Racing and Other Weekend Fun.

In exciting weekend news, Matt and I went out on a date last night, hitting our favorite restaurant in Georgetown.  We went for a short walk after dinner, but the rain began to fall and we hightailed it back to the car, jumping in just before the downpour began.  I had my camera out very briefly, because of the rain.

The rain started falling before I could take pictures of anything interesting, like Matt.

Me.  Pre-race.

Today, I ran a race.  I left early in the morning to drive to the start, acquire my number (302) and warm up, and I actually ran a pretty good 5K, coming in at 22:27.  I can't remember the last time I drove that far alone, and the race was only 30 minutes away.   Yep, more time driving than running.  But I'm glad I went, glad I ran, and glad Matt and Ellie got to stay home and have some quality "Daddy Daughter Time."

Post race-today we went to a great little pastry shop across the street, where I ordered quiche and then asked if they have chocolate croissants.  Since the pastries were displayed on the other side of the store, I ordered mine sight unseen.  I regret not taking a photo, because it was the size of my head.

And since the sun was shining, Ellie visited the swings.

What are you looking forward to this work-week?  I am not looking forward to Ellie getting her eye scoped on Thursday, but I am looking forward to an end to "eye goop."
