Hustle N Bustle 10k

Sunday, me and a friend did the Hustle N Bustle 10k for the Wounded Warrior Project. I'll start by saying it was a great run and it was for a good cause, but it had a rough start. The location of the start line was a little unclear and it was a bit of a gaggle, but once we started running all the little things didn't matter. It was a great course through the woods in Prince William Forest Park and even though it was a little humid, it was pretty cool in the woods. And as usual, it included the bain of my existence - a mean hill at the turn around point. If you read my last post, it was a 40-breath hill.

It was a really pretty run

But, I'm not a very pretty runner. Yeah, running isn't cute

The other side of the spectrum from hills, is my favorite thing in the world - Sunday brunch. We went to The Cheesecake Factory, which I didn't even know they had a Sunday brunch, but oh. They do. Right before we got seated, a waiter walked past with someone's food and all I knew was I wanted THAT. "That" ended up being Factory Huevos Rancheros, which pretty much came down to 3 sunny side up eggs, on top of cheese quesadillas, on top of black beans and covered in salsa, sour cream and avocado. I don't have a single complaint and I recommend you go there this Sunday.

I also got a piece of cheesecake to-go - Mango Key Lime. Yeah. Get that, too.

Yesterday, I woke up with a shooting pain radiating from my ankle up the side of my calf, so I decided it was time for a rest day, even though that's really hard for me. I woke up refreshed today for a 7-miler before work, so obviously it was just what the doctor ordered. Sometimes rest really is the answer and even though you feel as though you're getting off track by missing a run, you'll be even more off track if you cause more damage.

Tomorrow, I'm *hoping* to knock out an 8-miler, but the long weekend is going to be a little iffy because I'll be traveling. After the holiday, it's really going to be time to start buckling down because we're just over two months out from the Air Force Marathon! Woohoo!
