Last Weekend Wrap Up

I'm writing out of order but these are pictures I had on the iPhone.

WoW! What a weekend. A few of the girls got together with their husbands for a weekend at the beach. This trip has been in the works since a few weeks after the wedding. After deciding on a date, we decided on a location. TYBEE ISLAND it was. I was thrilled. I didn't have to travel far. The weekend started with an amazing dinner at Sundae Cafe. I am terrible at taking pictures but this food was sooooooo pretty that I made everyone show me their food.

Griffin had Blue Cheese encrusted fillet with cheesy potatoes, veggies, and fried onions. He said this was the best steak he ever had.

Davis and Lauren Split the crab cake dinner. Served with Polenta and okra an tomatoes. YUMO!

Meredith and I SPLIT yes this is half of the Salmon Special with nappa cabbage wraps. It was great.

Randy with his traditional cheeseburger

Bruce had a creole style pasta.

I forgot to take a picture of the appetizer, they were sushi nachos. Amazing. After, toasting Champagne to start the weekend, cocktails and, wine we were done and went home to meet the rest of the crew. We spent the night on the deck catching up and having fun. I think there was some dancing at some point.

The next few days were spent on the beach, going out, and having fun. Karaoke and Dancing at Tybee Times were the best! Pictures to follow.

Randy and I spend Sunday as a CHILL COUCH day. Those are the best. Our weekend travels are over for the summer. Now time for Fall Football Season!

Injured or not?

It was a manic Monday for sure. Started the morning out with CREW. We ran 3.5 miles downtown. Route was around Forsyth once, down Park, Left on Price, Left on Oglethorpe, left on Barnard, Left on Gaston, Right on Whitaker. I felt great this run. I found a running partner this morning and it was VERY helpful. I hope he continues to come so we can run together. We picked up the pace the last half mile but our pace was around 11:25.

Dinner was grilled chicken, sauteed spinach, and a Corn salad recipe. It was ok, I would leave out the arugula next time.

Now we are relaxing on the couch while I ice my knee. It was bothering me a lot today, enough to keep me from the gym. It's bothering me for at least 3 weeks. This is the first time I have iced it. I hope this is not a serious injury.

Does anyone have any runner suggestions for knee pain? I just got new shoes.

Weekend wrap up

After my Long Run I came home to cook breakfast for the family. No Pancakes this Sunday. We recently went to New Orleans, as you know, they are famous for Cafe Dumont and their Bingets. I picked up a box of mix when we were there last and decided to make them for the kids. THEY WERE A HIT. While they ate these, I ate some Greek yogurt with Fruit honey and granola.

They tasted better than they looked.

Later I took the girls and a friend to see Ice Age 4 and I treated myself to some popcorn!

My other snack later. Vodka Gummie Bears

Sunday we went to church. This is a picture of Cullie before Church. I thought she looked so cute. She was helping me cook breakfast. She is the best little helper! I love them so much, the house is so quiet when they go home on Sunday afternoons.

That's about it. We needed a good relaxing weekend because the next 3 are action packed!

Progress

This has been a boring week. Not much to talk about. Monday I went to trx. I felt great for the workout until hamstring time. I guess I have strained the muscle somehow because it hurt so bad when I jumped and did the floor exercises. I spent some time stretching it after that. I cooked a terrible dinner for me but Randy loved it! Hamburger steak with mashers and gravy!

Tuesday was a rest day and I had all intentions in getting up early for something but I was still so worn out from the weekend. Tuesday night we went to Price and Joes for dinner and of course forgot pictures. I am going to get better!

Wednesday was a run day! I ran for 40 min and did a pace run. It was 3.47 miles. I was pooped! I was craving some sushi after that... I didn' take a picture of mine because I already ate mine by the time I remembered to take a picture.

Thusday was a 30 min run day.... Strike 2. I got a pedicure instead. We spent the evening at Randy's mom's who is out of town and cooked out with Robert and Heidi. Once again, no pictures.

We have the kids this weekend so looking forwared to some time with them.
