Molly, Yoga, and Holiday Run Streak!


This week Little Molly came to visit. The perfect excuse to take some time off of work and eat at all my favorite restaurants. Monday we spent the whole day walking around Denver and hanging out. We hit up Snooze for breakfast that morning, and the menu had changed and we didn’t even order the pancakes! The new menu had a French toast we had to try: “Ichabod Crane's French Toast  Pumpkin and mascarpone stuffed brioche griddled and topped with roasted chile maple syrup, candied pumpkin seeds, crushed ginger snaps and lemony whipped cream.” Then we walked over to Symmetry Massage and Spa for massages. I thought our massage therapists did a great job! And, they had heated beds! As soon as I got into it, I was like: “Oooh, is this bed heated?!” On our way there we passed a cute little tea shop, so after the massages we stopped in for a pot of oolong tea. It turns out that tea shop is also a green auto repair shop! It was super cool and the tea was delicious. Then we walked to the 16th Street mall and did a little bit of shopping, then headed toward the Nature and Science museum. (We got halfway there and gave up, so we stopped for espressos instead). Then we went to the gym for powersculpt and yoga! Tuesday we were so sore from all that walking followed by a workout! After yoga we went to DBAR for some garlic Parmesan fries and a cake and shake. Liz convinced us we should also get some crème brulee. It was all amazing! They were probably the best fries I’ve ever eaten, and I cant wait to go back for more delicious desserts! Tuesday we went to Watercourse for dinner and has Buffalo Seitan Wings, then we cooked Thanksgiving dinner for Wednesday. Wednesday was the Thanksgiving potluck at work, I brought cream puffs that Molly whipped up, and everyone loved it! Then Wednesday night Liz and Lupita came over for dinner and we had some transitional Thanksgiving goodness!
Thanksgiving day started the Runner’s World Holiday Run Streak! I’m going to run at least one mile, every day from Thanksgiving to New Years! Thanksgiving I had a good 5 miles run in Wash Park, then today I managed 2.6
When Molly was here we got to talking a lot about yoga. I brought her to the class at my gym which is a vinyasa flow class. I’m ready to start branching out and trying new yogas though, so this week I bought a groupon deal for a yoga studio downtown. I’m also going to go to the classes at my gym more too, to continue strengthening my practice. I’ve been going there for about a year now, and I never thought I would enjoy yoga so much!
