What a FANTASTIC Day!!!

So I took Friday off... what a GREAT decision! It was one of those days that I look back and go, "Wow... awesome day!"

My day started at 3:45 AM. Yep... woke up early because I was meeting Becky at the lake to run 9 miles. I stretched and ate and met her out there at 5:30. The run was REALLY good for me. She was yawning, but woke up around mile 2.5 when she almost got run over by a bicyclist.

Quick story: Ok, so when you run that early it's dark until about 6:15. We were running and talking along West Lawther - we were on the road instead of the trail to avoid the bugs, and have better footing. Normally the bikers come straight towards us because that is their normal route. However, I noticed a light coming behind us when it was about 20 yards away. By the time I told Becky, "Biker behind us," he was probably 10 yards. She, being tired, was thinking it was a car and moved towards me (she was on the right side of the road and I was on the left). Well, he was trying to split us at that moment (without letting us know he was doing that) and she almost got hit. He pressed the brakes hard and cussed and I thought he was going to flip. Anyway, after that, Becky had stopped yawning.

So we continued talking and running. It was still humid, but not as humid as in previous runs. We made it around the lake and back to the cars by 7:15 AM. She left to go get ready for work... I left to get ready for a nap! I stopped off at Sonic and picked up a Route 44 Cherry Limeade and a breakfast burrito. Came home, showered, ate my breakfast, and headed to bed by 9.

An hour and half later, I'm up. I got ready and picked up Joey for lunch. We went to Tokyo One (all-you-can-eat Sushi) in Addison, then caught The Simpsons Movie. If you haven't seen it yet, it's pretty dang funny. I was surprised... and being a fan, I was pleased!

After dropping Joey off, I went home and for some reason had a bunch of calls that day from various friends and family. After returning those, I decided to stay in and end the day by ordering my favorite pizza (Pizza Inn thin crust Italian Sausage/Pepperoni/Jalepenos) and enjoying a few beers. Went to bed around 11...

Seriously, a fantastic day!
