Thumbs up to a pretty great weekend!
I had a fun packed weekend filled with some great food, good company and the kickoff of race season.
Friday Charlie and I went with our friends S&A to ING.  
Saturday we went and bottled our Valentine’s Day Wine.   I then made a quick trip out to see my mom so I could get back to the city for our 6 PM reservation at Glimpse.   The food was delicious and the cocktails even better.  Our 6pm reservation worked out well because I had to be in bed early for the Shamrock Shuffle. 
Today I laced up my running shoes for my first race of the season.   It went worse than expected.  I knew I was under trained but didn’t expect the heat and the crowds.  I was thirsty by mile 1.  And then, I was cruising along and got pushed and fell.  The lady behind me fell into me because she was pushed by someone trying to get around her.  I was fine..mine was more of a stumble but she ended up with a bloody knee/leg.  I felt bad and walked with her for a bit.  She ended up going to the aid station at mile 3.  After our collision I couldn’t get my heart rate down and every time I would run it would shoot up.  So it wasn’t my best race by far.  I could have done better and I probably should have pushed, but I didn’t.  
I have lots of regrets but in the end, I got up, got out of bed, laced up my shoes and went for a run with 32,400 other people today. 
Double Thumbs up for effort!
After the race, I headed with S (of S&A) to a bridal shower for one of our friends.  It was a lovely shower and the bride to-be was glowing.  It was just a really great day.
