Let's backpedal to Friday -- Halloween Eve at my school. Work husband and I had some Frozen funsies!:) It helped that I have blonde hair and blue eyes.
Since we were in charge of the Haunted House in the gym, I knew we probably wouldn't have a chance to eat breaky...and maybe lunch...so I did the right thing and picked up some Halloweenie donuts for us to nom on.
It's always nice when your students think of you, though.
I rushed home right after work, packed (quickly --- I left essentials behind...) and set off to pick up Harry. I'm not gonna lie: I was ridiculously exhausted already at this point. I was basically fueled by Halloween candy, and still had a bit of a drive ahead of me. I was lucky, though, because Harry and I agreed on a spot to eat almost as soon as we checked into our hotel room. Downtown MKE was so quiet...it was strange...
Build-A-Burger was the spot we chose, and it was DELISH.
After dinner, we hit the room to get to snoozin'. I was freezing and wanted to warm up, so I hopped in the shower. The hotel we were staying at had this lovely massaging soap.
Back to Build-A-BREAKFAST to start our Saturday. Chicken & waffles ===== yes.
We hit up the expo for Packet Pickup, and saw MO. She was running the full marathon, and had a sub-4:00 goal.
SPOILER ALERT #1 ----------> SHE KILLED IT!
We went out to dinner with Jennifer, Eric, and their friend Chris. Pizza and beer is always a good idea the night before a race, didn't you know?
We got back to the hotel and I slept like garbage. I was more worried about the time change and my alarm not waking me up more than anything. Plus my back hurt. I had nothing to worry about, as my iPhone was smart enough to change when it was supposed to, and I got up seriously ready for some caffeine. A little while later, Harry and I hopped on the shuttle to take us to the start line. And in true Harry & Tiff race fashion, we were running late.:) We had the whole bus to ourselves!
The race deets will come later this week; I want to see if they got any good pictures of me, haha!
SPOILER ALERT #2 ----------------> 1:58:46. Not too bad for not training for this "event".
As for the rest of the trip:
Delicious coffee.
Delicious sushi.
Delicious beer. No, not all of that is for us. I picked up some booze that isn't sold past the Wisconsin border for some friends.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AS FOR THIS WEEK, I'm dealing with diet changes. I'm DONE with sugar, guys. I have stuff to train for and can't put crap in the tank, so I'm breaking up with all of the sweets.
Also? THIS.
Have a WONDERFULLY WEIRD TIME-CHANGED MONDAY, friends!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How did you spend your Halloween weekend?
Do you do well with the time change?
-PARENTS OF SMALL CHILDREN ---- I bet not, huh?:(
How often do you go on vacay? Is it mostly about food like it is for us?:)
