If You Like Pina Coladas…

Hi friends! I hope your weekend has been a good one so far. We lucked out with the weather yesterday since it didn’t storm like the forecast called for. Well it may have stormed overnight but I didn’t wake up so who knows. Hopefully the humidity has died down a bit because it was killer the past few days.

I woke up nice and early to get in an easy 3 mile run. Boy did my legs need those easy miles. They were feeling it after the 200m sprints I had on Friday. I managed to finish all by 7 and hopped into the shower. It’s crazy how summer running means even easy runs leave you covered in sweat. I wanted to get to the grocery store before it was too crowded so I made a big smoothie for breakfast. In it was some blueberries, strawberries, 1/3 of a banana and cauliflower rice from the freezer plus chia seed, peanut butter, protein powder and enough milk to make it drinkable through a straw.

Once the groceries were all put away, I headed back out to hit up Target and TJ Maxx. I wandered around both stores for a while to browse and see the things that I needed (read as wanted). I actually picked up a few pairs of shorts at TJ Maxx so I’d call it a win. I ended up meeting Alex in Princeton to go to a few stores since he said J. Crew was having a sale. Unfortunately I didn’t get anything there but we did get a Father’s Day Gift so it wasn’t a total bust of an outing!

When we got home, I was getting hungry. I made a deli sandwich and added some carrots and pretzels to my plate. It was oh so tasty. I’ve noticed that most of my weekend lunches are deli meat sandwiches but honestly I don’t even care. It’s good so why not?

After lunch we leashed Bailey up to go to the park. Unfortunately we weren’t there very long before it started to rain. It was the weirdest thing! It was just a few drops then nothing for a bit until we could hear the drops on trees a bit away. All of a sudden the largest rain drops came down. Even though she didn’t have a ton of time to run around, it’s the thought that counts right?

Once we got home, I grabbed my book to read. Chelsea Sedoti’s The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett is a cute book. I think it would be a good one to read by the beach or pool since it’s not crazy intense or anything but not completely mindless or anything. I’m a little over halfway and curious how it’s going to end.

Alex said how the hot and humid weather was making him want a treat. The treat ended up being a pina colada. We took them outside since the rain had stopped and chatted for a bit. I felt like I was getting bit my mosquitos so after a bit, I headed back inside to continue our conversation.

For dinner, we order Thai food. I got Pad See Lew with chicken, American broccoli, Chinese broccoli, egg in a black soy sauce. It was really good! Alex got beef Pad Thai and really enjoyed his meal as well. When Alex went to pick it up, they had actually messed up my order and someone made something completely differently so they made my correct meal right on the spot. I’m glad they owned up to their mistake to give good customer service.

After dinner we watched Patriot’s Day. This is the movie about the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013. Oh my…this movie was amazing. There were so many times in it that both Alex and I said we could have cried. I actually did cry at one point. The movie was so well made and according to this Boston Globe article, pretty accurate. If you have not seen the movie stop everything and watch it. We headed to bed once the movie ended.

Question of the day: Do you like pina coladas?
