Weekly Wins Time! A look back at what made last week a great one…
1. This weekend I was in Austin for the Bachelorette party of one of my best friends from college, Julia. Here’s a pic of where we stayed. It was perfect, we had our own little compound, complete with 3 mini houses and a pool in the middle (unfortch it was a bit too cold to swim, but pretty to look at).
2. On Saturday we went ziplining at Lake Travis Zipline Adventure Center. This activity took us about an hour outside of downtown Austin and was super fun. A perfect day-time activity for a bachelorette weekend if you ask me! Pretty views, fun people, what more could you ask for?
3. Here’s a pic from inside the massive and amazing Whole Foods, which started in Austin. There was a cool beer fridge you could go into but more importantly than that, there was also a huge bulk food section that blew my mind (but I apparently forgot to take a picture). I’d move to Austin just to go to the Whole Foods daily.
4. When in Texas, do as the Texans do…so I had a Michelada, one of my favorite (although quite random) drinks, which is sort of like a bloody mary with beer. It’s not for everyone, but I love ‘em. The two best Michelada’s I’ve had were this one, and one I had in Dallas so this drink is a must-order any time I’m in Texas (not often).
5. You know I love running in different cities so on Sunday I headed out for an easy 3-miler and was pleasantly surprised that so many people wanted to join!
6. And of course, I can’t give you Weekly Wins without throwing in a mention of the NYC Marathon which is THIS SUNDAY! Much more on that later, but for now, a piece of exciting news is that I was selected (along with my fellow runner Brittany) to be in the VIP Fan Zone for the ABC-7 morning show. Not exactly sure what this involves but it DOES involve hanging out in a heated tent with free coffee and food until 9am on race day. Considering the low is currently projected at 37 degrees, this is really great news. More on that lil marathon coming your way later this week.
