I spent this past weekend in the cities. Friday night my sister had a bunch of our relatives who were in town over. We were able to meet my cousin's baby girl for the first time and she is oh so adorable and teeny. Saturday afternoon was spent in down town Mpls taking in a bit of the Famous Dave's BBQ and Blues Festival. It was free (the music), fun, and a great day to get in a bit of sun! If you like Blues, here's a few of my favorite groups from the day to check out .... Willie West, Big Jay McNeely, and The Brass Kings.
Saturday night was spent at my cousin's high school graduation open house. It was fun to see everyone.
After returning home from a fun-filled weekend in the cities today, I was exhausted and had no desire to do anything. Nada.
But, I had to.
I went out for a nice walk through the neighborhood and enjoyed the stroll by checking out some of the neighborhood houses for sale.
The streak lives on and here's what it looks like so far.....

Despite all the crap I ate this past week (don't make me list it), I ate a lot of good stuff too and was able to lose a couple lb's. Goal for this week is to not add the weight on and try to drop a bit more!
Now, it's time to take in game 2. GO CELTICS!

Like Riding a Rollercoaster
For those of you who have followed my posts regularly, you may have somewhat of an idea as to what the weather has been like here in the past 3 weeks or so. Let's just recap a bit.
March 17: Gloomy and rainy. The temp was barely in the 30's.
March 18: The temp was 44 when I got home from work. The sun was shining and almost all of the snow was gone. I was able to take advantage of the nicer weather and run outside.
March 21: 3 days later and this is what we got. 7+ inches of snow and I was afraid I wasn't going to make it home for Easter.
March 28-30: In the cities and the temps were in the 40's... nice enough for jeans and sweatshirts. Ditch the winter jacket, right?
April 2: 47 degrees and a nice 3 mile run outdoors. yep. getting warmer. Spring is here?!
April 3: 56 degrees and a 9 miler ... tank top and pants. 'nuff said.
Today ... April 6th: We're under a Winter Weather Advisory. Blech. It's 30 degrees, and this is what it looks like right now ...
I am so stinkin' sick of this rollercoaster ride of weather! But that didn't stop me from getting to the gym. It just took me longer to get there. I hit up the pool, shooting for a nice 45 minutes and was able to pull off a swim better and longer then evah before!! It felt soooo good!
OSN: 1800M
45:00
(2:30min./100M)
wu - 4x50M, 1 min/RI
2x100M, 1 min/RI
400M, 1 min/RI
1000M
no cool down
Afterwards, I was planning on getting on the bike for a half hour. But all the good bikes were taken. I didn't want to wait 20 minutes for a good bike, so instead I got on the thrillmill and walked a good 20 minutes ... with some hills.
OWN: 1.2 miles
20 minutes
Now, it's time to clean my apartment. I have some errands to run and I am starting to think that I should have done that yesterday.
