Weekend update
May. 16th, 2005 03:26 pm*yawn* I could have used another day off, you bet.
Joy and wonder, we had a weekend where we didn't have to visit any family! It's so nice when that happens!
Despite my best efforts to stay in on Saturday and snooze, husband and I went out for a drive to Rutgers, specifically to the Cook Botanical Gardens. It was a special time to go, since approximately eleven years prior, a scruffy floppy-haired engineer with the most beat-ass car you ever saw showed up at Bunting-Cobb dorm to take a young, self-absorbed bleached-blonde out for a study break. They made it as far as a nice sitting-rock by a stream in the Cook gardens, and then talked for about three hours. The rest, as they say, is history.
This time, we walked through some of the nature trails and scrambled down to the banks of the Raritan. On our way out, we saw three bridal parties having photos taken, and there was an outdoor wedding reception at the Log Cabin. Nice day for it - May can be so mercurial in its weather!
Sunday was our busy day out of the two. Husband and I had both registered for the Midland Run, which is a large fitness/fundraising event that takes place very nearby where we live. Husband has already run two 5K races and one 5 mile, but this was my first go at it. I've only been running steadily for about a month and a half, but I'd done the distance twice without dropping dead. It was an enormous event, and we were glad we could walk there. We picked up our number bibs and a computer chip that logs you when you finish - kind of like EZPass, I guess.
