Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I hope this happy time is spent with family, much laughing, and good wine and treats.   I am in San Antonio for the next couple of days celebrating the holidays with my family. My Grandma and Aunt drove down from El Paso so it will be very nice to relax and get to see them!

    Merry Christmas!

Carb Load

Friday J and I drove (well I rode, J drove) to San Antonio to stay with my parents since my dad and I are running the Rock and Roll Half Marathon on Sunday.

Of course, we had to make to obligatory Buc-ee's stop in Luling to use the amazing restrooms and snag an ICEE for the road. Have you ever been to a Buc-ee's? It's a gas station on crack. And a beaver is their signature mascot. You can get some seriously awesome items there, whether its food or a T-shirt or a stained glass window (yep, I said it).

When we got to my parents home, we went straight to Olive Garden for some pre-race carb loading. (Sorry- no picture was taken. I was too busy eating breadsticks talking with my family.) I could eat at Olive Garden every day. Sign me up for soup, salad and breadsticks anytime.
