Weekday Date Night: Concert in the Park

Whenever we go on a date, it's always on the weekend. The weekdays are just crazy with work, training and real life. Since it's so close to a race, I don't have any workouts. So, we decided to enjoy our time together outside, in the nice, cool weather. We went to a concert in the park.

We picked up some KFC on our way there (I know how bad it is for you).

It was fun, we brought our camping chairs and just relaxed while listening to some swing music.

Since I'm not baking, I bought some cookies. If I baked these, they would have been half gone before we go there and 3 times as many. This was the better thing to to (PB cookies, of course).

There was a different crowd than I expected. Look at the sea of gray. We still had fun.

Here's part of the band. The singers. They dressed up in old war uniforms.

The people in front of us had this dog. It was begging for my chicken. It was so cute. It would just sit there moving its paws up and down with these sad, pathetic eyes.

A lot of these old people really knew how to dance. It was fun to watch them.

It was freezing out, so I'm glad we brought our sweatshirts. Jason was a good sport, he hates going to things like this (really anything with a lot of people).

I hope the weather stays this cool for tomorrow. There's only one more day. It's crazy!! Today and a lot of tomorrow, I will be hydrating like crazy. Water, please best friends with my belly today. I always hate how many bathroom trips this means. At least my co-worker (yes, I only have one) is understanding.

Tomorrow, I will talk about my goals and race day outfit and fueling.


Have you ever ran a night time half? If so, how did you fuel?

Are you racing this weekend?

Girls Night Out

Same thing every weekday. Nothing special, until I left work this evening. I got changed into some shorts and flip flops to enjoy a nice hot summer day listening to music with some friends. We headed to Folsom for their Concert in the Park. It was a fun night. Here's the band: AZUR. They were pretty cool, classic rock band. We heard all the good songs and watched a lot of crazy people dancing. But hey, they were having a blast.

The girls and I usually try to meet up once a month without any husbands or kids. We take turns hosting at our houses and decided to change it up a bit. We needed to go out and do something. We also take turns on what we bring. One time, I'll bring the dessert, and maybe next time I'll bring a side dish. This time I brought a side dish (pasta salad from yesterday's post). One brought sandwiches, and the other brought the dessert.

Here's my full plate of a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with provolone cheese, mayo and mustard, along with my pasta salad. I know, I don't eat mayo, but it was a special occasion. The sandwich was great! I could have eaten 4 of them (and then exploded).

I drank a soda (which I can't remember the last time I one). I had a baby size Sprite. It was perfect size. I can't finish the "normal" sized sodas, way too much for me. This way, I feel like a giant, too.

My favorite part of the day...dessert. We had angel food cake, chocolate pudding, strawberries and home made whipped cream. This was so good, I had two. Like I said, a special occasion.

A few hours after I got home (which was about 5 hours after I last ate), I was getting hungry again. I pulled out some tortilla chips and snacked on those with some bottled water. That did the trick.

Well, I have to get up early in the morning for our garage sale. I'm not looking forward to getting up at 5:45 am to sit in the hot sun and talk to strange people. I'm not saying that only strange people go to garage sales (I go to them as well), only strange people go to the garage sales where we're having it. Every time. Good night blog followers!!
