I went out to eat....or tried to. We got there at 7:45, ordered a bit thereafer, and waited an hour for our food that never showed up. The only thing that came out was a salad and the cheese tray. Other tables had ordered and finished while we were still waiting. I talked to the manager, who did not even offer an apology. At least he comped the little that we'd had. I'm about to go cook some eggs and toast. I'm still starving. We will NEVER go back.
...and I'm trying to figure out where to ride tomorrow. The high is supposed to be 45, and it will be windy. I hate wind. Most of the local mountain bike trails are closed b/c of the freeze/thaw cycle. I hate winter.
Just left a fancy Italian restaurant in Georgetown. I do believe its the first time in my life that I dined at an Italian restaurant without ordering pasta or carbs. I had a lovely steak w/ veggies to be Whole 30 compliant (and a few bites of DH's red snapper). And no wine. Italian restaurant without carbs and pasta usually does not compute. But I am satisfied.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure there was a Redskins player or some other professional athlete sitting directly behind us. I'm googling to try to figure out who he was. It's driving me crazy.
We had a pretty low-key day: library, 8-mile treadmill run, "Saving Mr Banks" with a girlfriend, and then watched 2 episodes of "Call the Midwife." I'm trying to decide what to eat for a midnight snack now

My wife was working on a project while I watched a hockey game with the boy. She came in and watched the last period or so, now they're both sleeping (she has to work OT tomorrow) and I'm putzing around online while I install software to calibrate my camera lenses.

I went for a run this morning and felt so great even tho it was pouring ran and snowing at the end. Then got my haircut and had a bunch of friends over for pizza, beers and hang out for my birthday. Now I'm getting ready to go to bed.

I'm trying to psych myself up to go out for a run. I just got back from 2 weeks in FL, where it was in the 60s and 70s almost every day. It's 22 degrees here right now, and it's going to get even colder later in the week. Hold me. I hate winter.
I'm waiting for coffee to brew, and trying to map out a running route. Hit a couple of wineries yesterday and after wine tasting and a Friday night out before that I'm trying to get motivated to get off my butt. Hopefully coffee will help.

I just woke up at 9 AM OMG THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Rest day wins! We were out late last night - my H's team is hosting a big tourney (they are 4-0 going into today, woop!), and so we were there until almost 10 pm - soooo late for DD. She slept until 9 and I didn't set an alarm. Glorious, beautiful rest. Today will be back to the courts to cheer on the team, and watching the Broncos.
Eating some lunch before I get my plants for the week (I buy meat and produce at two different stores). My H is back at work today so I'll probably clean the apartment and prep food for the week.
We tried to go out to eat last night too but the roads were too bad with snow. So we went to the BBQ place that's about 1/4 mile from where we live and ate ribs. Yummy!

I'm getting ready to go to Target. (C9 apparel is 40% off today with the Cartwheel app!) I'm sick, and it's crazy cold and windy outside, so I'm skipping my run today.
Making cookies and debating whether to work out. Somehow half the bag of chocolate chips disappeared so I should do something but motivation is seriously lacking today

I'm watching football and planning the menu for Appetizer Dinner tonight. Yum!
And packing because we leave for San Diego Wednesday morning!
I had a great 11 mile run this morning, and now I'm beat. But I'm also 3,000 fitbit steps away from my all time record high , so I feel like I want to break my record.

I went shopping for more running kit. My peak weeks are while I'm home in Australia (it's summer there), so I bought my first ever pair of running shorts.
I'm now in Wales in a hotel, will be on a client site all day tomorrow. Boo.

Packing up. We're going visit some friends and family in NJ/NY for the week. Depending on how the flights look, we'll leave either tonight or tomorrow morning.
They keep warning us that it's brutally cold and to pack lots of warm clothes. I think I've forgotten what true cold is. I hope I have enough!

Sat I did my first ever trail/cross country race. It was a super small (about 24 people) bare bones local training run but I finally met some runners in my area and had a fun 3.25+ (we went a little off course in the woods when the trail died out lol). And 1st place in my AG...you know...out of all 2 of us lol. The club puts on a series for the winter at different parks in the area so I'm looking forward to the next one. I can even bring my dog so I might bring her next time.
