Double digits

I'll get to my weekend recap tomorrow, but first my long run recap.

Saturday's run was scheduled to be 10 miles. Our first double digit run in this marathon training program. And, once again, we were running with the 4:30 pace group.

After all the rain on Friday night, it was pretty nice out Saturday morning. I was afraid/hopeful that it would still be monsooning and I would have an excuse to stay in bed, but the rain cleared up and the weather was relatively cool. For Houston.

And. I finally got myself a hand-held water bottle. I bought the 10.5 ounce version of the amphipod. It was definitely weird to run with and I'll have to get used to it but it wasn't horrible. My elbow was pretty stiff when I was done though.

The run itself was. I don't know. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad. It just was. I ran probably about half of it alone just for a change of pace. I think if I'm going to run alone more though, then I need to replace my ipod.

The new adidas sports bra worked out well. Very minor chafing on my shoulder and I think that was from my shirt, not the sports bra. I'm going to have to buy a few more.

The best part about Saturday's run, as always, was the brunch afterwards. I went home and showered and then I took the twin to Max's Wine Dive. Love that place.

But now I haven't run since Saturday and it's track Tuesday. Must keep up better with my schedule. Totally working on it.

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...

Weekend recap

I actually went out! Friday afternoon G text me did I want to go to dinner. Obviously the answer was yes. I have a great time with him and we can talk track for hours. I'm always early when I go to dinner with G bc I don't want to go home first, but we don't usually meet until 6:30pm. So I was early again Friday and sat in my car, with the heat on, reading. When he got there, I got out and we started to walk in only to see a sign that said closed for private party! You have got to be kidding me. I feel like their facebook should have mentioned that. So we walked across the street to some bbq place. BBQ in Texas is different. And, I think, not in a good way. I've been a few times and I don't think I need to go again. But it was a small place and we were taking up a needed table, so a while after we were done we headed down the road to Starbucks. And were there until they closed. Saturday morning I had an appointment at a local salon for a facial (sorry mom). For ...

Here's what: March 21

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... The Girls Night In that Deb and I are planning for when I'm home. We're slightly obsessed and have a whole private pinterest board to prove it. Now if only our family would actually respond to invite we sent out... I know I've included this race in the past, but now that it is this weekend I am starting to freak out. My "training" since running Austin has been close to nonexistent, much like K's, and E ended up with a minor stress fracture (!) but is going to run it anyway. Hopefully A will keep as all going. And the twins. Our birthday is in 13 days and I will be home for it! There are  plans to be made.
