Sunday ... not always a day of rest!

Sleeping in until 7:15 AM is a luxury on Sunday since during the school week I usually wake up at 6 AM.
Today's so-called "day of rest" included going to an endurance training session for a 6-mile walk.
A year ago this was a daunting idea! Ah but today it was a chance to stretch my legs on a beautiful winter day, while chatting away with a new walking buddy.
One and a half hours later - 6 miles accomplished. And there was definitely gas left in my tank.
A good thing since I will be adding a mile to the endurance walk each week!
After this week's endurance walk I remember that 6 miles is a little less than half of the 13.1 miles that make up a half-marathon! I tell this to the new walking buddy who has not walked a half-marathon before. She smiles and I tell her that I was in her shoes (or sneakers as it were) a year ago. 6 miles! Wow! That's almost a 10K race!
How do I reward myself? I go for a vanilla latte and a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich at a favorite spot - The Spiral Cafe! I sip. I eat. I read my book. I look up and I am greeted by another training group member. She has her latte and she is getting her sandwiches to go! We smile conspiratorily! What happens at the Spiral Cafe, stays at the Spiral Cafe. Oops. Unless one of us is a blogger!
