Vacay Day 10 - Longest Long Run (so far)

This morning, after the worst night of sleep I have had in a while (a combination of a not so awesome bed, a back ache and my dad's non stop snoring) I got up to do my longest long run for my 10K training.  I know that the long runs I will be doing for my half marathon will outpace that quickly, but it was still the longest I had done so far.  Those 6.5 miles were not bad, and I got them done in a time that bodes well for me being able to meet my goal of sub 1:20:00 at the race on July 4.

After my run, I got ready and waited for my dad and brother to be ready for brunch.  There wasn't anything to eat at my brother's apartment so I was starving by the time we ate at 10:30.  We went to IHOP and I had the brioche bananas foster french toast.  It was delicious!  I only ate one of the three pieces, but it was super filling.

After brunch, I went to the house of a friend who lives about 15 minutes away and hung out with them and their kids.  I even accompanied them to the grocery store.  They bought me some Blue Bell ice cream!  It was delicious!  I shared some with their youngest daughter.

After spending the afternoon with them, I went back to my brother's apartment to help make dinner.  It wasn't anything special, just a frozen lasagna and garlic bread, but I am glad I was there to help.  Let us just say that the instructions were not read very thoroughly the first time through.

While dinner was cooking, we watched a movie called Everything Must Go with Will Farrell.  My dad picked it because he likes Will Ferrell, but none of us knew anything about it.  It was not your Standard Will Ferrell fare.  It was definitely a more serious movie.  It was ok,  not something I would choose of my own accord to watch again, but not a movie that I regret the hours I spent watching it.

While we were eating dinner we watched Star Trek: Nemesis, which is atypical for us since we are all bigger Star Wars fans. It was better than I remembered it being and my brother had never seen it, so it was fun.  After that we headed off to bed, rearranging the sleeping arrangements.  I rarely (intentionally) use the "I'm a girl," business to get a preferential bed, but I did tonight.  I do not want a repeat of my sleeplessness from yesterday.  One day of bad sleep is tolerable,  but two days makes me really grumpy.
