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?

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...
