HB Half and a PR!!

Super Bowl weekend I spent a sunny few days in Huntington Beach, CA with my friend (and past roomie) Joram (aka, Major).  We went down on Friday night and went straight to the hotel in Anaheim. Sweet suite! Two bedroom, two bathroom- with laundry. I was ready to move in.  Went looking for some food and found ourselves at Red Robin because it was close and we were starving.  Picked up some snack from Target after and headed back to chill. 

Saturday morning we got up pretty early and went for a run to Disneyland. Yes, we were that close.  Just a quick two miles and got ready to sit in traffic on our way to the expo.  I had a mini freak out when I didn't see my name on the list of numbers outside the expo tent. The expo was crowded as expected so we bailed pretty quick and went to find more food. 

The rest of the day was pretty low key, made some spaghetti at the hotel, watched part of the Disneyland fireworks from the roof and tried to head to bed early.    Sunday we were up 4:45am and off to find parking. We decided to park at the high school and take the shuttle, and luckily it worked out really well.  Once at the race start we were able to find my Aunt Linda pretty quickly and she graciously held our bags for us while we ran.

And oh, what a run it was!! I finally broke two hours with a 1:57:41, and kept a pretty consistent pace the entire time. Woohoo!! Joram also had a PR, of about 8 and a half minutes. Sweet day for us.  Until after the race we spent about an hour trying to find each other. And once we did, we went for more food :)

After the race we hit the pool and the hot tub at the hotel for a bit and then headed to Bar Louie for some more food (I swear we at the entire weekend!!!) and some drinks.  Delish!!! And the Steelers didnt' win. Woohoo!! 

Monday we headed to Newport Beach for some sun.  And naturally, I got a bit burned.  We hung out at the beach for a couple hours, tried driving down to Laguna Beach, but since we hadn't researched beforehand we had no idea what we were going for or where. Oops.. Oh, and did I mention that Joram revoked my navigator status Saturday morning? I wasn't allowed to give directions without using the google maps app on his phone. Which, I of  course promptly downloaded. And now I will never be lost again. Riiiiightt.

Monday night we went up to Koreatown in LA to meet Joram's best friend Adam for his birthday dinner. OMG. Korean BBQ... so yum. I don't eat a lot of meat, but I think from now on when I do it will be at an all you can eat Korean bbq.  And then on to Yogurtland (yes, YogurtLAND, not ville, place, town, or city as Joram kept referring to it as.

Tuesday before we headed to the airport we had to go for Inn-n-Out burger. It wouldn't be a trip to Cali without it!  Mmmmm.
