Happy Father's Day!

And a good Sunday morning to all of you out there! My day started with the gym for a cardio work out from 6-7. I spent 25 minutes on a stair master, elliptical thing and then went to a treadmill to run a little more than a mile and then a quarter mile-ish sprint. I have made a pact with my best friend Brit to train for a half marathon, even if I never actually enter one. She is hopefully (fingers crossed!) coming to visit in mid august and we are planning to go on a few runs and hikes together when she visits. SO, we are going to try to run 10-15 miles by the time she gets here. I know absolutely nothing about training for a half marathon but my mini plan is to try and increase my mileage by one mile every week. with the hope to be ready for about 10 miles or so by late august. We'll see.

Anyway, it is Fathers day! I am a WAYS away from my dad today but I tried to call this morning (no success :(  ) and sent a nice text. I'm assuming the family is out to brunch for the morning and I will hear back sometime later today. I really miss going out to brunch. It is definitely the best meal you can go out to. Anything goes. Whether you're in the mood for a smoked salmon and caper bagel, or prime rib, or cupcakes and other pastries, or you're like me and in the mood for all three, no one is going to judge! Anything from belgian waffles to steak and potatoes goes at brunch. Think about that next time you're somewhere in between meals on a Sunday and don't know where your tummy wants to take you. Most places have decently priced Sunday brunch buffets unless its a holiday.

OH! and while we are on the topic of brunch, at some point in your life, make sure to get to a Brazilian buffet called a Churrascaria. They serve pineapple juice which helps break down all the delicious meat they bring around to you so you can eat more food! Hey, if you're going to go out to eat, go hard. When I eat bad food, it's not eating a sandwich with chips. It's a cheeseburger and fries with ice cream for desert. There are pleasures in life like pizza and brownies that should be enjoyed. But not every week, certainly not ever day. But once in a while, go for it!

This is a little taste of what the Churrascaria is like. People in big gaucho pants bring you spears of meat. It's amazing. If you're like me, and are a complete carnivore, this is the place to be!

Until next time everyone! And remember, be thankful for your dad today!
