We had an eventful weekend.

Friday evening we went over to Hedgie’s house to grill, hang out and the rest of the crew went to go watch the Simpson’s movie at some late hour.  Tim and I headed home as I was going to run in the Hartford Life PACE 5k the next morning with Bree … and we had to be there around 7:30am.

Considering I set my alarm, but neglected to switch it on, I still made it on time, somewhat groggy and somewhat fueled up to run.  I also did much better than I had expected since my hip injury earlier this year has been plaguing me.  Since we had chips for this race, I got a really accurate time and pace:  31:49 (10:16/mile pace).  I couldn’t believe it!

I also discovered that I need to recalibrate my Nike+ gadget as it said I only did 4.8k in the 5k race.  So really, I’ve been running more than what my gadget is telling me!  Tonight, I’ll recalibrate before my run.

Saturday evening, Tim and I went out to celebrate our 1-year anniversary.  It’s hard to believe it’s been a whole year since we first met in person…but I can’t imagine my life without him.  To say “life is good” is an understatement.  First of many!

Sunday I had to work at the part-time job, then Tim and I hung out catching up on the Tivo recordings, then we went over to his friend’s house to help finish moving.  We got home around 8pm and indulged in some Taco Hell for supper as we were both too knackered to get anything else.

Once again, I’m reflecting on my diet.  I seem to be hovering around the same weight, regardless of what I do exercise-wise.  As a result, I’m going to start really watching what I’m taking in food-wise.  I do know that beer and wine will be absent from my intake for quite some time.  It’s nothing but empty calories that makes me feel all bloated and crappy.

So, we’ll see how that goes.

Happy Monday.
