They caught the second suspect in the Boston bombing last night around 9pm. Apparently he was hiding out in a boat in someone’s yard, and the homeowner noticed him when he went out for a smoke. After over an hour of negotiations, they got him to come out of the boat and arrested him. I am glad he’s alive because I know the whole running community (hell, the whole country) wants to know why he would do such a horrible thing.
I was glued to the police scanner and Reddit up until they caught him, so needless to say nothing really productive got done. Instead I ended up falling into bed plenty tired around 9:30. Haters gonna hate.
Of course this means I woke up at 5 as Pat (my boyfriend) was climbing into bed. We briefly discussed some things (because I am sooooo cohesive at the crack of dawn), and I willed myself to fall asleep again until 8.
Put food down for the cats (which they didn’t eat…silly kitties), made a quick breakfast of 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, and an avocado, and headed out to the local rail trail for a bike ride. This was only my second ride with my new-to-me bike (2011 Trek Lexa S), and I friggin love this thing. Did an easy 20-mile out and back…I listened to this past week’s “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me” on the way out, and “This American Life” on the way back. TAL had a fascinating but sad story about a doctor who took a job at a clinic to find that the previous doctor (who coincidentally had the same last name) had brutally murdered his father. Over time he found from patients that this was uncharacteristic behavior, so he started an investigation that led to a diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease.
Came home in time to see Pat off to work. It’s the annual festival at his university this weekend, so he’s got to put in some extra hours. Had me another protein shake and sat on Pinterest for awhile. I had planned to also mow the lawn today, but apparently my legs aren’t as strong as I hoped (1 month hiatus will do that to ya!), so instead I took a nap. The grass will still be long tomorrow.
After my nap (which was great), I made myself one of my favorite “Saturday by myself” meals…steak (NY Strip this time) and steamed broccoli. Have I mentioned keto is the best diet ever? I took a break from weighing myself in April, so I am very excited to see what the scale says May 1st.
Now that the steak’s gone, I will probably do that homework I said I was going to do yesterday. Tomorrow night I am going to see Macklemore in concert, so there won’t be much time for homework then!
