I am Cheating on Ironman Training...

Yeah, so I am have been cheating on ironman training with my husband.  You knew it would happen eventually right?  After three tough weeks, I decided that last week would be an easy week.  It was such an easy week, that I bailed on doing a long run or a long ride.  Oops, but it was totally worth it to spend the weekend with Ken.  I mean, I still worked out, but did not do a six hour work out.

Saturday Ken took me to my favorite restaurant, Kona Grill.  It was exactly what we both needed.  A little sushi and conversation.  After Kona, we went to check out the Titanic artifacts exhibit that was at Union Station.  It was cool to see all of the items, but I was a little disappointed in the exhibit overall.  I am glad we went so that I was able to see what it was all about.  After the exhibit, Ken surprised me by taking me to Westport to go to Murray's Ice Cream.  Can you say delicious?  I got ice cream and a cookie.  Life on a Saturday does not get much better than that.

Sunday we woke up and decided to go for a walk.  I suggested taking Kya to Starbucks, since there is one that is less than a mile from our backdoor.  We sat outside and enjoyed a latte with our girl, and I reminded Ken that in just a few weeks, we can order Pumpkin Spice Lattes!  Yes, folks, Fall is getting closer!!

"I love walks and lattes"

It was such a fabulous weekend and I am so glad I took time off to spend with Ken.  It gave me a taste of what my freedom will be like in a few short weeks.  I see a weekend of me lounging on the coach watching Friends DVD's while eating cookies, cupcakes, and ice cream in my future.
