Here's a pic of my group from my meeting last week.. Note The Bachelor on in the background of our little room we were eating in. :)
And now for the weekend... So, proud to say I've kept up with my 5K training! Love running with the group and having accountability in my friend, Rachel, too. :) Went yesterday and got some better shoes. Mine were (1) old...actually really old and (2) whatever I'd seen that was cute/on sale. Sooo figured nicer shoes would be a better fit for my recovering back. :) Went to a couple places and ended up at the place I'm training with for the 5K! Tried on like 6 different ones with advice from the owner re my foot, etc, ran outside in them for a sec and ended up with the Mizuno Wave Alchemy 9. :) Haven't run in them yet, but looking forward to it!
Friday, Eric and I saw the movie Book of Eli... I don't give it many stars. I love Denzel and Mila, so that was a bonus, but it was pretty violent, which was not a bonus. The story was okay, but the way they carried it out was kinda "eh."Saturday, I went to lunch with mom and then shopping for some jeans for her. I think she may have tried on 30 pairs before opting for some cute ones at the Gap. :) Jeans are so hard.
Then, Sat night Eric and I tried some place he'd found through Chowhound (online) called Joyners. It's a home cooked food place. And it was SO.FREAKING.GOOD. The "buffet" (but it's not a walk through buffet.. it's cooked to order) came with two meats, three sides and a bread...oh and a dessert. Eric got smothered pork chops & catfish while I got catfish & rotisserie chicken. And the owner sat and talked with us for awhile.. super nice retired gentleman. :) I highly recommend if you're in the Tulsa area... :) It's off 21st and Memorialish in a shopping center. :)
Eric before we started eating.. aka before we had to be rolled out of there. Good thing I'm running these days.. haha.. :)
Spent some of Sunday at work...yeehaw.. but overall a really good weekend! Productive, fun, low key... The only thing that didnt get done was cleaning my apt.. and wow does it need it. *head hung in shame*Okay peeps hope your week is off to a good start!

So proud of you for the marathon thing!
Glad your Mom found her non-old person jeans (re: Twitter on Saturday).
And yay for homecooked down home fattening food that should be served with a heart defibulator on the side, so delicious! ;)
Good job on the running! I'll be starting that back up this spring at some point and I'm already excited about it. And, I LOVE Mizunos...they've been my running shoe for 4 years now and I have no complaints!

That's great about your running. I've always admired runners, but can't for the life of me get into it. I loathe it with every ounce of my being!
Glad you had a good weekend! My husband would have LOVED that restaurant...anything that involves insane amounts of food is a-okay in his book!
Great job on the running! Glad you had a fun weekend :)
Been there with my mama too. Jeans shopping is no joke! You're motivating to get off my arse and back on the exercise bandwagon. Dec/Jan has been a wash so far. EEEK!
