But on Saturday, I was set to run. The weather was great - in the low 50s, with low humidity. Although it took me about 20 minutes to find the water bottles for our hydration pack/belt that I put in a special place because I knew I'd need them, I still managed to get everything ready for the run. Diane is training for the Silos Half Marathon in May, so she had 8 miles on tap. She and Jeff met up extra early to run a 3 mile loop, and then the rest of the Renegades and I showed up to join them for our run.
Well, all of my stress got to me - it's not just the crazy week of the renovation, but some other issues, and I had been awake since 3:00 am, my stomach was a mess, and I maybe ran a mile with Jeff and Diane before deciding to walk. I tried to get them to continue with their run, but they ended up walking back to the park with me, planning on running once I was back at my car - it was dark and they didn't want me roaming the streets alone, which was nice. Unfortunately, as we were walking back on the sidewalk, Diane caught her toe on an uneven part and went flying - it was horrible to watch, almost slo-motion, as she fell face-first to the ground. I thought for sure she'd hit her chin, but she managed to break the fall mostly with her forearms, so she really didn't even have any road rash. She was super sore, of course, and worried about her Garmin because she felt it smash on the ground, but it wasn't scratched either - go Garmin!
That was it for all of us - we decided it was time to head on over to Blue Baker. I texted the rest of the group to let them know, and we changed and left. When Karen and Andi arrived, we found out that Andi had tripped and fallen as well! She was in a different area, but how crazy that two of our runners fell that morning. Her palms were scraped up but she was OK otherwise, thankfully. Here's our two warriors:
They've fallen - but they CAN get up!
I was at the counter ordering our food while Jeff was at our table, chatting with our baker, Chris. When I got to the table with our breakfast, I noticed that we didn't have any ciabatta bread, which was unusual. Jeff showed me where it was:
It was still in the oven! We were going to get fresh, warm-from-the-oven ciabatta bread this morning, woohoo!
Butter was procured by all, and when Chris handed us these lovely loaves, we dug in. I usually don't bother with the extra bread, but I did this time...I mean, there's a time and a place for moderation, but warm-from-the-oven bread? That is not the time.
One last item from our morning:
Mason showed his Renegade colors by continually snatching bacon from Loretta's plate - he knows what's good! It was pretty cute to watch him enjoy bacon as much as the rest of us do.
