we rented movies. ate out a lot! i did run 4 miles w/our team on sat morning and another 2 miles on sunday. he and i were watching triathlon, the ultra marathon in hawaii 2009. it was so inspiring. people w/disabilities finishing the impossible, i was so amazed. it also inspired my boyfriend to challenge me to a 2 mile run, he is not a runner nor does he participate in ANY physical activity whatsoever. i took on the challenge and he did great on the first mile, he was leading and i caught up to him because he began to walk. i told him endurance is EVERYTHING! i ran a little more in front of him as to show off, then came back for him as i knew he was in pain-- we shook hands and called it even, but we both who the real winner was.
we went to dinner afterwords at a local restaurant, swampys. pretty neat restaurant, so-so food. we went to buy fireworks afterwords. popped them, just him and i. drank a couple bottles of wine and ate junk food. it was awesome!
next morning, more junk food! we can never take a houston trip w/out visiting james coney island! they have the best chili dogs! mmm, mmm, good!
our mini-vacay was complete. went driving around, had coffee, some more lounging around. just perfect! if it's possible to fall in love all over again, i think i just did! ♥
Sounds like such a fun weekend! And props to your guys for getting inspired to run, especially since physical activity isn't his thing :)
ReplyDeleteawesome weekend :) but that's the difference between a husband and boyfriend - were you married you would have done your best to beat him, then rubbed his face in it the rest of the day ;)
ReplyDeleteYay, what a fun weekend! And good job on your runs. Especially the one with the bf. It's always a treat when my bf wants to run with me.
ReplyDeleteHi! Cute blog, I love the layout!!
ReplyDeleteJust read that quote under your picture and I love it. I just ran my first marathon in November. It was rough, but I would not trade the experience for anything.
