Weekend recap

It was one of my Friday's off this past weekend, so my weekend started Thursday after work. I caught up with G Money at lunch on Thursday and had an amazing blue cheeseburger with pork belly at HEB's Table 57 restaurant. I went in telling myself this couldn't be a long lunch...and then we talked work and track for two hours. Whoops. Thursday night we made the portobellos stuffed with italian sausage...love those. And the house smells like pizza when we make them haha.

Friday was nice and relaxing. After going to yoga and giving Lola a bath I spent a few hours at the pool and then went for a short run. Initially I wanted to run four miles, but at the last minute I got a 5K entry for Saturday morning's Heights 5K so I just took it easy. Made another batch of the spinach and basil pesto, this time over spinach tortellini. So easy and so good.

The alarm came early Saturday morning and I was out the door for the run. I had no idea what to expect I would run pace-wise. I've been running again, but not consistently and with summer heating up my pace has been all over the place. It ended up being not that bad and in the last half mile I passed up S who was pacing in somebody for work. It was amazing haha and the only time I will ever beat him in a race. It was an early race so I was able to make it to 10am hot yoga and then again hung out by the pool for a while. I heart summer. I talked K into dinner at El Tiempo, where apparently if you order a la carte, everything gets its own plate. I was the fat girl at the table with two plates a drink and all the chips and queso. Then I met some friends at Revelry where we played the biggest game of Jenga ever. And I wasn't the one who toppled it! #Score

Skipped all the workouts on Sunday due to too many margaritas and Moscow mules and ended up at the pool for four hours. So much sunburn. Whoops. But I met some of my neighbors and finally it wasn't old people or kids, so I hung out with them until I had to go inside to do a bit of work. More Mexican food for dinner and more margaritas made for a good end to the weekend.

Can't wait for the end of this week now when AA shows up...I haven't seen her since I left CT.
Good drinks. Good friends. Good times.

Pork belly is my new favorite...Blue cheeseburger with pork belly at Table 57

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.
