365 - Average Saturday

Yup, today is Valentine's Day, but it is just an average Saturday to me. We don't really celebrate because I'm not a fan - I guess you could say I'm protesting it. My issue is that people should do nice things for their loved ones throughout the year, not just because Hallmark says so. Now, next year may be a different story because my son will be old enough to play along in the fun. I will probably give in and use it as an excuse to do fun little heart-themed projects with him.

 

So, this morning, after finally reuniting with my trusty heart rate monitor, I set off with my chubby dog to run a few miles. My training for the Cherry Blossom 10-miler in April is going smoothly and I was happy to see I burned a healthy 614 calories in 50 minutes. Not too shabby.
