Sunday morning run

Today, Leslie and I started our day as we do most Sundays,we slept in till our stomachs began to grumble, and our running voices began to mutter at us. We had to do our last training long run for our half marathon next weekend. So we rolled out of bed, coffee was a brewing, and we were looking all over the apartment for warm enough clothing to run in 30 degree weather. We enjoy starting our running days with the best, most nutritious breakfast that we can, so this morning was no different. One kolache, cinnamon twist, banana and a coffee and we were on our way :)

We ran at Terry Hershey Park in the Langham Creek part of town, and did just over 10 miles in 2 hours. Running has been something we have grown to enjoy. We run with Leslie's dad, Don, and we have signed up for the Houston Half Marathon next Sunday, Jan 17th. Last year we did the Austin Half Marathon, which was a little peace of 'hell on earth' with all the hills, so we decided to go from the most hilly course in Texas to one of the flattest. So here we are, one week away, and we should be good to go.

Our run went well, and after we were done, there was high priority for more nutrition. Potbelly was our choice. You see, we tend to spoil ourselves on running day, if you didn't pick up on that at breakfast. A sandwhich, soup, and the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookie we have found anywhere, and our blood sugar was 'back in business'. The rest of the day we relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the beautiful day on our couch watching movies.
