Ran 2.3 miles in 31 minutes. Uphill. In the VERY COLD wind. The plus side? The last six blocks were downhill. Sammy kept pace very well and didn't complain once. And the even bigger plus side? Weight Watchers gives me 4 activity points for my run. That's a small serving of steak. Which is exactly what I had for dinner, along with the sweet nectar of life, Abita beer on tap at the amazing restaurant that opened up in our neighborhood. We had a sweet dinner with some Mississippi friends - southern transplants just like us - and I tell you what, it was made even sweeter knowing that those 4 little points meant I could have a beer with dinner. Shit. I could have a beer, and eat a few fries (with truffle mayonaise!) and have my little steak, and some butternut squash gnocchi, and come home to a scoop of Starbucks mocha almond fudge ice cream. Okay, I went over my points today. I confess. But I kept to my promise of running five out of seven days and tomorrow morning when I fold myself into a bus seat, I will not feel guilty for sleeping in while I'm in the city, or for staying indoors and conserving energy before I sing for....those people.
