Today, I was up right at 5:15 AM, and the coffee was ALREADY BREWING!!! This coffee thing is bringing an element of luxury to my life that I would compare to living at the Ritz or having a butler. If you see me swanning about in an ascot tie or carrying a Birkin bag, you will know just how far this coffee thing has gone.
The whole coffee thing made my drive to the park to run about one thousand times better, and when I got there, I was pleased to meet up with some running cronies who were happy to tool along without any major competition. I felt it was a fitting re-entry to the Saturday morning long run scene, I got in about 9 miles and enjoyed every minute chatting about new churches, everyone's vacations, Brazilian Keratin hair treatments, and flood damage. Great times!!
At home, I took Ivan on a walk, put Ivan down for a nap and got in a Gilad workout. When Ivan woke up we headed to Leiper's Fork for a pottery show, which was just lovely. Ivan was invited, and he spent the whole time outside in the playhouse, which was best now that I think about it. Ivan in a room full of pottery was a bad idea or epic proportions in retrospect.
Now, tomorrow morning, I am headed out to the lake for the first lake swim of the season. It is really exciting to get out on the lake when it is calm like glass, and have an easy swim: on mile out and one mile back. Tomorrow, though, is the first day, so I think that we have to swim circles in the shallows so that our coach can make sure none of us is a candidate for drowning. Next week we should get to swim out long.
