So far this weekend has been pretty amazing. The weather finally, finally turned and I couldn’t be happier. Yesterday I woke up around 7am and met a couple friends in Prospect Park for a few loops on the road bike before breakfast. Once I got home it was laundry, a shower, and a walk to the farmers market in Grand Army Plaza to get veggies and delicious local turkey for dinner this week. I brought home the delicious spoils and made an amazing lunch of spinach salad loaded with fresh veggies and a side of spicy ground turkey sausage.
Saturday afternoon was spent biking around Brooklyn on the fixie. I renewed my library books, (when was the last time I did that???) and of course I had to take out another, since I was there. Delicious Gorilla coffee and people watching rounded out the last of the final daylight hours.
Today I woke up at 9, which was really 8 but that whole daylight savings thing kicked in last night which is made of AWESOME. I met Wendy in the park around 10 and went for my first outdoor run in a very long time. It was wonderful, exhilarating and exhausting. I may need to take an Advil in the morning but I’ll be back in top condition in no time I’m sure. I spent the afternoon walking around the city stretching my legs after the run and window shopping. I didn’t really have the most exciting of days, but it was peaceful and recharging, preparing me for the week ahead. With the longer days I can only imagine how many interesting, new and outdoor related things I’ll be getting into. Finally. This has been the longest winter of my adult life.
