2 days ago I mentioned that I started to run again. And I went again last night. Mallory decided to come over with her dog and join us. She has a 7 month old Blue Heeler that needs some running. We didn't get far but did a little run/walk for about 1.5 miles I guess. It wasn't as easy as it was the night before - I was a little disappointed. And today Im a little sore in the calves and back areas. Another reminder that I am not as young as I think I am. I really hate when I am reminded of this.
I might go again tonight, haven't quite decided. I have to do laundry, start packing for my trip this wknd, finish editing some photos and get the disc's mailed out. So I will try and sneak a 30 minute run in if I can.
And I will be heading to Omaha this weekend to celebrate my birthday with some good friends! And help celebrate my friend Theresa's 40th Birthday !!!!! I turn 42 on Saturday, September 1st & T turns 40 on the 3rd. This is the first time in a long we have been able to celebrate our birthdays together. And the opening HUSKER game is also Saturday! Woo Hoo !!! GOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIG RED! GO BIG RED! I may not have mentioned this in past posts but I am originally from Omaha Nebraska and a huge College Football fan ( ie. Huge Husker Fan ). It is a cult following, it is all we have, it is born into you that you must love the Huskers. And my good friend from High School, Alex is having his annual Labor Day party on Sunday the 2nd. Big Wknd.
THE PLAN --
I still have to be aware of my food intake and watch the alcohol intake as well. Friday I land around 8:30pm will get my rental car and head out to Kelly's house to stay with her and her beautiful 4 year old daughter Tierney. She has already commited to feeding my something healthy once i arrive. And wine. ;) I think I am going to try and hold off on any cocktails until Saturday night though. In the morning we are getting up and I might suggest a little yoga since Kelly teaches it on occasion. Then we are heading out to take some photos of Tierney. Lunch. Then the Husker festivites begin around 1 or 2 with some friends at the bar. This will be difficult to not eat the super yummy super bad bar food and drink a ton of beer. The goal is to stick to vodka and tonics. No bar food. And wait until dinner that night to eat some good food. We have reservations for 7pm at Espana . Should be about 5 or so of us and I am super excited to drink some Sangria and eat some Tapas.
Sunday will be a bit more difficult - Alex's party starts around 4pm and they provide the main food and frozen margaritas! We just have to bring a side dish and any beer or alcohol we want. Im planning on going to this with Traci. I am thinking I should definately eat before I go and bring vodka/tonic or just do water.
And I leave Monday at around 3pm. Getting back to Denver around 4pm MST. And back to no drinking and exercising and eating "normal".
IM SOOOOOOO EXCITED TO SEE MY FRIENDS THIS WEEKEND !!!!!
