"I'll Take a Water with Lemon, Please!"

Plicas are pointless. If I didn't have them, runs would be peachy! But I do, therefore the first few minutes are still a bear. But I went on a little adventure today, that was fun. It's track try-out season so there were about 200 kids swarming over my runnin' grounds. If we learned anything from the previous track incident, it's that I do no like jiggling in front of previous and current students. Not cool. So I decided to take it "off the beaten path" (quite literally) and run on the roads surrounding the school. One notable issue with that idea: there are no sidewalks in the area, just rough, grassy patches. Excellent for trail running practice for the Remission Run 5k next weekend, not so great for keeping up a steady pace. (Also not so great for students walking to school. Come on, CFISD! Pull some weight and get those city planners to build some sidewalks, peeps! But please don't take any more money from my paycheck. Thanks.)

I did get honked at... not quite the anonymous run I was going for. Luckily it was a cheerleader of mine and not some male student with juevos enough to hit on his teacher. My phone and my app's (I know you don't but an apostrophe on plural words, it's just an odd word to pluralize) kept me company and the little talking lady on my running app made sure to keep me updated on my stats. Still kept it a little short; 1.53 mi at about 16 minutes. I would give you the exact time, but I got distracted and forgot to push stop. It happens.

It was hard to concentrate today on my run because I was meeting at friend at 4 for margaritas and Tex-Mex at Chuy's. I was stoked about getting to hang out with a girlfriend and get to catch up on all sorts of Aggie/teacher/Houstonian type things. Don't worry health nuts, my margaritas plan ended up being a few tall glasses of water with lemon. Fancy!

Off to bed... after this episode of Charm City Cakes is over. I wish I was a baker!!!
