5K, Farmers' Market, Coffee, Soup

Yesterday was a good day.

The race was so much fun. I jogged the entire way, but my heart rate was about 10 beats higher than normal and my time about a minute/mile slower. I finished in 30 minutes. Next race is with Duke in October. Usually slower with dog stops. 

Love this message we passed.

Starting line. Almost 700 people.

The walk back to the car got a detour to a tiny farmers market. I little misunderstanding of "two tomatoes" gave me two BUCKETS of tomatoes. And I bought a huge seeded watermelon (cutting it today), and two ears of incredible corn. All organic. I thought my arms were going to give way and drop the watermelon. It was SO HEAVY with bags of tomatoes hanging from my wrists, but I made it to the car. 

This meant tomato soup -- double batch. I cooked all afternoon. Soup, hummus (to use radish from the garden), apple sauce. Why do I add this stuff on?? Future me will be happy because my freezer is stocked with stuffed peppers, soup, and applesauce, but I'm paying the price with my time this weekend.

I also met my friend for a couple of hours at the coffee shop 2 blocks from my house. Great catch up. Love being able to walk. I hope this never gets old. 

My heart rate is back to normal this morning and I feel like myself again. Thankful for vaccines. 

Best get going. That list isn't going to do itself and kids are coming over for football early today. I love a day with my grandson, but granny has a bunch of stuff to get finished hahaha. It's plant watering day -- ugh, a dreaded task in this house. 

Have a good one. Later gators.
