Crush

After just one minty mojito, I’m a bit tipsy, so this will be kept quite short. I just couldn’t not write anything… no, not today. I had a big crush on today. It was a splendid Friday/first day of the month. I hope it’s a sign for what’s to come in October. Fingers are crossed.

Well, besides the usual school deal, I had an extra special workout at the WREC and an extra special dinner with my visiting guest. Before I get ahead of myself to the deliciousness that is currently being digested in my small intestine, let’s not forget about today’s run that was ever so fun!

• 1 mi. indoor track run @ 8:10
• 15-minute spin [6 mi.]
• 15-minute chit chat break + strength training
• 30-minute treadmill run – 1.0 incline

5 minutes @ 8.0mph [7:30 pace] <—Happy Hillary

10 minutes @ 7.5mph [8:00 pace]

repeat set.

• 0.25 mi. indoor track run

Tonight, my weekend guest and I – any guesses!? – enjoyed a late night dinner downtown at a restaurant I’ve heard much about, but have never dined at: Crush. I didn’t snap any photos of the cozy, classy atmosphere of the 2nd story restaurant and lounge, but that it was. The food was also rated highly by the food critic, yours truly.

Fuji Apple: spiced pecans, currants, blue cheese, roasted onions, organic field greens, balsamic

Crush Bruschetta: heirloom cherry tomatoes, burrata cheese, basil pesto, toasted sourdough bread

Arrancini: crispy fried risotto, roasted tomato, basil pesto

Reminded me of my girl crush on Giada ;)

 

Eventful day = 1 tired student/runner/“hostess”. Time for sweet dreaming! Have a wonderful weekend, all. I’ll be back to share mine…

With a huge smile,

Hillary
