I got interrupted by a very long series of phone calls at work related to one of my hepatitis C patients - this had to be solved or he'd miss his Friday injection. Then I got called in because the alarms were going off like crazy because my sub forgot to turn off a printer.
Other than that it was a fun weekend in which I:
- Had lunch at Commander's Palace, complete with $0.25 martinis and bread pudding souffle (of course).

- Celebrated the end of the semester with friends who are first year law students.
- Took a walk in Audubon park to feed the ducks.
- Baked up a storm: gingerbread cookies, peppermint cake balls, more fruitcake. I tried a British boiled fruitcake recipe and it's just so-so.
- Went to the library and got some fantastic books - I love Trevanian!
- Finished shopping for David, including stuffing his stocking.
- Cleaned the entire house, did groceries, and other boring stuff.
- Watched football.
- Joined the Varsity Sports long run Saturday group for about 10 miles.
- Ran the Old Man River half marathon, 1:30:26, another PR! And first in my age group (I think 6th overall). I wore Santa socks!

- Had an intervention with a sibling who decided to pierce his lip. Since he is now living with me (interim; the semester just ended) I have the power of food to control his actions. He's totally in the doghouse right now.
- Got a brake tag on my car the day it was due; I like to avoid those late fees!
- Snuggled on the sofa with my favorite blanket, a book, and the hubby.
Overall, a fun long weekend! How was your weekend?
1:30?!! Holy smokes...and it is so underplayed (unless there is another post and of course I missed it since I am bad at blog reading these days)....anyway, congrats!! I would be thrilled with this time!! Lip piercing intervention...ahh, not worth it. They'll find a way to do it anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteOk, I have to call you out on the fact that you said some day you will be fast in a comment last week on my blog... YOU ARE FAST - YOU TOOK FIRST IN YOUR AGE GROUP.
ReplyDeleteOk, there, I said it. Now, no more saying one day you will be fast - at least not to me! ;)
My weekend was great! I did lots of baking and cooking and went to a holiday concert!
i'm with the ladies above - you've been throwing down some amazing times lately and with seemingly no effort! but that could just be because you don't blog about the mundane day to day training.
ReplyDeletea pr with a 10 miler the day before. How do you do that? You are amazingly strong. back to back marathons w/ a PR, and a 10 miler and a half marathon PR. Go Girl!
ReplyDeleteUm, I LOVE those santa socks. I totally would have said something if I'd seen them.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great weekend! I love your socks! I would love to follow someone who is wearing those!
