Does the "B" stand for Bliss?

We celebrated my co-worker's birthday on Monday by taking her out to a delicious dinner at an Irish Pub followed by a slice of heaven  cake at Maxie B's.

5:20am workout + ab video + 3.5 miles run = MAYBE the equivalent of this:

Red Velvet.

Was is worth it? Hell Yes!

Coworker birthdays should be celebrated monthly. At a minimum. 

unanticipated trail time

I had intended to sleep in. It didn't happen. I'm grateful for that because it hasn't yet reached 80 degrees outside and I got to try out some new (inexpensive) hazelnut coffee while watching my favorite CBS Sunday Morning. I hadn't planned on a run this morning because I did 5.5 trail miles yesterday, but as soon as I felt a cool breeze in the air this morning, my mind was changed.

I love running through terrain in the shade in the summer (or anytime really). I just wish I had a local running buddy with whom to enjoy it. Finding a running buddy is as hard as finding a boyfriend. They have to fit perfectly. Until then, I'll enjoy the peace and quiet and soul searching that running solo provides me.

And then I will search out an amazing bloody mary and fantastic brunch. Perfect Sunday? Perhaps :)
