Good weekend of running

Well, my running plan deviated a little.  On Friday, Phill and I decided to eat dinner early and then go for a run.  Well, after dinner, I feel asleep at around 7:00PM and I didn't wake up until 9:00AM on Saturday!  I was obviously exhausted! 

I woke on Saturday feeling absolutely terrible!  I probably felt terrible because I slept for a very long time, but also because I knew I had to battle the Mall that day.  Before going to the mall, Phill and I wandered around the Farmer's Market.  We got this delicious bread - it is really tasty and unique:

After a long trip to the mall for just a few items, Phill and I ran 3.5 miles.  It was a night run, so the weather was nice and cool.  Santa Clara University's campus is a great place to run in the evening - well lit and safe. 

Sunday, Phill and I woke up to do 25 minutes of Yoga.  WOW - my shoulders were tight! I also walked to 7-11 to get some Half and Half for our morning coffee.  Phill went to make breakfast for his Mom for Mother's Day and I vegged out by watching 3 episodes of  Grey's Anatomy while, finally, organizing our socks.  Then we ran 3.5 miles around our neighborhood - 8:3 pace felt like an easy jog on Sunday, which is great!  I followed up the run with 30 minutes of the "Power Yoga" video.  Today my abs are a little sore.

My foot feels pretty good today, so I think I will probably choose to run 2 miles and follow the run up with the "Core Yoga" video.   I leave for Ireland in 5.5 days...and the few days will be a whirlwind. I have so much at work to prepare for, and I still need to pack!  

I can't wait to let you all know why I had such a busy day last week!  Let's hope I can tell you all on Friday afternoon. :)
