Taking Turns

Mel went out for a run around the lake today while Finn and I were still sleeping. After sleeping in, breakfast, and a bit of coffee, it was my turn to run. The weather was cool and overcast-- just right for a longer weekend run (7.1 miles today).

Highlights of today's run: listening to the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack (great, laid-back music for a longer moderate run), running by the Grand Lake Farmer's Market with all of the good smells and sights, trying out my new Under Armour compression shorts from REI, running with the seemingly hundreds of Oakland residents around the lake, and getting back to a decent pace at this distance.

Listen to "Angel Band," by The Stanley Brothers, from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack.
