Weekend recap

Why do the weekends always feel so short to me? It was a good one, even if I didn't do very much.

Friday night. I was just going to go home and lay around as we had a long run scheduled for 6:15am Saturday. But. But it hadn't been a great day. So after I got home and sat around for a bit, I decided it was time to go shopping. Now, originally I was going to post pictures of everything I buy and tell you what it all is. And then sense kicked in. The only reason I am going shopping is bc somebody broke into my place. So maybe its not such a good idea to flaunt these things. Suffice it to say, I went to the Galleria and had quite a good time.

Saturday's alarm came way too soon. So I dragged myself out of bed and drove to the park. It amazes me how crowded this place is at 6am. The sun wasn't even up. E and I are still running with the 5 hour group. But this was probably the last time for that. We kept speeding up just to get away from them. I'm not going to say the 8 mile run was easy, but we did ok. Although every time we looked at our watches, it said we were running 10:45ish pace and when we finished it said we averaged 11:30. Wtf. Either way, we need to speed up. So prob going with the 4:30 group next time.

Then came the best part about Saturday morning runs. They are followed by breakfast. Tacos this time. it started to pour just as we were getting ready to leave, so we sat out front and chatted for a while. Thank goodness the sun was coming out by the time I got home. I just wanted to nap by the pool in the afternoon. Stupid me, I didn't put on an ounce of sunblock. That was a mistake. My resulting sunburn was quite uncomfortable for the rest of the weekend.

I slept in Sunday before heading out to do a little more shopping. I needed to replace my stolen sunglasses and I was looking for a lbd to wear for something Deb and I are going to do while she is here. I had been looking after one at Anthro for months. Well, I finally went back and tried it on and it did not look good. So back to the drawing board. If anyone knows where I can get a great little black dress with cap sleeves, please let me know!
Tried out a new burger place while shopping on Sunday. Not too bad.

I got home just in time to see Serena play in the women's final at the U.S. Open. What a match.

If only the weekend had lasted one more day. Oh well. 11 DAYS UNTIL DEB GETS HERE!

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...

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...

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...
