I just got home from spending the weekend with Bryan. It was a great weekend! We spent Friday night just hanging out having fun. He took me out to Legal Seafood to celebrate my passing the MTEL Reading Specialist exam! Yay! I had a yummy meal and we got a great lobster bib picture...classic. Haha. On the way home we saw a carnival on the side of the road and decided to stop. It was hilarious and completely spontaneous. We stopped and walked around a little, and decided we were way too old to be there. All the people who were there were 15 and wearing mini skirts or pants that were 2 sizes too big for the guys and 2 sizes too small for the girls haha! We did play Skeeball though, that was fun! We also took pictures by this ride that we decided would probably have made both of us puke if we had gone on it. It was called the "freak out." Hahah!
Then yesterday was kind of a weird day...it was long, and we kind of did alot, but we were also kind of really lazy. We woke up and went to get breakfast, that was fun, we had a delish breakfast and got some caffiene pumping through our veins. Then we went to REI so I could get a new bike computer. (More on this later.) After that we went back to his house and we called his sister and his parents because we had thought we might hang out with them, but they all ended up not really feeling like doing anything haha...so we watched a weird movie on Netflix. I think it was called "The Management" but I'm not positive if that was even the name. It was the weirdest Jennifer Aniston movie I have ever seen...haha! We also tried out some energy gummies that we bought at REI. They were called "Sharkies" and they sucked. Haha...we both felt tired after we ate them. Note to self: Don't use Sharkies during triathlon. Haha
By the time the movie was over we were both in semi-coma's from a big breakfast and a rainy day. We kinda layed around for a while and then I tried to get Bryan off the couch to do some stretching...he wasn't too happy about that. Haha. Finally we were getting kind of bored, so we were thinking of what to do. Bryan's dad loves pie, and one of the first things he ever asked me was if I made pie. He was amazed that I said I know how to make key lime pie, so yesterday we decided we would make a key lime pie and bring it to his parents' house which is about an hour away from Bryan's apartment. We decided we wanted to make something else too, so we went with coconut macaroons because we thought it went well with the key lime tropical theme hahaahaha! We laughed for a while then we went to the store to get the stuff to make the pie and macaroons. I said we should just get key lime juice, but Bryan saw real key limes and decided he wanted to "squeeze those limes!" So we bought those. He was pretty hilarious standing at the counter squeezing these tiny limes...it took forever just to get 4 oz. of lime juice...but he was a man about it, because after all, there's no crying in lime squeezing. Haha. My challenge for the night was to make homemade whipped cream without an electic mixer. I think I got an arm workout from whisking for so long. Anyway, the pie came out great, his parent's loved it, and we had a great time at their house!
Today we went shopping and out to lunch with his family, and his mom made us pumpkin waffles in the morning. Those were pretty amazing. We played scrabble last night and his mom won...she managed to use all 7 letters to make the word decanter and get a bonus 50 points! I was impressed! Today we also played boggle...that was pretty fun, I love playing board games!
I had a really great weekend, and I'm not looking forward to starting another busy week. I better get to bed soon, but before I do, I have a little training info to share too. On Thursday afternoon my class was canceled, so I decided to take advantage of that and go for a long BRICK. I went for a 25 mile bike ride and then I ran a 5k. It was really great...I felt so good, and I got to test out my race day nutrition. I ate a packed of orange GU chomps while I was on the bike, and I really noticed the difference in my energy level. My energy picked up immediately and lasted throughout the bike and run. I was pretty happy with that. I didn't have any digestive issues with them either, so that's good. I bought some other energy options at REI yesterday, so I plan to try those out in the next two weeks and see which I like best for my race day nutrition. I decided I will use some sort of energy "food" during the race because it made me feel so much more energized the other day, and I don't see how it could hurt me as long as I pick something that doesn't bother my stomach and something I can eat easily on the bike. Anyway, I was pretty damn happy that I was able to do that long of a brick. I hope to do another one this week sometime. That's all for now! Goodnight everyone..
