the bullet list

My running is going fairly good. I surprised myself last week with a 5.4 mile run (because I skipped a day and had to make it up). Aside from sheer boredom by the time it was done, I was actually quite fine; not sore or out of breath. So that felt good. I topped 165 miles last week so I have less than 200 miles to go this year.

When I finish my running challenge, I shall reward myself with a trip to my new favorite place: Ghurtie’s. Y’all must go there. It is so delicious. I know my dad would hate it because it’s priced by the ounce so he certainly couldn’t get away with adding in a little extra, but there are free samples, which is a perk.

This weather is making me want to put on tights and boots and crunch through leaves. I know, big switch from last week’s triple digits, but I love this weather. Fall makes me feel alive.
I was taking a long time reading something on my iPhone the other night and Kevin finally rolled over and said, “What are you doing on that God-blessed phone?” Except he said blessed like the Old Testament with two syllables: bless-ed. It made me fall into fits of laughter and I’m sure I kept him awake for at least 15 more minutes while I was trying to not laugh, which then made me laugh harder. Me and my God bless-ed phone.
