Good weekend...finally got home after 9 days in Kentucky!

I don't have anything to AW.

Sort of...I ran 8 miles on Saturday morning before my flight. I went less than 8:30 pace (thank you, altitude!) and felt fucking fantastic.

I made manicotti last night for DH for Father's Day. It's just about the only thing I can make and it was yum.

I suppose so...I ran 7 of the 9 days I was gone. However, I gained 4 pounds. Holy too many peanut butter m&ms and carby cafeteria food. Seriously...it was a tough food week.
