Day Sixty-One: Sore-ness and Indulgence

Today was lovely again, and my friend Lisa came with me on my lunchtime walk. That's seriously one of my favorite parts of the day--getting outside for a little bit in the middle of the work day. I was planning to go to a Barbell Strength class this morning, but my quads were so very sore from Tuesday that I could hardly walk when I got up. I really don't want to injure myself, so I opted out. I hate missing class, especially when I actually make it out of bed for it at 5am, but I would hate losing a whole week to injury even more, so...

As for food today, well...that's a mixed bag. We went to the Durham Performing Arts Center tonight to see Neil deGrasse Tyson speak--a lovely date night in the middle of the week. Before the lecture, we met some friends for dinner at Bull City Burger & Brewery, and I had the tremendous indulgence of a pimiento cheese and bacon burger and duck fat fries.  That's certainly not something I plan to make a habit of eating, but it's hard to regret an occasional splurge like that for a special occasion. And I definitely count seeing NdGT as a special occasion!
