this week has been a rest week for my marathon training...it's been good since I had a house closing this week! Monday I got in my 30 minute ez run, Tuesday I got in my speed workout (run) and wednesday for the first time in a month I swam! I lucked out and got to go to barton springs. I still love that place ( Read more... )

I got home from work yesterday and needed that 30 minutes of nothing. So I sat on the couch and three hours later, I woke up on my couch. I slept the whole evening away. I guess I was tired, but from what? Vacation? *lol*

I guess I just really didn't want to swim last night. That's okay. Today is a 60 minute spin and then run workout. Tomorrow, 75 ( Read more... )

Friday, our group completed a major Milestone on our project. To celebrate, we went to McCormick and Schmick's. Delicious fresh margaritas with Patron and oysters on the half shell. Mmm Mmm Mmmm All on the company's tab. I spent the rest of the evening relaxing at home (I know, many of you are probably shocked I was not out on a Friday night ( Read more... )

I really enjoyed this weekend. It truly feel like I had a full weekend. I took down and put away all the Christmas decorations on Saturday afternoon and I cleaned up the entire apartment. I even brought my plants in so that they won't freeze tonight.

Friday night happy hour was fun. My friends (Laurie, cam_ray, Stacey, Shannon, Dave, Phil, Jennifer, and ( Read more... )

Today I met Susan F. at Barton Springs for a 3 hour trail run. It was a great morning for running b/c the weather was perfect!! We ran an hour and a half out on the greenbelt and then came headed back. We negative split :)

It's time for new trail shoes, but today's run was good for the psyche.

*yay*

Friday night i went with Teresa to the Amli Crits in downtown Austin. I'd never been to a crit downtown before and it was a blast!!! I also got to see a couple people (Nick and Chris) who I hadn't seen in awhile. We also got to check out the the new stores on 2nd street. Some of the clothing and jewelry stores are a little "uppity" but the Jo's ( Read more... )

Friday night my friend Laurie and I went and checked out The Bellmont, a new bar on 6th by Maiko Sushi. We had our reservations b/c it sounds a little "uppity" but it worked out just perfect. After drinks we went to Home Slice for dinner with some friends ( Read more... )

That last one was care of Danny who ran with me. I have just enough competitiveness in me, that when someone is running next to me, I can't let them be faster or get more than a few steps in front of me. :-D
