Mondays are mine and Giraffe's usual going out to eat night because it's one of the few he has off from school and work. Plus I'd had a blah day and enjoy going out to be in a cheerful environment. To me, endless refills make for a cheerful environment.
Like I had said previously, the only stipulation to my experiment was I could eat out if someone invited me. Coincidentally, one of our friends had a gift card to Applebee's. Of course, Applebee's had a special where you could get an appetizer and two entrees for $20. So we went whole hog: appetizer, entree, and then to the mall for ice cream at Marble Slab. Dang you and your amaretto ice cream with strawberries! I did have the smallest cup possible, which equated to about a cup. Not so bad, I hope?
Anyway, I'm back on the horse today and feeling good. I haven't trained for my race since before the weekend, so I need to get back on that horse as well. Maybe I need a new metaphor since riding two horses would be tricky. Today I might try running outside for the length of the race since I've only ran on a treadmill. I like the comfort of the constant weather of indoors as well as the TV. There are no headphones allowed in the race so I need to mentally train myself as well. Being in a competitive environment will most likely cause me to have a better running time than usual, but I still need to be as prepared as possible.
