Random Stuff on a Sunday Evening
My fantasy football team is kicking ass--I will get close to the highest score this week. I'm tied for a game behind the top spot of my division, so if I can keep up my winning streak, I should make the playoffs. Also My Beloved Green Bay Packers are undefeated.
I ran four and a quarter miles today and felt really good. I did four miles yesterday. This makes me very happy, because last week I did three and a half, then three and a half the next day, then four. Toward the end of the third day my left leg was sore and weak feeling, which is how I woke up the following day. Didn't run that day, but I did walk six miles (two and a half slow, three and half moderate pace). So I'm glad that my leg felt good during and after the run today. Not sure about tomorrow. I don't necessarily see any reason to take the day off running, but I think I'll either stick with the same distance or dial down to four. The literal last thing I want to have happen is to push too hard and end up injured. Gradual is key. Tuesday I will definitely take off and do Pilates and extra stretching.
I keep forgetting about laundry dammit. Good thing I'm on the last load.
Tomorrow is the last day of Stuart's mushy food restricted diet. Tuesday I think I'll make enchiladas or something he'll really enjoy. It just can't be crunchy. It has to be good though--he's going to court for a speeding ticket I got a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately (for me) they aren't letting people amend speeding in a school zone (I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS A SCHOOL ZONE URGHHHH I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE STUPID BLINKING LIGHT) to defective equipment anymore, so I'm probably looking at a fine and traffic school. But he's a good person for trying. And I'm a shitty person for falling into what is apparently a famous speed trap.
Anyway, back to food. Tonight we had yummy dinner. There is a grocery nearby that is not Kroger and they sell really delicious crab cakes for a buck apiece. $6 and a few $ on a minty cous-cous/wild rice salad--fabulous dinner for three for under $10. I made chipotle pepper-sour cream-mayo goo for the crab cakes. So good.
While running the past three times, I've watched A Game of Thrones. My reaction is pretty much like I figured it would be--I don't like most of the casting choices, don't like most of the characterizations, the sets are okay. It's a decent adaptation, but the books are a million times better. I'm so glad I read them twice before watching the series.
That's all for now folks. Walking Dead is on soon and I've gotta throw some clothes in the dryer.
