We both headed back to bed for a little bit, but we weren't sleepy enough for a nap yet, so we went to the Farmers Market to get this week's veggies. On the way back we stopped off at the grocery store to pick up everything that we couldn't find at the farmers market. Which was a fair bit because hardly an vendors were able to make it into the city today as there was a large accident on the highway that was obstructing traffic.
After getting back from the groceries, we made a couple bowls of oatmeal and a side of toast topped off with a mug of hot chocolate. At that point, we figured we were probably ready for a nap, which we did, for about two hours! It felt wonderful too!
After the nap, we took the dogs up for a walk to Mount Kaukau, and then back home for some lunch, baking and other prep work for the week to come. It was at this point that Kristie said that we should probably do a 10 KM run tonight so as to get in our requisite mileage for our training. Needless to say, I wasn't into it. But as any good husband should I simply replied: Yes dear.
The run itself, for me, started out kind of crappy. We hadn't gone more than about 250 metres and I was already huffing and puffing, but luckily due to our training, the conditioning kicked in not long afterwards and I ended up having a pretty good run. Kristie was a bit tired by the end due to our walk up Kaukau, but she still kept a really good pace. We were about a minute and a half faster than our regular pace.
So there you have it, even though I had resigned myself to not having a run today, we still got one in.
