Red Hook Run and Homemade Pasta
Julie and I went for a nice easy run out to the Red Hook Ikea and back. Our normal Saturday run is in Prospect Park, so it was nice to change things up a bit. Although I generally try to save my shins by running on asphalt, the sidewalk running on this route didn’t bother me much.
Part of our run was along the Brooklyn Greenway, which is going to be AMAZING when it’s done. Right now it’s pretty short (about half a mile), and apparently they are working weekends to finish. We learned this by running through freshly laid asphalt and narrowly avoiding an upcoming steamroller.
I also had another opportunity to try out my new Garmin 405. So far I love it, although there are a few features that annoy me. That said, being able to chart my runs (and bike rides) on Google Maps rocks:
Later that night we made goat cheese ravioli from scratch (took four hours, but it worked out well), along with homemade garlic bread. We also found a bottle of wine from Stellenbosch, South Africa, one of the areas we toured on our honeymoon. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.
