This morning Steve and I headed downtown to participate (notice I did not say "run") in the Donna 5K. As you can see, it was a little chilly. Also as you can see, we made a new friend, mainly because she was handing out free Chick Fil A chicken and biscuit sandwiches. Since we hadn't had breakfast, the sandwich seemed like an excellent idea. And since it was free, it was basically a no-brainer. And so we had our sandwiches and waited for the race to start.
It's a great 5K. It's for a great cause (all the money goes to the Mayo Clinic, which is making great strides in breast cancer treatments and cures). The participants are supporting survivors, and many are survivors themselves. There's a lot of pink and today there were several cute costumes (not me) because they had a costume contest. The course is not too bad - there is a big hill at the start and a steeper one closer to the end, but it's a very scenic course along the water. Eventually we finished and got our medals and then decided to do what? Go eat, of course! Never mind the free Chick Fil A sandwich - that was pre-race fuel-loading!
Anyhow, we head to the Fox Restaurant, where we have also been once before, and got in line (yes, there was a line and yes, we were in it). We had a nice chat with the family of four waiting before us, and then went before them when the Fox Dude said there was space for two at the bar and did anybody want them? It ended up being a great place to eat because I could watch the cook make the food. I had the Hawaii 5-0 omelet (ham, pineapple, onions) and Steve had the french toast and eggs breakfast. At this point, I think I will just start over with Weight Watcher points on Monday - do you get a break when you're on vacation?
Steve is going to play golf this weekend and I am going to read or nap or something. Tonight we're going to dinner with Kitty and Ray and make it an early night. There is a lot to accomplish tomorrow!
