Opening Day!

Thursday Workout Wrap-Up: 2 mile hill run
Friday Workout Wrap-Up: 35 min upper body strength training

Three day weekends are the best!  Especially when they start like mine did.

Last week at Easter dinner some friends were talking about their "Noodies and Nails" night...then room got really quiet and pretty much everyone, in unison said "WHAT!?"  Turns out it was some of the girls getting together to eat noodles and do their nails.  My friends Lindsay said "Oh, I thought you were doing your nails while watching something like "Magic Mike"...wait! That's a great idea - let's do that!"

So Thursday I made myself get up early to get my run out of the way - something I haven't done in ages.  It was actually nice to get a morning run in and then be done for the day.  It was also nice that it was only a 2 mile run and my training planned called for hills.  Luckily, the park right down my block delivers that with no problem and a full loop around the park is just over 2 miles. Score!

After work I headed over to Lindsay's house for our own Noodies and nails night.  Lindsay picked up all kinds of Thai food and I brought over the movie and nail polish.  Go time!

I forgot to take a picture of the noodles, but they were delish and we ate ourselves into food commas. 

I painted my nails a nice shade of Orioles orange.

Let's go O's!

We also had fun making fun of the movie. We couldn't decide who was grumpier...Kristen Stewart of the girl in the movie - what do you think?

Friday was pretty much a holiday in Baltimore.  It was Opening Day for the Orioles.

I started the day sleeping in a bit and then getting in my upper body strength for my 1/2 training.  I did this routine and this video: 

Then it was time to head out for the game!  We met up with some friends Andrew and Melissa - it was Andrew's birthday too, so even more reason to celebrate.  We ended up with perfect weather and and O's win!

Today I am headed out with some friends to something called the Barn Show - I am not totally sure what this is...but I think it's something like if a barn was a store.....more to come on that!
