What to do on Saturday...

I am done with my marathon now, and find I have time in my life again. I have been looking forward to this for six months because of all the things I could do without having to go for those long runs every week.  I even compiled a list of things that I could be doing with my time if I wasn't running around town for two to three hours every Saturday.  This was the start of my list:

I could sleep in.  A long time.
I could make, eat, and clean up breakfast and be halfway to lunch.
I could do my grocery shopping.
I could read a good book.
I could watch a whole movie, complete with bonus features. 
I could clean my whole house, top to bottom. 

But I couldn't think of more than two or three things that actually sounds like a better idea than the run. And now that I actually have the time to do these things, all I want to do is go out for a run. I think I must be missing something.  What exactly is it that normal people do on Saturday morning?  I am open to suggestions.  Maybe there really is something better out there that I am missing. It is interesting to think of the possibilities in case I ever retire. But for now, I guess there isn't much I could do that is better than my Saturday morning run.  See you out there.
