Weekend recap

The weekend has unfortunately come to an end.

Clearly I started this Monday, it's now Tuesday and I'm trying to finish it.

Friday after work I rushed over to hot yoga. Great class, but once it was over I sat down in my apt and didn't end up going to the store to get food for dinner til almost 9! But with a 10k race int he morning, I needed to eat a good dinner.So of course I had salmon, duh. And some pasta and veggies.

But I couldn't sleep much Friday night and the alarm went off way too early on Saturday. There was a hot minute where I thought maybe I should stay in bed, but I didn't. Up and out of the house and downtown for the 10k. My legs felt pretty tired throughout most of the run, which is why I was shocked when my first mile was 7:51 and that my overall pace ended up being 8:29. Of course, my watch said 6.4 miles so my official pace was actually 8:40. Rude. I rushed home after the race, changed my shirt and went right to hot yoga. I did not not feel like waiting around until 2pm for the next class. Plus I really needed that stretch after the run.

After yoga, I headed straight to my pool! to start a new book. It was a beautiful day out. Already hot from hot yoga, I had no idea how burnt I was getting. When will I learn how much closer I am to the sun down here in Texas. Maybe next time. So after a few hours I went inside. Time sure does fly for me when I'm reading a good book. I know, I know, I'm a nerd. So what? All of a sudden it was 7pm and I was getting hungry. So where did we go? El Tiempo. It had been a minute, probably not that long, and their margaritas are amazing. 

I was on the fence about yoga Sunday morning, hot yoga and sunburn are not a great combo, but once S told me he might wanna go, obviously I had to make that happen. He waffled right up until the deadline I gave him and then said he was in. It was hot, it's supposed to be, and when we left he said it was horrible. But I know he likes it, we already talked about going back. He went and ran after, bc he's crazy, and then it was time for my favorite part of any Sunday - brunch. Dish Society brunch and prickly pear mimosas, yumm. Some errands, some more mimosas and that was basically the end of my weekend.

Monday K messaged me and asked if I wanted to go to Local Foods for lunch. Duh. Finally got back into the gym last night and then cooked again. I'm loving my new knives, even though I haven't cooked anything outrageous yet they sure do making cutting things up easier. 

Two more days left in the work week for me! It's my Friday off this week...yay!

Playing with knives.

Healthy dinner on a Friday.

Bayou City Classic 10k

What my watch said for the first mile...

Relaxing by the pool after the 10k and hot yoga

Bc who doesn't take a dog to Sunday brunch?

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...
