And then we made a bed

So today was the big day. Our 20 miler. With BIG hills. We skipped swimming and headed out the door from our place at 8 am on the button for our jaunt around False Creek, past the new Olympic Village, around Science World and then west to Stanley Park. Where we ran around the seawall except that we elected to run over Prospect Point... 1 mile or so and 300 ft of gain. Essentially half of the BIG hill at the BIG show that is BIG SUR. Then it was down the other side (2 mile descent... ouch on the quads) and then turned around at the bottom of the hill and went up and over again. Double ouch. Then it was 10 km to home. So 20 miles in 3:15ish... that would be my fault... I was full of beans this morning. Some one put extra get up and go in my corn squares!

Then it was off to brunch with Dan and Leeny at the FABULOUS Burgoo where I definetly earned my Pain Francais smoothered in warm vanilla infused maple syrup, bananas and hazelnuts. YUM!! Definetly one to remember for brunches or special breakfasts for Brian!



But we weren't done there. No sir! We came home, did our ice bathes, watched some golf (Brian), tidied various parts of the house (both of us), and built our new Ikea bed. Yup yup. Full of beans! And now we are waiting for dinner to be delivered and then I will finally stop. I promise Brian! I really will stop!

Full of beans? Sudden spike in blog posts? Doing furniture assembly after workouts? You wouldn't, perchance, be tapering?

Just watch out for taper tantrums!
