Paces - Maggie and I got our runs in this week. Sunday - 15 in the misty morning, out and backs are typically boring, especially when they are on one straight, long road...but we manage to make it fun between our talks, made up words, sight seeing, etc. Our 8 on Tuesday was fast - no training run, it was like a race...ended with the last mile pretty much at a 7:20m/m - and I admire anyone that can run that fast all the time! This morning's 7.5 was not as good - it was a training pace run and I was miserable and Maggie fell and twisted her ankle half way out - she hobbled in and I puttered in...thank goodness tomorrow is a rest day.
Faces - It's been a great vacation! Mom and Dad made it down for most of the week and Bever and Dennis joined Maggie and I for the entire week. Although it was sad that my hub and Lady Em had to go home Sunday, but I have actually relaxed! This is not something I do well. I do miss the faces that I see everyday - my hub, my fur kids and the friends that I normally see on an almost daily basis - these faces and spirits fuel me and I cannot wait to see them all again!
Places - the beach house was, in one word, decadent - simply extravagant. I didn't want for anything all week...8 bedrooms, 9 baths, huge kitchen, hot tub, pool and right on the beach...
OBX has a Harris Teeter, which we broke in quite well on grocery day AND let me tell you, Beach Road Grill @ 2519 S. Virginia Dare Trail - Mile Post 10.5 in Nags Head - it's a must.
These twin sisters that own it are from Hopewell, Va and their cook, Miss Carrie, well, let me just say this - HOME.MADE.FRIED.CHICKEN. - save it in your "rolodex" - between the friendly service, the warm and low key atmosphere and the awesome food, it won't disappoint. I wish we had found it sooner.
Run safe, run happy!
