Weekend and Monday Setup

Welp it's Monday again. I'm trying REALLY hard not to dread Mondays. Spending all week waiting for the weekend is exhausting and frankly, makes the time go way too fast for my liking. Maybe I'll start saying happy Monday instead of happy Friday?

This weekend was a good one! Friday night I stayed in and got some much needed R&R. I woke up refreshed on Saturday and headed over to a place where I had bought a groupon to get some new glasses. I forgot to bring my perscription (annoying) but finalllllly picked out some new frames. Thank goodness. Being semi-blind is not cheap. I bought the cheapest frames in the store and my glasses still cost me almost $350! Not fair.

Afterwards I met up with my best friend from home for lunch. She was visiting for the weekend and we grabbed some food at a little pub near my apartment. So nice to catch up with her :)

After lunch I met up with TKO for a pub crawl through Beacon Hill for one of his friend's birthdays. I love going out in Beacon Hill -- I don't do it nearly often enough. I drank a littttle too much on the pub crawl and succumbed (succame??) to some drunk eating at the end of the night. I have been dying to hit up Saus --a little Belgian place that opened up last year-- for months and couldn't resist the offer. We split some pommes frites with some amazing dipping sauces (bacon parmesan and ole chipotle). So good!!!


We also split a frikandel, which is basically a "Belgian/Dutch street food best described as a burger-sausage." It was topped with shredded cheddar and a creamy cheddar sausage. I'm not too huge on sausages but this may have been the best I ever had!

Tonight I'm going to see the movie "This Means War" for free! I actually don't want to see this movie at all but can't pass up free things. Whatever, I like going to the movies and hopefully there will be some good previews!

Now for some Monday Setup, inspired by Monica at Run Eat Repeat's Sunday Setup! I didn't run at all last week, so I know if I put it on my calendar for this week I'll do it. The 5K is less than 9 weeks away and if I want to get anywhere close to that 30 minute mark I'm gonna have to get my butt in gear. So here goes:

Monday: Nothing
Tuesday: Nothing (valentine's day!)
Wednesday: Run (2 miles in < 22 mins., 2:1 intervals as long as I can go)
Thursday: 30 min. walk/zumba/abs
Friday: Run (2.5 miles in < 28 mins., 2:1 intervals as long as I can go)
Saturday: Gym class/Cardio circuit at home
Sunday: Gym class/Cardio circuit at home

Have a nice Monday!
