McGuire's

Well, the packers left early and I was able to go to McGuire's for the run tonight. I was happy about that, as I do enjoy it. I like running with Jen a lot! Unfortunately she wasn't feeling it tonight and we went pretty slowly. That's not a problem for me. When we got to Seville Quarter (almost halfway) we got a cup of water. (The past few weeks when it has been ridiculously hot, SQ sets up a table of water and hands cups out to the McGuire's runners. Pretty cool!) We walked for a while. Then we started running again. By the time we had turned off Alcaniz (the 2.5 ish mile point), Jen was just not having any more. She said she was going to walk and that I should go ahead. I told her I'd stay with her, but she would have none of that. So off I went. I surprised myself, as I was able to go a lot faster than I thought. It felt good!

I ran 3.16 miles in 34:20 for an average pace of 10:53. Splits: 10:46, 11:43, 10:26, 1:26 (=9:14 pace).

We decided to go to the Wine Bar for our after party. I got the special. Since our waitress was busy, the chef seated us and told us the specials. She recognized me and we were able to modify my tapas so I could eat it. I had a black velvet apricot stuffed with goat cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette drizzled on top. It was quite good. Pretty small, but good. I didn't want to order anything else, but I was hungry when I got home. Good thing there was leftover pizza. Better thing that I didn't indulge again like last night.
