Weekly Recap- March 9-15, 2015

My ankle was feeling better this week so I was hoping to start my runs again next week. But it turned out that it was really bugging me during the race on Saturday. I'm going to be good and take a full 2 weeks off before the Savannah race.

Monday--rest. I attended the Yelp Elite Event at LongHorn Steakhouse. It was sooo good and I met lots of new friends!

Tuesday--rest. My dad was in town so Kory and I went to Happy Hour with him at Ruth's Chris.

Wednesday--rest. I got my Stitch Fix in. I kept the white shirt with black hearts.

Thursday--rest. I went out with some Yelp girls to BJ's Brewhouse to celebrate Mia's birthday!

Friday--rest. I drove home to Orange Park for the race the next day. I went out to dinner with my parents to Bistro Aix. They'd been raving about the Blue Cheese Chips which I was dying to try. We also tried Veal Bone Marrow "Canoes" (very interesting) and this really good seafood ravioli which was ravioli stuffed with shrimp and crab topped with lobster in a lobster cream sauce. So good! For dessert we had Chocolate Gateaux.

I also got my race packet that Kristin had picked up for me.

Saturday- Gate River Run--9.46 miles in 1:42:09. Mile 1: 8:24, Mile 2: 8:27, Mile 3: 9:30, Mile 4: 10:36, Mile 5: 11:29, Mile 6: 11:51, Mile 7: 11:44, Mile 8: 12:36, Mile 9: 12:47, Mile 9-9.46: 10:07, Average Pace: 10:48.

Went out too fast & had to start intervals at mile 2! Gah! Ankle was bothering me! Faith caught up to me around mile 4 and we ran together for the rest of the way. At the end of the bridge, my foot slid halfway in a grate--my foot hurt after that. Luckily only short distance til end. Felt really slow but only 38secs slower than last year.

Sunday--rest. Worked in Gangster at Disney and had a friend ride my show--I didn't even know she was on it!
