We had an eventful weekend.

Saturday, I ran the 5K TX Roundup. I treated it like a tempo run and managed to hold HMGP. Being sick earlier in the week put a damper on PR plans. I then helped out at a WAWA registration. Finally around noon I got to head home to get cleaned up and go Houston.

On the way to Houston we witnessed a very scary car accident. A drunk driver, with an illegal weapon, and the VIN scratched off of his truck, pulled out in front of this poor lady. She had 3 kids in the car. We were right behind her. I was asleep ( I don't know how I managed to fall asleep before we even got to Bastrop). I woke-up as Chris was slamming on the brakes, I did't see any part but the aftermath. After about an hour we were told we could go.

We stayed at a very fancy Hilton. Our room was bigger than some apartments I've lived in. We had a nice Sushi dinner. The place we went to Lychee martini's. These we soooo good, it hard to only just drink one. We got dessert at Whole Foods and watched Jack Ass. Actually Chris watched JA, I fell asleep. I've decided JA is where stupid frat boys go to die. You guessed it I'm not a fan.

We ran around Rice on Sunday morning, before we went to the HMFA. HMFA is the only city to get some of New York Met's French paintings while they are remodeling. It was VERY crowded, but worth it. We need to go back and see the rest of HMFA.

I have a VERY full day today. Seriously, I'm subbing, teaching lessons, and coaching runners.

I haven't felt well all week. I don't feel great this morning. I do not feel like racing a 5K. I feel like going for a slow long run. I'm trying to figure out what to do. I really wanna blow off the race and run on the trail. I paid for the race though. Maybe I could do a longer warm-up (2 miles), run the race at MGP, then a 2 mile cooldown. That would give me 7 miles and a nice sense of accomplishment without puking.

I also have a lot of things to do before we leave for Houston. Which I'm trying not to think about. I have to "race" a 5k and help out at WAWA registration this morning. Then we're gonna have Wich Wich for lunch, maybe get a cherry limeaide for the road and off we go. Where in Lagrange is this famed bakery I keep hearing about?

We're going to Houston for a nice overnight trip. We're staying at a nice hotel near Rice. Sushi and sake will be consumed. The Met exhibit at the HMFA will be seen. Maybe a visit to the Zoo, too. I'm sure we'll see a few cars on fire, people driving with their hazards on, and anything else those crazy drivers in Houston do. Hopefully we'll have quality time in the pool and hot tub, too. I'm so excited about this weekend.
