We were all up early this morning so that we could fit in our runs before Ryan's grandparents came over to visit. Ryan was part of the pick-up crew, so he was out around 7:00 am for his run; I headed out about a 1/2 hour later. The plan was to get in 10 miles, so I decided to run the Weldon Farm loop twice. It was in the mid-50s when I headed out - ahhh! perfect! - and I went out trying to keep the pace easy and comfortable. Got back to the house at 5 miles, just as Dana and Ryan were headed out. Took a few swigs of Gatorade and headed out again, this time running the loop backwards. Around 7 miles, just before the hill, I needed to pee, but there is poison ivy in this area almost everywhere - ack! I saw a long driveway at the edge of a field, and hopped off the road and into the woods in an area that was thankfully PI free. Luckily no one drove down the driveway while I was there :-) Legs started to feel a bit tired near the end, but still managed to run the last 3 miles faster than the others and got in what was a decent 10 miler, all before 9am.
Spent the rest of the day hanging out with the family. Sam had a lot of fun with Great-Grammie, Bampie, Grammie and Grampie. It was a lovely day and we spent a good chunk of the day outside enjoying it. For dinner, we headed to Newburyport for a yummy mexican food dinner, a walk along the river and then a stop for ice cream. Best of all, Sam was so tired out from all the activity that she was asleep by 8:15. A win win! :-)
