Yesterday I didn't run, but I was pleasantly surprised that I managed to get over 7,500 steps. Not bad! Today I had a 10 mile run scheduled. When I woke up, my back was stiff, and I really didn't want to run that far, but I knew I had to, since I had planned it, and I needed to get my long run in for the week. It was cool when I started, so I wore capris and a long-sleeved shirt, and then I was hot! Not to mention the traffic!! I finally stopped pausing the running app, because I kind of wanted to see how much time all the lights and cars and idiot drivers who refuse to give pedestrians the right of way were adding to my run! I swear, I spent at least 10 minutes waiting at stop lights! It's so frustrating to have to stop! Of course, my time was abysmal. At least I ran all but .2 miles of the 10 (I figured I deserved to walk part of the way up the huge hill in mile 8). 
At least 1.5 miles of it was along the coast of the Grand Traverse Bay. I love going on vacation and running new routes. It doesn't seem as long, because everything is new -- but it's not like a race, so you can just enjoy it!
These pics are from the tip of the Peninsula. We ended up eating at Mackinaw Brewery for lunch. Steve had the spinach salad with dried cherries (since Traverse City is known for cherries!) and I had the special (always get the special) of mahi mahi with pineapple salsa. It was spicier than I thought it would be! (Sorry, it was cold in the restaurant -- no pictures. We ate quick and got back outside!) 26,000 steps today and counting. Woo!
