Earned it

Well, considering that being sick took a large chunk out of my training, I did quite well today. I really picked out the pace in the second half...and spent the rest of the time hoping for a runner's high (still waiting on one of those), wanting to stop, and telling myself to run faster instead. It was a very painful 5k back from the turnaround. I passed a lot of people though!

We then proceeded to enjoy the rest of the day... Step 1 was a couple wineries for wine, port, and some surprisingly good fruit wine. After killing our palates, was continued on to the brewery for lunch and a beer...or two. Then next door to the distillery for large beverages in mason jars - the Bloody Mary comes with it's own salad bar! We also sampled several different types of tequila.

Perhaps I shouldn't have had so much of so many types of beverage...
