I have had some great runs this week. Perhaps it was running in the rain on Saturday that has made really appreciate running on dry pavement since then. Perhaps it’s the fact the weather in New York is finally feeling springlike. Or maybe it’s because I brought my bike out of hibernation on this week and have a renewed appreciation for outdoor exercise after Tuesday’s 2 hour bike ride along the Hudson.
I don’t know, but I’m a happy camper. Erm, runner.
Don’t mind me. I’m just a sweaty mess because I conquered 3 miles of hills in Central Park.
That was tonight’s run. Yesterday, I got out for 4 miles down the West Side Highway. Love running this city.
Also, I love bread. On Sunday, I made the spelt bread from Cornucopia’s cookbook (a favorite), which my good friend over at Basil Exposition made recently as well. She inspired me to give this recipe a go, and it was pretty tasty, for a non-yeasted bread. By pretty tasty I mean it didn’t last more than 12 hours.
And that’s what’s getting me through the week: plenty of time outside and good quality carbs. Happiness.
