5 miles and Bar Louie

Saturday, March 22.  Today I managed to do two things I haven't before.  Given my increased business with golf, it was nice to be able to do a couple of never before experienced things.  Otherwise, my day was great.  The sun was shining, and it was warmer than they said it would be, and I was in a positive, light, and good mood all day.

The first thing I did after work was go to the gym and run a full 5 miles on the treadmill.  It took me 56 minutes and 50 seconds.  It felt great to run the distance that I know I'll have to run on the 30th.  The race is also just a week away so the timing is working out great.  I think that I'll take a day off tomorrow, and run the same 5 miles (hopefully faster each time, but whatever) Monday through Friday of next week.  I'll take Saturday off to rest my body, and run a good race on Sunday.  Excellent!

The second new thing today was eating dinner at a place called Bar Louie downtown.  I've known about the place for probably a year now but never made it over.  I really liked it.  Rick said that the original is in Chicago and very popular and I can see why.  Kind of a sports bar but a little nicer.  Slightly more mature crowd and good atmosphere.  Not too loud, not too stuffy.  We shared a Philly burger, which was really very good, and mac and cheese.  A perfect dinner.  Not the healthiest, but very tasty.  I will be back, that's for sure.

I hope you are all doing well.  I have all of you in my thoughts everyday and wish that you all are happy, healthy, and living your dreams.  Until tomorrow, good night.  I am sleepy!
