Good Morning All 🙂
How was everyone’s Saturday Friday (thanks BUD!)? I’m getting a late start this morning after a later-than-normal evening.
Date Night
Zach and I wanted a nice date night last night — so we made reservations at a sushi place near us Sushi Sasa. The only available reservations they had were 6 PM and 8 PM — so we thought we’d act our age for the night and take the 8 PM.
For this lady, that means snacks after work.
Thankfully, the Cardinal game was on to keep me distracted until dinner, and I ran by Whole Foods during my lunch to get us reinforcements through to our 8 PM reservation.
A meat, cheese and cracker tray.
My favorite piece of the tray we put together was the date and walnut slice. If you see this at your local Whole Foods or bakery, give it a shot. DELISH. And salami that I bought for Zach.
This, a glass of red wine, and the Cardinals got us through until 8 PM no problem.
Sushi Sasa
By the time we got to dinner, we weren’t nearly as hungry as we normally are — but still got to enjoy some good, fresh fish 🙂
I started out with a cocktail, which I don’t normally do, but it had jalepenos and I’m a sucker for the little hot guys. It was delicious
And for dinner, we ended up splitting three rolls between the two of us.
I apologize for the poor lighting, you know sushi places are dark 🙂
I also apologize for the lack of details on date night, but I went to date night more focused on spending time with Zach and called it a “no blog night”…even though I still took pictures of course. I love food. So, unfortunately I don’t remember the names of any of the rolls or my drinks, but it was delicious and I’m really thankful that Zach and I are able to get out to date nights like this every once in awhile.
And now — it’s just before 930 and I’m waiting for it to warm up for before heading out for my run this AM. Zach may even join me for a few miles — I’m excited! I’ll be back later to give you full deets about the run 🙂
Quesiton of the Morning: Do you prefer to run alone or with others?
Normally I prefer to run alone, but if Zach is willing to come with me today I’m not going to pass that up! 🙂

It’s always easier running with others. BTW, I didn’t realize there was such a time difference from where you are to where I am – You already had a Saturday night?!?! Also, does your husband know about your affinity for “the hot little guys”? 😉
LOL — we’re far away from Texas here in Colorado. REAL far.
And the husband is VERY aware of my love for the hot guys. He isn’t as huge of a fan. . . but what can I say I have better taste 😉
Haha, and no, it’s not that far. I’ve driven to Denver before. Not too bad.
Nahh it’s not that far. And totally worth visiting, if I do say so myself.
I usually like to run on my own, only because I don’t like holding people back. I do enjoy running with others sometimes.
My husband and I ran together once…it didn’t last very long. He’s 6’2 and i’m 5’5 so I was holding long legs back with my short stride 🙂
No that’s how I’ve always felt as well — I feel like I hold others back and stress myself out…but I’m getting better about it as I get more confident in my own running.
Haha Kyle and I are the same way- 8 PM dinner is closing in on bedtime 😉
And twin thing strikes again! I like to run alone unless Kyle says he will go with me!
Seriously we are twins. Twins.
Does Kyle run with you often? Zach and I don’t run together very often — but I’ve grown to really appreciate it when we do 🙂
Nope, he doesn’t actually like to run. His thing is cycling which I would love to get in to but I still have a massive fear of being hit by a car. So I also definitely appreciate it when he runs with me 🙂 I usually bribe him with food 😉
I’m a lone wolf runner. Every once in a while my husband will tag along, but mostly I enjoy having that as my “me” time 🙂
I’m with ya!
