Rest Needed

Well, our visitors headed back to Chicago this morning and the manfriend and I are enjoying the rest of our long weekend. Because I did my runs one day ahead of schedule this weekend, I opted to take today as a rest day.

Well, that and the fact that I ran 6 miles yesterday morning and then we hiked a hilly 4 miles with our guests.

After hiking, we showed them around the Saturday Market to get a flavor of Eugene and enjoy some great people watching. Someday, when I have a bigger garden, I need these stakes that identify the plants. I especially enjoyed the 'dead weeds' marker.

Tie dye anyone?

Eventually, we grabbed some lunch at home before heading out to cheer on the Ducks. Unfortunately, they lost to LSU, but we still had a great time!

With a few busy, but fun days behind us, my body was telling me I needed a day off. So, I did a little Dave Farmar yoga and decided that was enough. I spent a few hours with my feet up (in compression socks), staring at this for a few hours.

Okay, it's off to bed I go. I hope to wake up rested and ready for a little trail run.

Theme of the week: easy does it! Just 6 days 'til my first 50K!
