Work It Out Weekend

Whew, this weekend was a doozy of a fun

and packed with a heck of a lot of stuff.

If you remember, Friday was Le Husband's birthday

so we went out to dinner at our favorite Mexican joint

with La Familia. 

As usual, dinner was delicious and the mariachi band was lots of fun.

After stuffing ourselves with yummy Mexican

we headed to our favorite froyo joint, Menchie's for dessert.

It was a wonderful, low key celebration, which is just the kind

of celebration C wanted this year. 

He also enjoyed my card, almost as much as I did buying it.

First birthday card to my husband :)

Saturday morning I was up BRIGHT and early to meet Babyspice

for a four mile memorial run. 

This past week in Richmond, a woman was killed by a drunk driver while

on her morning run, leaving behind a husband and three children. 

The community quickly galvanized behind the family and Saturday was 

#MEGSMILES day. Everyone was encouraged to run in honor

of Meg and so Babyspice and I joined the 90,000+ runners Saturday morning.

A friend of hers joined and we ran freezing in the 32 degree weather,

but we realized we were blessed to be able to run. 

It wasn't as bad as anticipated and I felt good about doing my part to honor Meg.

You'd think my workout would be done for the day wouldn't you?
Well, you're not married to captain active like I am.

Babyspice and I subbed for C's flag football team and despite my initial hesitation, I had a lot of fun, caught a few passes and even scored a touchdown.
Actually, all three of us helped with scores so we looked like allstars ;)!

The plan was to get home, veg out and then go out to dinner,
but we were both so wiped we decided we would rather stay in to eat.
So we manned up, hit the grocery store for the week, cooked a banging dinner
and watched tv and movies before passing out early.

But, before we passed out, I made good on my promise
and backed this deliciousness. #SINFUL!

Because we wanted to enjoy our Sunday afternoon, we chose to wake up
for early church, instead of the usual 11am service.

We enjoyed the service, came home and got more done before noon
than we've done in a whole day.

Before we left for the gym, we put together an amazing slow cooker chili,
that was the best thing to come back to after kicking
our own butt's at the gym. HURT SO GOOD!

Since everything was done early in the day, we were able to be lazy and

enjoy playoff football all afternoon. I love being lazy, after working hard.

How was your weekend?
