Good Morning and Happy ALMOST weekend everyone :).
Before I get to business — I want to start with the fun.
Date Night
I started off my evening last night with a good stretch session.
I busted out my new Core Power yoga mat last night for a quick full body yoga session.
Let’s just leave it at my body thanked me. And as far as the mat goes, it actually worked really well. It is a thin, sticky mat, but it worked PERFECTLY for my yoga session last night. I have a thick LuluLemon mat, and it doesn’t work well when I’m not sweating. I had no slipping or moving problems with this mat last night. 2 thumbs up!
We have been on a roll lately of making Wednesday night our date night (thank you last start Thursdays), and that continued last night. We picked up sushi from Sushi Sasa and headed to our favorite spot, Denver Brew Co.
We had a little snafu with the sushi though. . . we waited 30 minutes before we headed there to make sure it was ready, then were told that they couldn’t make one of our sushi rolls. They offered to make another, but it would take the time to prepare. We choose another and waited, but were a little surprised when they were a little rude overall and charged us after waiting for the NEW roll. Are we totally off? Would anyone have expected to wait the extra time and pay for the roll? Be honest 🙂
Unfortunately, dinner wasn’t pretty as it was all in plastic containers and kind of smashed around . . . but here’s an old picture of very similar rolls…
Either way the sushi was delicious 🙂
We spent our evening playing Yatzee and planning out our honeymoon just a short 9 days away!!! GETTING EXCITED!
The evening ended with some of my newest obsession to perfectly end the evening.
At least I portioned it out and didn’t eat them straight from the bag . . . progress right?
This Morning
The pretzels and sushi must have been great running fuel because I had a GREAT run this morning.
Workout of the Day: 5.61 speed miles
I don’t remember who’s blog I saw a very similar workout on (if it’s you, please let me know in the comments and I’ll name you!), but this speed workout this morning smoked my legs and lungs in the best possible way.
- 10 minute warm up easy run pace
- 1 minute 4.0
- 1 minute 8.0
- 1 minute 9.0
- repeat 10 minutes
- 10 minute cool down easy run pace
WOOOOF those were some speedy intervals. . . but the 4.0 intervals gave my legs JUST enough time to reboot and get ready for the next set of sprints.
I HIGHLY recommend this run for anyone wanting to work on speed (I did my easy run yesterday, don’t forget :), and feel free to change the speeds to whatever works best for you. It’s a challenging, but manageable run.
Have a great Thursday everyone!

Sushi is ALWAYS good! Dan and I got it for lunch on Monday and I’m getting it tonight at Girl’s Night after workout!
I could eat it everyday I think . . . lol
I wouldnt have expected to paah for the extra role its not just you. But im on the train home and those pictures of sushi have literally made my stomach rumble! If only trains had sushi bars…
Oh man wouldn’t that be awesome?! And I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking that 🙂
yay to great runs! I really like that workout, i’ll have to try it out
It was a TOUGH one but totally worth it.
Sushi is my go-to date night with my husband!
It’s a favorite of ours 🙂
Holy buckets…9.0 for a minute would kill these midget legs of mine! I may have to try an altered version of that!
You should have seen my little legs lol
I can’t make a fair assessment until I know how you were talking to the sushi folks. Were you yelling at them with threatening gestures, as I’m picturing.
LOL — my 5′ stature normally makes me a naturally intimidating presence. . . so the yelling and threats aren’t normally necessary.
Love sushi, and no, I don’t thin y’all were out of line at all, why couldn’t they have told you they couldn’t make the roll in the first place? At the very least they should have comped it…but I’m a huge wimp and probably wouldn’t have made a peep about it haha
Oh we didn’t make a peep about it, were just a little eeked after. Especially considering the roll they made us instead was MORE expensive!
That’t really frustrating! I had a more positive experience when my sister and I went out and the wine we ordered was out of stock so they subbed a more expensive wine for free; maybe I’m mean but I feel like that’s what SHOULD happen
Yeah I mean I TOTALLY understand that things happen – but I think the right thing to do is comp your customer for it! What a difference it would have made if they just put in that little effort!
This is a great speed workout! I think I will try it this weekend! 🙂
I love sushi and now after seeing your pictures will probably order it in for dinner tonight!
Jealous I want it again tonight, ha!
Ugh yes, I would have been annoyed (but I doubt I would have said anything). If you’re forced to wait a long time and THEN find out they cannot make something, that’s poor service. Plus rudeness just pisses me off.
We definitely didn’t say anything (I never do) but it definitely left me not wanting to go back to that place anytime soon! Plenty of other fish in the sea (pun?)
Oh I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t want to go back.
