Holy smokes, I’m excited! Recently I found out that my celebrity food idol ~ Giada
de Laurentiis ~ is coming to the Allentown Wegmans (grocery store) for a book
signing.
Her new cookbook “Weeknights
with Giada” is being released on March 27th and she will be here to
autograph copies on the 29th.
Therefore, the Lehigh Valley is one of her first stops on the book
tour.
Bottom line - I REALLY want to meet her, so here’s the plan… The vouchers will
be available this coming Monday at 9am at the store. Since that is obviously school time, I will be sending my
retired father, coffee in hand, to pick up the voucher for me. With a little bit of bribing, plus a
bottle of wine, he said he would do it.
Granted…he hasn’t a clue who Giada even is!
I will let you know the verdict on Monday…keep your
fingers (and toes) crossed!
On the
running front -- Last night after school I did the longest run (distance-wise) since I
started training again…9 miles.
For me, it’s very hard to get into “long run motivation mode” after a
day in the classroom, but it was unseasonably warm outside (61 degrees when I left my house at 4:00 pm) and it felt
good.
It's always a pleasant surprise when I end up running faster than I set out to do, covering nine in 1:08. I finished up the final mile in 7:08.
After stretching and walking a bit, I came inside and poured myself a nice glass of chocolate milk prior to hitting the shower.
Tomorrow I am going to aim for a 5 -6 mile
progression run. For the rest of
the week? My plan is to take off
on Friday, an easy 5 on Saturday, and then a mile repeat/tempo workout with
Jesse on Sunday.
Have a great Thursday!
Tracy
