I did not want to get out of bed Saturday morning, but when I finally did it was still cool enough to head out for my supposed-to-be 8 mile run. I think for the time being I'm going to stick to completely flat courses for my long runs. The plan was just to do four out and back, but I didn't really care for my route so I went out just under three, headed back and did a loop around the park. It should have been over 8 and yet somehow was only 7.2. I've had better runs, but I've also had way worse so there's that. My short runs have been going really well, I just need to get it together for my long runs.
I've lived here for idk a year and a half now, but I still haven't really done that much. So when S found out that I had been to Galveston once, by myself, he thought we should go hang out for the day. I picked him up, but thankfully he drove. By the time we got down there it was time for lunch and we ate at a place called The Spot. After we ordered, and we had both ordered margaritas, the server says - oh by the way, the drinks are wine based, is that ok? Umm...what? Wine instead of tequila? No, that is not ok. So weird. After we headed over to a place called Murdoch's, which is a huge touristy souvenir shop over the water on the seawall that also sells drinks and has a bunch of rocking chairs to sit in. It was pretty relaxing to sit there with a drink and watch the waves roll in. But it was chillier than we thought it would be that day, so when my toes turned blue we decided it was time to go. We wandered around a bit more, walked on the beach and decided to call it a day. It was relaxing and peaceful and exactly what I needed.
Saturday night a few people came over to watch the Glory Fights (kickboxing) and drink all the beer in my fridge. I have been trying to get rid of it since it showed up in my house for Opening Ceremony. There's still some left but we put up a good effort.
Now let's talk about why I hate daylight savings time. My Sunday was completely messed up. I woke up, watched the LA Marathon on my iPad and then went back to bed until 1:00pm! Whoops. I finally got up, cleaned up from the night before and promptly took a two hour nap. There was so much sleeping. But I was still able to go right to bed later that night and sleep through my first alarm this morning. This is absolutely why I set two.
Overall it was a great weekend, it's so nice to actually get out and do things again. And this weekend...spring schedule starts! Hooray for the three-day weekend!
