Well folks, the boyfriend is out of town, and you know what my first thought was? Now I can get up early on the weekend and do stuff instead of sleeping in and cuddling! Sick, I know. So with the BF gone, I got up early on Saturday to partake in more Summer Streets goodness. I met with my DetermiNation team at our usual spot and joined them for a run. They were all running much longer, so the plan was to run about 4 miles, then rent a bike from Summer Streets so I could enjoy the course without having to run the whole thing. A genius idea!
My run was ok. I’ve been really stiff lately so I was looking forward to getting on a bike and using some different muscles for a change. Good news is I did get to use some different muscles: my standing around and waiting muscles. Many of you may not know that there are all sorts of free things at Summer Streets, including free bike rentals, so I expected there to be a line. When I got in the line, the guy told us it would be about a 30 minute wait. I was fine with that, since MiMi was with me and we had PLENTY to talk about ;) But over an hour later, we were still waiting. Now it was the principle of the thing. After an hour and a half of waiting, we finally had our bikes. (Word to the wise, if you want to rent a bike, get there at 7am when they open. Or rent rollerblades. There was no line for that.)
We only had the bikes for an hour, so we didn’t get as far as I wanted, but it was still pretty fun. It was a beautiful day, Park Ave is pretty, and MiMi and I sampled lots of free food and goodies along the way. The rest of my day consisted of playing with puppies (!!!), reading the New Yorker by the pool, and eating almost anything with a peanut in it. Why peanuts? Josh is allergic and I'm not allowed to eat them around him, so I’m trying to get my fill while he's away. He’ll be gone for over a week. I think that’s enough time to get all peanutted out.
