My Weekend

On Friday night, the girls went out to celebrate Andrea's birthday which is tomorrow. We went to PF Chang's. It was delicious, as always. If you haven't tried their lettuce wraps, you are really missing out!


For dessert, we had these little "shots." They are a great idea for those of us who just want "a couple bites" of desert. Unfortunately, they weren't incredibly good. They're sure cute though, huh?


Andrea also got a free dessert for her birthday. Fried bananas and coconut ice cream. Why does everything taste so much better fried? Just because it couldn't be worse for us?

Afterward, we met up with the boys as The Steelhead for some drinks. Pictured below is me, Andrea, Robin, and Darci. The four of us have been friends since high school. Darci and Robin just recently moved back to Spokane. Slowly but surely, they all trickle back!

Katey and Eric

On Saturday, Eric and I picked up our niece, Delaney, and took her to Bee Movie. Afterward, we went to Red Robin for lunch. Here is Delaney focusing very hard on her coloring. This was the only picture she would let me take of her and she certainly was not going to smile for me! She is so freakin' cute it kills me! At the movie, I got a little glimpse of what kind of a dad Eric is going to be if we have a daughter some day. Delaney asked for popcorn and I said, "I don't think we're going to get popcorn today." With a sly little smile on her face, she said, "I do!" Right away, Eric said, "Ok, well Auntie Tiff will go get you some then." He told me he just couldn't say no to that little face. Looks like our daughters will have the same kind of relationship with Eric that I had with my dad! :)


I spent a good amout of my time training this weekend. Jessi and I decided to try upping my training time for a couple of weeks to see how I like it. I'm not usually one to toot my own horn in triathlon since I am humbled daily by all of the triathletes I hang out with, but I'm pretty damn proud of myself this week. I did not skip a single work out, which was tough. Yesterday I had an hour and a half ride followed by a 20 minute run. Of course, the GU game was on right in the middle of it which meant everyone was headed to a bar. I made the decision to stay at home and get my work out in and was really proud of myself. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best work out ever. I did not fuel my body properly and I suffered because of it.

Today I had a swim and an hour run. I was worried that since my work out sucked yesterday, it would be bad today. I went to swim this morning with Tri Fusion. I love these swims because of how hard they push me. I swam in the "fast lane" and didn't have to sit out any of the 3600 yards we swam. The best part was that I felt strong. It was a great swim with some great people!


I ran this afternoon on the Centennial Trail. It was gorgeous outside and there were a ton of people on the trail which was nice. My legs were definitely tired from yesterday. I was really happy to have my heart rate monitor to keep my pace up. It actually went by really fast. Some great music got me through it and I felt really good. I'm scared to see what Jessi has in store for me next week, but for now, I'm incredibly proud of myself. If someone would have told me a year and a half ago, that this is what I would be doing, I wouldn't have believed them!
