Yesterday morning I headed out for my first “long run” of my Phoenix half-marathon training. We ended up walking almost all of our 7 miler, but I’m just glad we got out there and made the distance. My IT band was super tight and sore, so when I got home I stretched it out.
I had an eye appointment at 1pm which I was really excited about because I hadn’t had my eyes checked in two years, and I’d broken my glasses so…yeah, hadn’t been wearing them. =X I’m near sighted, but my right eye is stronger than my left, so I have a different RX in each eye. It’s not terrible, just a small prescription, but it does make a difference. My new eye doctor is really nice (and also very handsome,) and my prescription had changed. In fact, my eye is better, so my prescription went down a bit! Yay! I ordered my new glasses, and they fixed my old pair so I would have something to wear in the week or so that I’ll be waiting on my new glasses.
When I got home, my friend Allie sent me a text asking if I wanted to see NEVER LET ME GO with her that evening. I’d been wanting to see it, so I said of course, and we planned to meet to see a 9pm showing.
For dinner, we roasted a chicken and had some cous-cous, it was good, but I wish we’d had something else to add to the dish.
When I got to the theater, I tried to purchase my ticket, only to find out the show was sold out! We went to the little bar next to the theater for a drink and decided to see THE SOCIAL NETWORK at 10:40pm instead. Allie had already seen it, but it was really the only other movie we both were really excited about. I do want to see IT’S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY, but I wasn’t really feelin it last night. I was super disappointed we couldn’t see NEVER LET ME GO.
I was pleasantly surprised by THE SOCIAL NETWORK. After hearing all the hype, I was somewhat skeptical, but it was good! Also, Andrew Garfield is totally adorable, so that helped 🙂
This morning I was supposed to go on a hike with the girls, but getting home around 1:30am and not sleeping very well, I decided to skip and sleep in. While I was sleeping in I had a voice mail from my Irish dance teacher, and after calling her back, I agreed to take a place in one of our teams again this year at the Oireachtas (regionals). I can’t believe I’m doing this again, but the competition is up in Sacramento, so I can stay with my parents in San Francisco most likely, and only take one day off from work to drive up there. I’m amped. I think the Irish dance practices along with my half-marathon training will be a great combination. It does however, mean that I have to skip out on the LA Prostrate 5k which is a bummer.
Tonight, we are going to our friend’s house for dinner. While we were grocery shopping I picked up some food for lunch today.
The best part? There are leftovers for lunch tomorrow! 🙂 Win.
