if i was a downton abbey character.

A Monday with a rainbow!

Anthony and I spotted this lucky sign on our way back from the gym this morning. I’m taking it light on the running front this week (still post-race resting) and enjoying some cross-training instead!

Over the weekend I did get in a couple nice jogs, though. Starting with a PR Bandits outing on Saturday!

Anthony and I drove out to Percy Warner park to meet the group at 8 am, but then left too late and took a wrong turn and arrived about 15 minutes late. So… we missed the group :(. But, we still did the route as a “club” of two!

We ran around the Belle Meade neighborhood, which is full of gorgeous trees and ginormous houses. I stopped and imagined that I owned this massive estate, Downton Abbey-style. Because in Downton days, ladies wore spandex and ponytails if you didn’t know.

We covered about eight miles in total. Felt good to get out there again!

Not only was Saturday’s weather warm enough to run in a t-shirt… it was also warm enough to uncover the grill. Feeling fishy?

We thawed out some baramundi, marinated it in some lemon/olive oil/herbs, and tossed it atop the flames. Stacked into a towering sandwich that was only a few centimeters shorter than the Belle Meade mansions.

and paired with an episode of Brooklyn 99. After the madness of last weekend’s travels, it was nice to chill out on our couch this past weekend and do nothing.

And now, we’ve got to start gearing up for the madness of Thanksgiving! We’re hosting about 20 people at our house this year and are hoping that our turkey-carving skillz are still sharp. Flashback to the intense turkey artistry of 2013…

Hope you’re having a lucky day!
