To be honest, my weekends are usually a mix of relaxation and catching up on personal errands. On Saturdays, I tend to be quite active. I often go for a long run in the morning and then meet up with friends for coffee or lunch. Sunday is more of a restful day for me. I usually spend it at home reading or preparing for the upcoming week.
