Finally Friday

It's been another week. Here's another blog...

Last weekend I went out to run 10 Saturday morning. It did not go well. I literally stopped 2 miles in to text K, who I knew was running 10 on Sunday, to see if I could tag onto her run tomorrow. I ended up running 6 and by the time I got back she had said yes, I could run with her on Sunday. 

So Sunday I got up and met her at Terry Hershey Park. We ran together at a pretty comfortable pace for the first 5 miles and on the way back I tried to pick up the pace every mile. And I did. Negative split every mile on the way back. Best thing about a long run with K is that it means brunch! But I did keep it healthy except for that bottle of champagne we split for mimosas 😋

It was a busy week this week. Work is starting to pick and my to do list is about a mile long. I got a huge chunk of the mobile app completed, but there's still more to do. And my next big looming deadlines are the spectator map, race day program and the media guide - 80+ pages each.

What else, what else. Oh right. I'm running a half marathon on Sunday.  Should be...interesting. My running had been going really well and then I slacked off for a week or two or three. I've done one double-digit run. There are def races I have been less prepared for. But I wanted to run fast this time. I still may. We'll see how it goes.

I got to watch Gordeaux late Saturday morning, he missed his dad...

Until it was nap time.

Terry Hershey Park

My last mile was my fastest mile

Mimosas make everything better.


Easy three, taper time with a half coming up this weekend.


Finally going grocery shopping, still need more. And brussel sprouts on the stalk are weird.

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...
