Weekend recap

Friday night was my Opening Ceremony party. And now I remember why it's easier to host on a Saturday or Sunday. There was a lot of running around to get everything ready after work before everyone came over, but K was around to help so that made things easier.

 


Right before I left work on Friday I saw a blog post from a friend in Olympic-land that had an Opening Ceremony drinking game. It was hilarious and we loosely followed that while watching NBC.

Saturday was all Olympics all the time...except for my 30 minute run. Had to get some sort of shake out in. I hadn't run in a week and we were scheduled to do a 10 miler during the Rhythm and Blues Half Marathon Sunday. Oh and brunch in the am with a few ambassadors and some of their friends. We went to Backstreet Cafe and it was really nice. It was good to meet and hang out with some new people. Hopefully we will do it again soon.


Sunday. At least this half started at 8:30 am. Or it was supposed to. We ended up starting 10 minutes late for some reason. I didn't think I would like doing my 10 miler inside a half marathon, but it wasn't so bad. There were tons of people around and lots of water stations. While it was not my best run, it wasn't so bad either. Especially for only running about five times in the past three weeks. Once Austin is over, I plan to really train for DC. We'll see how that goes.

After the run was brunch. Brunch is the best. Especially when there are 99 cent mimosas. Yep, a mimosa for under $1.  And my second eggs benedict of the weekend. No wonder my clothes are starting to not fit right. Once Austin is over, I need to get back on the healthy train and start cooking again. Especially since we then went to Chuy's for dinner last night. Ugh. But so good.

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.
