After the race Saturday – I was starving – and Mike & my parents hadn’t really eaten – so I was all too quick to say “LET’S GO GET BRUNCH!” 

Since it was such a gorgeous day, my dad picked his favorite local hang out “Around the Corner” – and we got to sit outside on their patio and enjoy more of the day!

I was too excited for food to come, so I didn’t really take any other pictures – just my delicious meal:2 veggie patties (cheese on both) – topped with fresh onion, tomato, and lettuce.  The chips on the side were from when I started to feel sick to my stomach because I’d just burned over 1,000 calories, and had done nothing to replenish any of them! (translation – our food took a DAMN long time to come – I’d say over an hour – with only roughly 20 people eating at this place to begin with).   The burger was great though, the company fantastic – and my Dad paid the bill!!  Perfect ending to a great morning! 

Once we finally got home, Mike and I walked Lando, and then I showered and got cleaned up.  Mike really wanted to go watch some of the NBA playoff games so we headed to ANOTHER patio to have a few beverages! I started off with a Sugar Free Red Bull (and perhaps a shot of vodka – who can say really?) – look at the can tab!It’s a little bull!  I just thought that was so neat!  The easy stuff is what keeps me amused! 

We got bored with that patio though (it was way $$$) – so we hit up our favorite local watering hole for some Strongbow drafts.  (insert angels singing here)Our addiction to Strongbow totally paid off.  LISTEN TO THIS STORY!

The bar that has the cheap Strongbow drafts we LOVE,  doesn’t have a porch – so it was dead when we walked in at 4pm on a beautiful saturday.  The guy bartending was the guy we usually see when we head up there – so Mike and I served as his only entertainment.    After politely chatting with him for a few minutes, he goes into the “secret” drawer behind the counter, and gets out a $20 gift certificate and hands it to us!

Mike and I were both like “What the what?!”   – and asked him what it was for….

He said because we are such nice people, and we are 2 of his 5 favorite regulars – I GUESS IT PAYS TO BE A NICE PERSON WITH A VERY SERIOUS STRONGBOW ADDICTION!

Saturday night it was early to bed since it was such a long day – and Sunday was pretty much a blur as well.  I rode 20 miles on my bike (Kristin did too!), along side Danielle who had her last long run before her marathon (same day as my half marathon!!)

I got seriously sunburned and just laid around in misery most of the day. 

Sunday dinner was about all I could photograph – it was GC inspired dinner, after I watched her second video post!  A few MS buffalo wings, a few chicken wontons, broccoli, peppers & hummus – follow up by a cool dessert (because my body was on FIRE):I love these Smart Ones – 170 calories – and two in a package – one for me, one for Mike! 

Still sunburned this morning - looking like Ms. Lobster – sweating and shivering at the same time – thumbs up Allison!

Hope you all had a great weekend!!!
