Happy Monday everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was a lot of errands, getting things done, and waaaaaay too many episodes of How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. I’m obsessed.
Yesterday was up bright and early and headed out on a 6 mile run to get the day started. I’ve found that I’ve got to workout first thing, or it’s just not going to happen. Anyone else like this?
It was completely gorgeous out! The sun was up (it rises around 5:15am here…) and it was breezy and pretty cool for most of the run!
I ran the 6 miles in 56:42 for an average pace of 9:27 min/miles. Here were my splits:
Mile 1 –> 9:48
Mile 2 –> 9:50
Mile 3 –> 9:24
Mile 4 –> 9:11
Mile 5 –> 9:18
Mile 6 –> 9:12
It was a great run, and I’ve been picking up my pace naturally recently, without feeling like I’m pushing it too hard. I guess it’s the great weather!
I finished further from home than I usually do (I didn’t do an out and back, I just kind of ran around various areas until I hit 6), so as I was walking the last bit home I stopped to stretch. Figured I should take advantage of the gorgeous weather!
After my run I got my laundry started and went to Trader Joes. Then it was time for brunch with my neighbor in the building. Last time we went out to brunch we went to Orange, and we had to have a repeat! This time I got a scramble with asparagus, roasted red pepper and mushrooms. Delicious! I also got their Frushi (fruit sushi) but forgot to take a picture! It was so good.
I spent the rest of the afternoon watching plenty more How I Met Your Mother, finishing up my laundry, going to Whole Foods, cleaning up my apartment and making my lunches for the whole week! Haha thrilling, right? I thought so.
Later on I met up with my brother and sister-in-law at a restaurant that has a dog-friendly patio, so of course Molly had to come along!
We ordered the Beer Cheese as an appetizer… Lol I don’t get the beer part? But it’s not bad.
Harrison and I weren’t very hungry so we split the veggie burger. It was DELICIOUS! With some sweet potato fries. Please ignore the fact that I took the photo after I ate the burger…
So many people walked past our table with frozen yogurt that I basically HAD to get some… Completely necessary.
What’s your favorite way to start the day?
Do you know any restaurants that are dog-friendly?!
