3 miles and legs

Decided to stick to the treadmill again today despite the fact that it wasn't raining out. Its nicer to my knees and once again, with a long run on the schedule for Sunday... well... I just want to be nice to my knees as much as possible. They did ache a bit yesterday, probably fromt he lack of padding in the non-running shoes I ran in on Tuesday.

I kept my pace right around 10m/m (6mph) jumping up to 6.2 and 6.5 for some pushes. My iPod kept me company straped firmly, but comfortably, to my arm. After I was done running I went downstairs did some squats, wall-squats on the physio ball, lunges and abs work. My legs were BURNING and I imagine I'll feel it tomorrow.

Dinner last night was FABULOUS, we shared 2 appetizers (4 people) seared bacon wrapped scallops and an heirloom tomato and motzarella salad (YUM to both) then we all shared a caesar salad that was made with whole spears of romaine so we ate it with our fingers! (FUN!) I had wasabi crusted salmon (MELTED in my mouth) and topped it off with coffee and a chocolate torte so rich I could only eat a couple of bites.

I love restaurants in Portland... no matter how "fancy" they are, they are hardly ever pretentious. Ah well, dinner was on the house as we were dining with the owner, and it doesn't get any better than that!
