We had a somewhat busy schedule last weekend compared to our normal laziness. Usually the most productive thing that gets done around here is our long runs! But this weekend we were both productive and social.
Friday night we went out to eat with some friends, where we stuffed ourselves thanks to half price appetizers during happy hour combined with a Groupon we had worth $40. It is hard to spend $40 only on $5 appetizers! :) But since we went out to eat fairly early, we were also home early, so I started on my weekend project of painting the guest room. We haven't really reassembled things yet, so I'll have to post pictures later. We have a string of guests coming through in March so I though it would be nice to spruce things up a bit!
Saturday I did my long run of 12 miles, which went pretty well - I kept it nice and slow at a 10:13 pace both because I was worried about my knees and because it was pretty warm outside. That's probably about the pace I will target for the marathon, so its also good to get some time in seeing what that feels like. We also took the dogs to the dog park to hand out with their friends, but it turned out we had to split them up because the big dog area had some questionable spots where our dogs could have gotten out of the fence. Usually we just take all of the dogs to the small dog area, but there were some actual small dogs there so the big dogs couldn't come over. I need to get a better picture of all of them together at some point, but here's Ellie trying to make friends with a dog more her size. They were both pretty hilarious with the two chihuahuas that were there - they kept sniffing them like "are you really a dog?!?".
Then we ran a few errands and then engaged in our typical weekend activity of watching Netflix before we headed out to dinner (out to eat two nights in a row - a calorie splurge for us!!) and then to see the local indoor soccer team, the Texas Strikers. This is the first year we've had a team and they only had a couple of home games left so we decided it was time to go. Although the team isn't great (their record is now 2-12) the game was definitely exciting and they won! There were very few fans at the game but at only $9 I would definitely go again! I'm not sure if the team will still be around next year since attendance has been so low, but I hope they are.
Sunday I got back to painting and finished up the guest room except for the doors. I hate painting doors! That will be my project for this weekend. Remember the hallway of off-white doors? Well those will be conquered this weekend also. And maybe it won't be that bad, I just feel like I really hated painting doors when I did my laundry room...

Obviously I managed to take zero pictures of our weekend... maybe one of these days I'll get better about that haha. But it was a good one and we were excited that the Ravens won! I definitely got on the Ray Lewis bandwagon when the playoffs started. I am a continual bandwagon fan and I'm not ashamed to admit it - I just like a good story! And we were rooting against the 49ers since they knocked the Packers out of the playoffs and Sam has decided he just doesn't like them regardless. We were really excited when the Ravens were up for so long (Sam really wanted the 49ers to get embarrassed) but ultimately I was glad is was an excited game at the end.
Anyway, thats enough for today. Did anyone else tear up a little bit during the Budweiser Clydesdale commercial? Pathetic, but the animal stories get to me I guess!
