged my tired body off the hammock and rode my bike to Busey Woods and hiked around for an hour. I then sat on a bench in Friendship Grove and my mind started wandering as I stared at the now blue sky. I rode my bike home, then decided to get back on my bike and rode to First Wok and got some fried rice. I stopped at Walgreens and bought a grape juice, the clerk asked if I wanted to add some chocolate M & M's to my purchase. I laughed, and realized my mind was getting loopy. I walked to a nearby park and ate fried rice and drank grape juice. I rode my bike home and played the guitar on the front steps, the sun starting to set. When I finished my sunset raga Rachel and I walked the dog, and now I am indoors, ready to sleep. |
