This weekend was a ridiculous food extravaganza, starting Friday night and ending Sunday night, interrupted only by an 8 mile run on Saturday morning. So today, the plan was for a bit of "detox" with a lot of fruits and veggies on the menu and definitely a run. After a morning of errands and a bit of work, Snowman and I headed out this afternoon to the Commons for a run. Although it was 52 degrees, it was incredibly windy, with some serious gusts kicking up all day long. We first looped around the field before heading onto the Commons trails, and were pleasantly surprised to find the trails almost totally devoid of snow/ice and pretty dry. Once we got into the woods, we were protected from the wind and it was quite nice. We got in 6 miles in exactly an hour, and once again, it was good to run with Snowman and chat as we ran along.
In keeping with the plan, tonight was a healthy dinner of salad and Moroccan Roasted Veggies over brown rice, but it was followed up with huge bowls of delicious ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery so we may have canceled all the "detox" out! Ah well... Pregnancy might as well have a few benefits :-)

Hey, aren't you eating for two? So have that cold stone creamery (is there one in Brunswick?). Today was my rest day so I went for a one hour bike ride. I think on one long, gradual downhill, the relative wind speed must have been a continuous (not gust) 50 mph (sum of the true wind speed = 35 mph and my bike speed = 15 mph - a rediculously slow speed for a slight downhill!).
Yes, there is a cold stone in Cook's Corner, and I have a feeling we'll be there more often over the next few months :-)
As for the wind, I can't imagine trying to ride a bike today! You are one brave man.
Cold Stone does the mix in just like a place called Steve's that Cacky and I frequented in Philadelphia back in 1984-1988. Ummmmm. But we didn't get good (or any) mix-in ice cream until the Cold Stone moved into Portland about 4 years ago. Ummmmm. We're regulars.
nice post and thanks for sharing....
