A look back at last week

So last week my goal was to cook every day. And what did I do that first night? Went to Berryhill. But oh how I love it there. After that I was relatively good though.

Tuesday night after the Local Pour run I made my new favorite chicken salad the cheater way - we bought already cooked and shredded chicken and guacamole bc there were no ripe avocados.

Wednesday night there were some fights on and one of our friends was looking for a home cooked meal so I made the one dish salmon again, this time adding in two pieces of salmon pinwheels that had feta and spinach in them...amazing.

Thursday night I was feeling pretty lazy...so I picked up some read-to-bake pizza from the Fresh Market and a bottle of red...which I drank in it's entirety as we watched Lawless. Oops.


I know I was pretty decent with lunch too, although I can barely remember what I ate. Except for Weds when I had a lunch meeting at Dish Society. So good. I had a chicken pesto sandwich with goat cheese and a side of brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze and bacon. Yum. Definitely need to go back there soon. Don't be surprised if all of my upcoming lunch meetings happen here.

Then it was my last spring Friday. I will totally miss having every other Friday off. It was nice to just hang out and do nothing. Until the water in my apartment complex got shut off so they could fix a water main. That led to lunch out at Salata - love that place with their cheap, healthy salads and wraps. We hung out (I napped for two hours) before heading down the street to surprise, surprise El Tiempo for dinner. It had been a minute since I'd had the chicken quesadillas (not bc we hadn't been in a while, I've just been trying new things), so S and I split those. When we got back to my place after dinner I still didn't have any water! So rude. It was almost 10pm. When I called 311 for info, they told me midnight! But it came back on not long after that.

When did this turn into a food blog? More about running and everything else soon, I swear.

Saturday morning I had to be up and out of the house early to meet Erin and drive out to College Station-ish to attend a memorial service for a woman who used to sit on our Board of Directors. I didn't know her well, but I was happy I went. The service was beautiful.


I finally got to spend some time at the pool on Sunday and then we went to Pistoleros for dinner with E & G. Had never been there before, it was pretty good. $3 margaritas for happy hour...good thing they're not like the El Tiempo margs bc we had quite a few.

So after all that eating relatively healthy last week, I only worked out three times. I ran Monday, Tuesday and Sunday and that was it. Wait, did I run Monday? I think so. So now I have to combine the two. Need to go grocery shopping for this week and set my running/rowing schedule. Slowly but surely. I'll get there. The goal this week is to run at least 15 miles and go to at least two row classes. We'll see how this goes.

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes.  Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event

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

Insurance process

Ok, so who has ever had their place broken into? First I filed the police report. Then after I actually had a handle on what really was missing I amended the police report. I gathered all of the documentation I could find for the things that were missing - it's amazing how often I just throw away the receipts - and sent that along with an itemized list to the insurance company. Now what? How long will this take? The one guy I spoke to said that they have 15 days to process the claim, but that it usually gets done sooner. Will I hear from them in the meantime? I called my new apartment complex yesterday. I am supposed to be moving on August 31 but naturally I want to get out of here as soon as possible. They told me the current tenant moves out on the 19th and that they may be able to get me in that weekend - the 24th or 25th. They were going to check on a few things and let me know. That would be fantastic. I'm not necessarily afraid to be in my current apartment. But I
