A rare day off
Aug. 3rd, 2016 04:57 pmWith R on holiday this week, I made a last minute decision to take the day off for some much needed rest and recreation. After a gentle start to the day, we went down to the quay, I coated myself in sunblock, and we hit the running trail and went almost as far as the Turf Hotel before turning back. According to the milage counter, I think I did 19K and R, who missed the 5K loop from my place to the river, did around 14K.
Afterwards we went to the Quay workshop cafe for essential rehydration after deciding that our sweaty, athletic look would be less out of place there; and also reasoning that, like Cheers it's always best to go and recover in the place where everyone knows your name.
After lunch R headed off down the coast to sort out some domestic chores before a girls' night out to see Ghostbusters while I went home for a much-need shower and a siesta. It was by far the nicest day off I've had in a long time.
