Long Run Day

I had ambitious plans for today, but they mostly got sidetracked after the long run this morning. I stayed up a little too late last night to finish watching the last season of Supernatural with my mom.

I think you're adorable too, Jensen. 

Supernatural is not my typical television show, but I have come to seriously love the on- and off-screen relationship between Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. They're awesome, and it makes them entertaining to watch regardless of the subject matter.

But that's beside the point. The point is that I stayed up too late, so I woke up later than normal. I did wake up and go straight out to my self-declared long run. I decided on four miles. It isn't so long that I'd kill myself, but definitely a step up from the 5k I've been doing the last couple of weeks.

I went just a smidgen over four miles in 45 minutes, which is not bad for me. I'm still clearly seeing the light at a sub-30 for the Turkey Trot.

After the run I had every intention of doing NROL, but I had to jump in the shower to be ready for the fiance's birthday lunch with his family (his birthday was over a month ago, but I won't get into that).

We went to Yard House, and I had hongos y rajas street tacos. I'm a southern California girl, so I love me some tacos. These were hands down the best tacos I've ever had. And that's saying a lot. A lot.

They had shiitake mushrooms, roasted pasilla peppers and grilled onions with lemon sriracha aïoli, jack, feta, avocado and red chili threads. Seriously. So. Good. 

I also tried a Maui Brewery Mana Wheat, which was delightful. But the star of the beer show was definitely the Deschutes Chainbreaker IPA. I'm not usually an IPA fan, but this white IPA would switch me to the dark side.

Then the fiance and I went shopping for  a bit, and by the time we got back home, I was tired. So NROL tomorrow. And the start of a (hopefully) much better work week.
