Double digits

I'll get to my weekend recap tomorrow, but first my long run recap.

Saturday's run was scheduled to be 10 miles. Our first double digit run in this marathon training program. And, once again, we were running with the 4:30 pace group.

After all the rain on Friday night, it was pretty nice out Saturday morning. I was afraid/hopeful that it would still be monsooning and I would have an excuse to stay in bed, but the rain cleared up and the weather was relatively cool. For Houston.

And. I finally got myself a hand-held water bottle. I bought the 10.5 ounce version of the amphipod. It was definitely weird to run with and I'll have to get used to it but it wasn't horrible. My elbow was pretty stiff when I was done though.

The run itself was. I don't know. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad. It just was. I ran probably about half of it alone just for a change of pace. I think if I'm going to run alone more though, then I need to replace my ipod.

The new adidas sports bra worked out well. Very minor chafing on my shoulder and I think that was from my shirt, not the sports bra. I'm going to have to buy a few more.

The best part about Saturday's run, as always, was the brunch afterwards. I went home and showered and then I took the twin to Max's Wine Dive. Love that place.

But now I haven't run since Saturday and it's track Tuesday. Must keep up better with my schedule. Totally working on it.

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...
