120 Hour Rewind

Hold on folks.  We are about to do a quick rewind from this morning's workout all the way back to Thursday evening.  Hold on tight...here we go...

Monday morning at 4:45am - Marathon Training Day 1.  3 miles at 9:52 pace.  Our goal pace was 10:00, so we were basically right on the money.  It was in t he 70's and extremely humid.  We were both sweating like whores in church.

Day one of training...smiling at this point.  Check back with me in a couple of months.

Already bitchy and it's only day one.

Sunday was Mother's Day...just in case you did not know that.  Anyway, we spent the afternoon at my parent's house.  It was super.

My lovely parents cooked up a delish feast.

Four generations of fantastic women right there.

I considered this my personal bowl of peel and eat shrimp.  Love that stuff!

We were having crawfish, but apparently Doug thought we were smoking doobies.

I was gagging and showing off all my wrinkles.

Alecia was trying to pierce her nose.

I got Alecia from Tin Can Treader this kickbutt wine glass for Mother's Day.  The other side says Loverboy.

Sunday morning was fantastic!

This tray was delivered to my bed.

Courtesy of Audrie.  She made toast and coffee all by herself.  Then Trent wrote me a poem and Audrie made me a card.  She even adorned the tray with my flower from the Mom's Run.

Saturday night I had a lazy night at home sippin' wine and reading.

I finished this book.  Super enjoyed it.  Expect a book review soon.

Saturday Afternoon I had a marvelous massage and facial from Cynthia.

This picture is from a previous massage, but I'm sure I looked just the same lying there.

The gorgeous Cynthia.

Saturday morning Trent and I ran the Mom's Run.  You can read the race review here.

We had a great time, and ran the 5K in under 30 minutes.  Whoot.

Friday night Doug and I went out with some friends to Empa Mundo.  It was a hole in the wall and was great.

The empanadas were not gluten free.  I cut them open and ate the filling.  However, they told me if I gave them advance notice, they would make me gluten free ones next time.  Awesome!

There was definitely lots of great wine going around.  Tom & Martha tasting the Riesling.

Jim and I were chatting about scuba diving and sippin' on something red and delicious.

The owner serenaded us with a couple of songs.

Then Doug took a turn on the guitar.

Thursday night Randee and I had an impromptu Cinco de Mayo celebration.  I only had an hour while the kids were at drum and piano lessons.  Don't all good mom's gulp down margaritas while waiting on their kids?

Those things were super cheap, super strong and super yummy.

I was responsible and only had one.

We took a quick self portrait in the parking lot and then we were off to be moms again.

There you have it.  The past 120 hours of my life.  Now you can go on about your day.

Happy Monday!

Whine and Wine Wednesday

Oh. My. Gosh.  I almost forgot about Whine and Wine Wednesday!

We were just Skyping with Alecia from tin can treader and she asked why I had not updated the blog.  It was another snow day in Texas and my lazy self has done nothing!

Scary self portrait.  Why I have my lips puckered and my eyebrows arched I will never know.

Whine for the day?  I really have none.  After waking up at my normal 4:15am and watching the news for an hour to see if we had school, I went back to bed until almost 9:00am.  Then I took a nap from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.  I did pick up the house a bit, but was overall very lazy.  It was wonderful!

Side note:  Audrie made this awesome Valentine's box today to take to school for her party on Monday.

She advised me that you put the card in the mouth of the robot and it falls into the box.  Fancy!

However, I did hear Doug whining to Alecia on Skype.  "My nipples were killing me."  That is what he said.  I think the conversation had something to do with running and why he now uses Body Glide.

Andres is in town and stopped by to visit and share a glass of vino!

Andres I will fork you up!  The best quote over from Trent!

And thank goodness we Skyped with Alecia so she could remind me that it was Whine and Wine Wednesday!

Alecia immediately ran to the kitchen to fill her wine glass to take part in the infamous Whine and Wine Wednesday!

Of course Alecia had to share her whine for the week with us and we were virtually sippin' wine together.

Doug and Alecia doing a Skype "cheers" with their wine glasses

Delish Tempranillo!  My favorite wine varietal! 

Workout:  Yeah, that never happened today! Too freakin' cold and icy in Texas.  I'm sure ready for spring!  Sunday looks great.  High 60's!

What is your whine and wine for the week?
