Oh hello Sunday, it’s so nice to see you again! So far our weekend has included more than a few sips of wine and beer, delicious food, friends and a few quality workouts! Today I woke up inspired to cook a Southern feast with a girlfriend this evening including crab cakes and gazpacho. I’m heading out to Whole Foods to pick up the ingredients while Bo and Meg recover on the sofa with Caddy Shack and Fast Times at Ridgemont High! Based on Bo’s tweets from earlier today, I think he’s realized that water is especially important when drinking after a long run!
I started the weekend in typical fashion, getting my long run done on Friday so it doesn’t cramp our social plans later in the weekend. I also love taking classes with friends on the weekends so running on Friday mornings is one of my favorite things to do before work. Bo and I had great plans to run Central Park before work but after he stayed out a bit too late with co-workers Thursday night, I found myself running along the East River instead. I ran without my Garmin and without music for half the run which was a perfect way to get back into training mode. I listened to my breathing and focused on staying at an uncomfortable pace, especially during the middle miles.
The rest of the morning was spent at the Fragrance Foundation breakfast celebrating some of the year’s top fragrances while enjoying amazing views of Central Park and Columbus Circle!
Since last summer I’ve gone down a size and am therefore in between sizes right now. Most of my Spring/Summer dresses are a size too large so I had a bit of a last minute outfit choice after trying a few different options. It was a bit risky based on the bold color choices but it ended up being a perfect outfit to greet Spring Friday sunshine!
Blazer– Dress– Necklace – Watch – Bracelets – Heels
Friday evening was spent relaxing with our friends over delicious food and wine down in Tribeca at Terroir and The Harrison. It was our first time at both spots and we’d love to go back again soon especially once it warms up a bit since The Harrison has outdoor seating! The grilled octopus appetizer and perfectly seasoned roasted chicken entrée were superb!
How has your weekend been so far?
Sounds like such a fun weekend. With so many fun things to do in the city, it’s so easy to live a social lifestyle! How awesome that you can fit your workouts in early to accommodate your schedule. 🙂
It was an awesome weekend Steph! It’s easy to stay TOO busy in a city like NYC!
Love the color of your blazer!
Do still do long runs on Friday mornings for marathon training, too? I can’t imagine running for several hours and then going to work–but then again, I’m not really a morning person, so running before work seems difficult from my perspective anyway!
Thanks Nicole! Yes, I do long runs on Friday during marathon training about 60% of the time!
