The sky was pretty overcast and we were having a cooler than normal day so it didn't feel too bad to run in the afternoon. I think it was only in the low 80s. I am so ready for some low fifties running. I think Cola was enjoying the cooler temps too.
This morning I got up and did a 3 mile bike ride, parked my bike in the ditch and ran 5 miles then biked home. The 5 miles felt the best it has felt in a long time. Not as good as I know it can, but better than it has.
Then I got started on a box of cherries from the western part of the state. I made four batches of jam and canned 5 quarts of cherries. I have a lot of cherry jam now. I also watched 3 and a half episodes from season 3 of Greys Anatomy while I was busy dicing cherries. Boring, but.. YUM
and Rocky's eyes started opening yesterday. She is two weeks old today and really starting to grow! Check out her little half mustache across her nose.
when we were in WY I loved the cool mornings! I sure hope to have those soon here in the midwest but I am sure that isnt happening!
ReplyDeleteThose cherries look delicious! I totally still watch Grey's Anatomy too--even though it has gotten a little ridiculous in recent seasons, I can't help it, I'm hooked in for the long haul!! :)
ReplyDeletecutting up cherried= messy yumminess. They add a nice touch to smoothies! But that's a lot of cherries on your part to dice up!! Nice double :)

ReplyDeleteLike the first photo of you and your dog. Yes, I love cherries too! Our cherry season is over now. It's usually late June. Your little baby kitten is so adorable! I'm getting excited for H2C. We had our team meeting Thurs nite and got our t-shirts. Less than two weeks away!
ReplyDeleteCherry jam sounds so yummy! Good thinking on doing two separate runs during the day. That is a great way to prepare for the relay. OOOH HTC is so close! I cannot wait for the recap!
ReplyDeleteIt honestly sounds/looks like it was a great weekend. I can't wait for you to do htc. I know you'll love it! Such an amazing experience.
ReplyDeleteThose cherries look awesome! My kids loved running in the jogger this weekend! Luckily my brother was the one pushing them because those kids are not light!
ReplyDeleteRocky is getting big---and is going to be a super spoiled, beautiful kitty some day soon! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd nice job on your runs/bikes! With the kids? Atta girl!
Cherries & watermelon are my FAVORITE summer foods!

Biking somewhere to run is genius! If I actually liked to bike, I'd totally do that.
