Suckered

A.M. workouts – People…I am here to say they can be done and really are not all that bad. How did this happen? Once I finally dragged my sorry butt out of bed in the early A.M. hours it became easier. Who knew….

Post Half Marathon High – I have spoke to my son a few times this past week. Emailed him our paces per mile. So clear where the wind effected us most. He still is saying that he will never run another…. maybe it has something to do with the 3 bloody toes that soaked through his sock…ouch!

Some down-time – This week Scott and I have had the house to ourselves. Last night we actually went on a date downtown and was able to sit outside by the river and have a very nice dinner. It was absolutely perfect!! So nice to just relax and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Weekend Riding – Friday Scott and I will kick off the weekend with an early ride before tackling some Spring cleaning. Saturday we are joining up with a large group of cyclist to do hill repeats on a very well know Bakery Ride. High should be near 80 degrees all weekend!!

Suckered at Lunch – I work with all men. No female drama here. Normally I always bring and eat my lunch here at work. Yesterday I had two gentleman ask if I would join them for a lunch time treat. What I thought would be a nice restaurant lunch turned out to be a politician speaking while we ate wings – fried wings. The only green healthy food was celery. It was gross. They loved it and did not know why I was complaining. LOL!!!

Happy Eater to all!

Your date night sounds fantastic! I could use a nice dinner on a patio... I'll pass on the fried wings. ;)

Morning? Is that the big gray sploch on my clock just to the left of Noon? I'm going to have to Google "morning". I think it's just one of those urban myths!

Uuugh, wings. Nutritionists around the world are spinning in their cookbooks.

"We" time is so important to a good relationship. Setting aside one night a week for each other, and then defending it against every intrusion, is relationship magic.

A kinder, gentler Corps these days? ;)
