Survived Valentines Day

Well things are good training is light and i have a bit of recovery this week before i go into another build progresson next week. It worked out perfect because Carley is in town. My legs are starting to forgive me for the last 5 weeks and a i can finally restock some glycogen. Yesterday was Valentines day and i have had a lot of people ask me what i planned. So here is what i did, i booked Carley a day at the spa in Southlake while i was at work getting some things done, i had a good swim with fast, except a late night with airport and travel i was a bit tired, but that is what coffee is for. Anyway's Erica told me to book in South Lake, and i got a good deal on a Valentines day package, Carley has never had a massage so i knew she would enjoy that. I was a bit scared when i saw a lambo and a new ferrari in this shopping town square but the prices were good. I couldnt belive this place, good thing Carley didnt have too much time to wonder around and get lost in the Coach or Gucci stores, i recon i saw about 200 stores i couldnt afford to buy anything at. Anyways Carley was happy and i got some work done at work between driving her around to places. I dont get to see her very often as she is in school and i am in the sunny south. "god bless Texas" i am not religous but God bless the weather, and i will join any religion if it lets me ride in shorts and a jersey the rest of the winter. Back to Valentines day, after her day at the spa, we went to Catina Laredo a very upscale Mexican food place down town, it was a nice walk and over 70degrees, and they were booked up but managed to sqeak in for some chips and queso(Carleys Favorite) i had some great soup as well there. I think they were mad because we were in and out for 15bucks not 150-200 like everyone else spends there, chips and hot sause come to the table a couple of diet cokes and a soup and we were out cheap. Then we went to a comedy club called Hiyanas and it is a big club like YUk Yuks and features people from HBO and big comedians. Anyways i signed up and got a deal early on a package that got us a special seating a rose for Carley Champagne and a couple of chocolate roses. Anyways the story is it was supposed to be at the Club near my place but they moved the show, and asked if i would drive 20mins to Arlington where they were moving the show to, i agreed and got a killer deal. So a good night of laughing and Carley got a rose and a strawberry and i planned a wicked day. It wasnt a late night and i didnt consume 3,000 calories like i predicted was going to happen if i went out for a big meal and stonecold iceream. Our plan was to go out for a light dinner in arlington since we had an appitizer early but, long story short ended up eating an apple. Carley is going to kill me whe she sees the pic i put on here, but the other pics are on her Camera. Okay the long story short was she went to pet a horse and carrage and the horse freaked so did Carley and a quick change of clothes and we were off. Anyways a good night and i feel good today so the ounce of champagne probably didnt have any booze in it. If anyone needs ideas on how to plan a valentines day i am thinking about starting a business for next year. It was Cheap and a great time, and i dont feel bad about what i consumed. A few buddies of mine that went out at 9pm Itilian meals are hurting today so what can you do.
Anyways tonight some piliates and recovery, i think Carley has a big night of going to see a chick flick so i am scared. Sorry to any male triathletes that read this. This was more for the people that thought i couldnt plan a cheap Valentines day for under 100bucks.
Thanks for reading, have a good weekend and stay healthy, burn some chocolate off this weekend the weather looks to be reasonable.
