Sunday rest day 8/18

We got up relatively early with all the kids at Jenny's house and headed downtown to meet Polly and John at the Avenue for brunch.  Jackie was in town with her kids and Chandra and Mark were in town and stopped by too. 

The physical improvements to the Avenue were nice but the food wasn't that good. It wasn't cheap ($3.95 for a side of bacon in Wisconsin?!?!!) either. Michael actually sent his steak back (steak & eggs) because it was cold and there really weren't a lot of menu choices. Not like the old days. :-(

We enjoyed catching up with everyone but I was also glad to get back home relatively early too. I did some laundry and relaxed on my couch- something I truly haven't done in many months. After a few hours, I got back up to go to Edison Park to meet Tona and a few if her friends for a "final"? Dinner before the babies. It was fun chatting with everyone but when 8:15pm came around, I hit my wall and was anxious to get going to climb into bed!

I have to take my car into the shop tomorrow for a week of repairs and get to the gym after work for a 90 minute run so it's going to be a long day. I have tentative plans to meet up with Mel but we are also playing that a bit by ear...  For a taper week I still have a lot of workouts and plans and I need to do some chillaxing!!! :)
