There is something in the woods that makes me crazy....

Day 4 & 5:

Yesterday was another great day. I got up at 5:30AM with Sheila and Tom and had a great swim workout at the pool. Following the pool I had breakfast and a nap before gearing up for a run in the sun. I headed out at "high noon" for a long run through the country. The scenery was beautiful, the sun hot and after 100 minutes of running I finally made it back to the house. It was such a great workout! I showered, grabbed some lunch and rested on the couch while reading the Lance Armstrong book.
Tom, Sheila and I went to dinner at one of their friend's homes and had a superb meal, only to be surpassed by the plum tort dessert!

Wow! What a day.

Before we went to dinner, Tom and Sheila played a little "friendly" badminton on the lawn. Sheila is so competitive, but very talented!



On our way to dinner, Tom demonstrated just how tired he was feeling. I think he needed it, but Sheila and I just laughed (quietly) at him.


After dinner we snuck out to get some ice cream. Yummy stuff for my tummy!


Today was another great day. I slept in (finally) and met Tom for a swim workout at noon. We swam an hour in the pool before I came back and took (another) nap. Tom left work early and we went for an easy recovery ride for 90 minutes around the local farms.
Following the ride we picked up some beer, pizza and Tom's friend Andrew before coming back for a "Toilet Seat Up" night while watching the Tour de France.

Locals at the supermarket. These dogs were soooo sweet and friendly...

Hey! I am on vacation, so back off!


See you next post! (Hopefully without a hangover!)
