Bye bye bye

The twin's visit has come to an end. Right about now she should be on her way to the airport for her flight home.

We didn't get to spend too much time together, but the time the we did was good. Monday I went over to her hotel after work and we met some of her coworkers down at the hotel bar for a drink. And then Tuesday I went over to see the showroom floor of their convention before they had a private concert in the GRB with Little Big Town.

I have zero pictures from our time together which is unfortunate and in all of the pics she took Friday night my eyes are just about closed. Apparently I look high most of the time now when we go out at night. I blame my contacts.

Now that she's gone and I don't really have anything going on...I really need to start cooking again. I haven't cooked a real meal in quite some time. This - Risotto with Fresh Mozzarella, Grape Tomatoes, and Basil - is what I want to make. It's one of my favorite dishes and I don't think I've had it since I lived in CT.

I also need to go shopping. I think in the past six or eight weeks, I've gone out more in that short time than I have in the rest of the time that I've lived here. And I just don't have enough clothes for that. Don't get me wrong, my closet is ridiculously full of work clothes and running clothes, some casual things and a few dressy things, but nothing that I really want to wear out on a Friday night.Maybe I will go at lunch.


My workout today is supposed to be a mile warm-up, 3x1200m with 400m recovery, mile cool down. I really hope it's not raining bc that would be miserable. My goal is 9/min pace so the 1200's should be around 6:45. Normally I can do track work at 8/min pace so that should be ok for my first workout back.

Is it 4:00pm yet?

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 ...

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...

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.
