Wiley and I headed out for an evening run tonight. BRRRRR it is cold out there! But it was a nice run. I’ve been sick off and on all week (mostly on) so I haven’t run as much as I’d have liked to. Got in a little over 5 miles at a pretty decent pace for the dark, so I’m pleased. Congestion wasn’t bad at all, so that made me happy too.

About halfway through our run we passed the pet store and I realized I had not ever taken Wiley in, so I turned off the Garmin and zipped on in. I swear he looked at me like, “Mom? Is this heaven??” He was SO well behaved! We picked out a toy and some snacks that would fit in my pack and then finished our run. I really wanted to get six miles in but I was not warming up, and since I have a long run planned for tomorrow decided that was good enough.

Got home and put a pear crisp in the oven. Our CSA box keeps bringing up pears and the only way I like them is in a crisp, so it’ll be warm pear crisp tonight! Fortunately I have more pears coming so I’ll make it for Thanksgiving.
