today was the first opportunity i had to have most of the day on saturday with the car to run errands. i took full advantage of this. in the morning i took ben to the south city store and helped him set up for the sidewalk sale. then it was off to meet amy (old truman teammate) for breakfast at first watch (i got the bacado, pretty standard for me -- omelette with bacon and avocado topped with salsa). amy was in town for a friends bridal shower so it was nice to take a couple hours and catch up!
then it was off to get my eyes checked and FINALLY order some new glasses. my glasses had not been updated since my freshman year of college (fall of 1999). soon i will get to relieve some strain on my eyes from staring at the computer all day at work! i am also trying out some new contacts that apparently have more oxygen in them?! they feel good i guess.
after that i went to maplewood bike shop to get a new bike! i spent two and a half hours there, but found a winner. an entry level lemond (etape). i also got the clip in pedals and shoes. i will definitely have to practice getting in and out!
after my bike i was back at the south city store to get ben. we ran to target to get a little treat for lilian (brian & margaret's little girl), and then it was off to her birthday party (she turned two on may 1st). at this point it was about 6:30 and she was already out for the night!! we still enjoyed our bbq food and of course the company of those still present at the party.
finally we headed home, put in a movie and then off to bed.
as a result of the very busy day, i took the day off from running. not necessarily by choice, but maybe it was good that i didn't have time to fit it in to give myself a little break.
