Weekend recap

Oh four day weekend. How I will miss you. There was a lot of laziness around. And some work, because it's not sports if you don't have to work on your days off.

I had big plans for Thursday, but I ended up working off and on until 2pm. So I went out to the pool for a bit when I was finally done. After 20 minutes, it started to rain. I was able to go back out for about an hour and then I went to the gym! I get excited when I actually follow through on going.

K text me Friday morning to drag me out for a run at the Park. I needed it. But boy was it hot and humid. We got there at 9:30am and it was in the low 80s with some pretty high humidity. The breakfast tacos definitely made up for it. Food makes everything better. Then we went and picked up our race packets for Saturday's 5k. I tried really hard to contain myself, packet pickup was in a running retail store, and only bought one sports bra. Did I do anything else on Friday? Nothing really, but I did pick up some nice flowers.


Saturday was an early day. I am not a morning person. I got to K's at 6:30am and we headed over to the 5k with A. Boy was it sticky outside. The 5k was nothing to remember. I stayed with K the whole way and A was a little behind us with a friend of hers. And after...more breakfast tacos. After a two hour nap, I went to the gym! I made myself get up and go so that I could have Mexican for dinner! Why is everything about food?

The goal was to go to the gym Sunday morning too. And while I woke up every one or two hours throughout the night, I slept right through class. Thought I had set my alarm, but it was off. Busted. So I stayed in bed even longer after that. When I finally got up it was raining. So in the early afternoon I decided to go to the movies and see The Great Gatsby. It wasn't my favorite Baz Luhrmann film, but it was ok. Home to more reading. I read a lot this weekend, probably around 1200 pages. Finsihed reading Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series. Again. All in all, it was a good, if unproductive, weekend. I'm ready for the next one.

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f...

Foodie recap

I love to cook. And I love to cook for other people. I may not stray too far on my menu, ok people have said I cook way too much salmon, but at least I mix up the recipes some times? All right, so I probably eat salmon 3-5 nights a week and when I'm not eating salmon I'm eating Mexican. This is Texas. But I should branch out every once in a while. I need some new dishes. Who has suggestions? Everyone once in a while, we make filets...but that can get expensive so it's usually only on special occasions - like holidays...or if it goes on sale. I've made scallops before, so good, but also expensive. I also want to stay relatively healthy. It's ok to go off the reservation and eat what I want once in a while, but I should not be doing it as much as I have been lately. Sooo...here's what I've been eating lately... Chicken fajitas I feel like there must be a veggie missing from this plate... Chicken fajitas take two Happy Mother...

Rock n Roll Dallas recap

We arrived in late Dallas Friday afternoon. When we had left Houston, it was a balmy 87 and four hours later when we stepped out of the car in Dallas is was 53! Talk about a temperature drop. Saturday we went over to expo to get registered and pick up our bibs. The expo was pretty cool, lots to look at, but it took a hot minute to figure out how to get out of there which maybe was the point. By the time we went to dinner on Saturday everybody was a little concerned about the weather for Sunday's race.  They were saying it was supposed to be about 41 at the start with winds at 25-30 miles per hour and gusting to 45mph! E and A wanted to wear long sleeves while K was still talking about running in a singlet. I was on the fence. I didn't have any throw away clothes with me so if I wore a long sleeve top I would have to keep it on the whole time. In the end I stuck with my normal short sleeves and gloves. Sleep Saturday night was fitful and by the time the alarm went off I w...
