I somehow managed to squeeze in the yardwork between late friday/early Sat morning. After having dinner with a friend, I got about 75% of my push mowing done before darkness fell friday night. (Happy Mother's Day mom, your yard is looking beautiful!!)
Sat morning, I finished the yard & headed to pilates class.
I then went to Salon Allure,(Linda & Gena's new salon since they closed down Studio 2000). I got a little pampering done then I bought mulch. Somehow that sentence seems so wrong! ha!
Carla & Chris both were interested in running Bell Buckle today but both got sidetracked at the last minute. Steve did show up, thank God. He & I started shortly after 5pm. It was hot, humid, etc... We should have been shot running at that hour but I've run the course under much more miserable conditions. Luckily, God made it overcast for us after 2 miles & it was bearable. I did my usual stopping & starting, which became more frequent with the hills on Happy Valley. Why is Happy Valley road never that happy? :P Anyway, Steve pulled me along even though he stayed way ahead of me for most of the run. I would have been a lot slower if he had not been there. I did my usual negative split believe it or not, but the overall pace for me was just 10:31. It could have been worse but man, oh man, it has been BETTER!! Last years training run with the Murf. pacers was much faster for me.
After we finished, I got a diet coke & nutty buddy. Talk about undoing the good... I went into a store & bought a very cool flower ring. :) Happy Mother's day to me!
We somehow got a table in the Bell Buckle Cafe. What a lively place that was, gesh! They had a band in there. We sat outside in a little porch area with a cat. Too funny! I fed it some of my cornbread. I ran into someone I know that I had not seen in forever. You know how that goes...you look nasty & you see people you haven't seen in a while, but it's usually in Walmart when this happens. Great food & company, btw.
We closed down the cafe.
Good Times!
