Food makes my world go round.

Hi Everyone!
I missed seeing all of you on Saturday. Is there any chocolate left? I was only able to run about 7 miles on Saturday morning - this required me to hit the road at 4:30 so I could be at the drill hall by 7 a.m. Too tired to do it again on Sunday. My left knee keeps locking up on me nowadays, and it hurt when I tried to run on the treadmill Saturday afternoon, so I just called it a day on the running.
The perk of the weekend for me was getting a chance to watch Iron Chef! (For those of you who don't know, I don't have cable at home.) Mario Battali and another chef who was the champion. Mario won with some exotic dishes. Then there was Emeril. Why I do this to myself, I don't know. I think I shouted "Bam"! in my sleep a few times.
The downside was the Family Day picnic. The chicken, burgers and maybe the hotdogs were not cooked through. People had to stand in line for an hour just to get a burger that was done. It was crazy. I ended up eating the lettuce, tomato and pickles alone. My Father, who was there, and having been a cook in the Army for 20 years, just shook his head. He and my Stepmother left early to go to the Commissary. I snuck out a couple of hours after.

I must go grocery shopping now. I guess it isn't so good that I am starving. Thank goodness my group run is tomorrow!
