Yogurt's organic isn't it?

This weekend, my brother-in-law came to visit us from Chicago. We always have a great time together, partly because my daughters love hanging out with him, and also because we eat out a lot and eat well. We ate so well, that Lisa and I temporarily fell off the healthy food wagon for the weekend. Let's see what we had this weekend: authentic Japanese food (Tajima 2), Hawaiian BBQ (L&L, love the macaroni salad), vietnamese food (pho), New York Bagels and cream cheese, and authentic Taiwanese food (Tea Station). Oh, and I should mention that we had frozen yogurt . . . 3 days in a row! Frozen yogurt places are the latest fad in San Diego. You walk into one of these shops and it's all self-serve. First, you choose from 15-20 flavors of frozen yogurt. Next, you pick any toppings you want, from fruit, to flavored syrups, to candy, and even cereal. Finally, you bring your cup to the cash register and they charge you by the ounce. Most places are 38 cents an ounce. For my daughters, knowing that we are going there for dessert is a great incentive for them because it means that if they don't finish their dinner, they aren't going to get any dessert. I think it goes without saying that they all got dessert each night!

This afternoon, my brother-in-law left for Chicago and so did our food splurge for the weekend. When we got home, I watched the Chargers fight valiantly to overcome playing without their top offensive and defensive weapons, L.T. and Merriman. In the end, it wasn't meant to be, but hats off to them this season for playing their hearts out and making the most of their season!

After the game, since my knee was feeling fine after a day of rest, I decided to go out for a very quick run. I ran a 3 mile loop and caught a beautiful picture of sunset/dusk on the way home. My knee felt okay and I didn't start to feel anything until the last quarter mile. Here are the stats for the run:

3 miles, 28:35 time, 9:32/mile

We'll see how things are tomorrow. If everything feels good, my plan is to ramp up in anticipation of starting my official 18 week marathoning training next week!
