I love weekends. Specifically Saturday.
I always squeeze in a GREAT workout after my Friday rest day…then I get to relax and slow down to enjoy my afternoons.
And then when I get nights like tonight that I get to go out for a few hours and enjoy friends, that’s just perfect 🙂
My friend Amanda from grad school (who ALSO just ran her first half marathon, AND is getting married next month), got me out of the house for a few hours :).
We went to Caveau Wine Bar here in Denver, and enjoyed a couple glasses of happy hour Riesling as well as a split appetizer and entree. Hello goat cheese and artichoke bruchetta and pizza. YUM.
I wanted to enjoy the evening out with my friend, so I didn’t take any pictures while I was there…plus the lightly was poor. But I definitely enjoyed my first experience at Caveau. Sometimes a girls night out is exactly what you need. Who am I kidding, it’s always what you need :).
Funny story though: I took my wallet out of my purse this morning when I went grocery shopping after work. I needed lunch, so I ran by Vitamin Cottage after my work out to get a sandwich.
The sandwich was delish..and totally worth the 599 cost. I’d definitely do it again.
I wore my ski coat when I took Gus out for a walk this morning, because it was still cold and I wanted to chalk up some miles for my Pile on the Miles challenge this month.
Well…I wore a dressier coat to the bar tonight, and was running late when I walked out of the door for dinner tonight…
When the check came with dinner, and I reached into my purse. . . my wallet was missing.
Thankfully, Amanda is a great sport and laughed it off…and she drove me home (I walked the 2 miles there again to keep adding up the miles), and I got her money when she dropped me off. Upps!
Thankfully I didn’t get ID’d!
November Challenges
I completed 11.13 miles between walks and my run this morning today (woot woot!) so I’m up to 12.13 miles total for the Pile on the Miles.
And I also completed Piper’s 30 Thigh Challenge. On the books today:
- 8 lateral lunges
- 15 scissors
- 8 fire hydrants
- 8 pile squat pulses
Done and done. Loving these challenges so far. Keeping me accountable.
And on top of that, I got bored this afternoon and tried another travel WOD.
- 20 rounds of :
- 5 squats
- 5 push ups
- 5 sit ups
Good lord I was a busy girl today. Something tells me I may be sore tomorrow. Woooof!
Happy Saturday All 🙂
I absolutely agree the girls nights are always necessary. Saturday morning workouts are my favorite too!
Yeah I like Saturday morning work outs — I’m not so much feeling Sunday morning work out today, ha.
I’m doing the Pile on the Miles too!
Haha oh no! I totally would have gotten ID’d with my luck. I took my friend out to her birthday brunch earlier this year (she was turning 24 and I was 23) and we got carded. We had run to the restaurant and forgot our ID’s…so no birthday mimosas for us…
LOL Im glad Im not alone twin…it certainly wasnt the first time its happened
I feel like we get carded more because we’re short. If I go out with my short friend (she’s 5’1″ like me) we get carded. If I go out with Kyle (almost 6’3″) I don’t get carded haha. It’s sizeism I’m telling you!
My friend last night is like 5’8…youre probably right! lol
That travel wod sounds very CrossFit-ty!!! 🙂
They definitely are! Im loving it…
Yummy!
… and I think I need a 30-day butt challenge 😉
LOL I would do that!
