Running, Movies and Life as I knew it this weekend...

Workouts:
Thursday: 5K in 25:41.  It was a tempo run day, but I didn't feel like running, so I figured I'd pump out a 5K.  Worked out rather well...8:17/mile pace.

Friday: Ran 12 miles in 1:59:28, 9:57 pace, instead of doing it Saturday.  I probably could have used a rest day because my legs were a bit tight from weights, but it wasn't a bad run. The kicker...this was on the treadmill.  Thankfully my gym has a cardio cinema, so it wasn't bad.  We saw Mao's Last Dancer

...pretty good and based on a true story.  It's actually a lot easier to run in on the mill...you just put your nutrition and water in the cup holders instead of trying to carry them...WIN!  We ran Friday because the waves were supposed to be good at the beach Saturday morning so we readjusted our schedule a bit...priorities you know...


Saturday: Walked on the beach leisurely 2.5 miles. 


Sunday: Does cleaning count?!  No?  It should....

This was my view on the way to the gym Friday!  We FINALLY got rain!!!

Saturday proved to be a delightful, relaxing day.  I loved it.  We walked on the beach, swam in the ocean, ate Taco City, watched:

Yay Jason Statham!  The movie was pretty good if you like movies similar to the Transporter movies.  I do, so win for me.

Sunday was spent cleaning, getting the house in order and starting putting pavers down in the side yard.  Remember that rain picture from above?  That was our whole weekend.  Afternoon thunderstorms were back...score!  The bad part was, where John dug up the sod, where there was only dirt, turned into a swamp.  So...I'm hoping the sun dries the dirt so we can lay some pavers this week.

I also made some food in the slower cooker.  Yesterday, I made wings for dinner.  Then we put in a pork tenderloin to cook while at work today!  Yum!  I also prepared meals for the week, so hopefully I can stick to them and have good tasting and good for me lunches this week.

We ended our evening by watching:

I really liked the movie.  It's on more of the serious side...I can definitely see why it won awards.

PS: For all you iced coffee lovers out there...you have to visit the Pioneer Woman and check out her recipe for iced coffee.  I used Dunkin Donut's vanilla coffee to make it and I have been enjoying myself some superb iced coffee...plus, I've already drank my money's worth!

What was the highlight of your weekend?

Any good movie recommendations?

Are you more for running outside or on the treadmill in the summer?
