Yes, that is a tower of ice cream...yep, seperated by brownie/cookie layers.

Inside one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been to. Carnivale was host to Oprah's cast party for the Color Purple and the wrap party for The Dark Knight!

Well, this morning's alarm was unstoppable. It just kept going off, every 9 minutes. I didn't even hear it the first 18 minutes, and then all of a sudden it's 5:50 and I'm still staring at the clock! Whew, got out of bed, peeled an orange, brushed the teeth, laced up the kicks, slapped on the visor and me and the Garmin hit the road. The clouds were billowing up really high and all kinds of cool contrasting colors, I really love seeing the sun come up! The park was beautiful, the grass was wet, the trail was nice and off I was for 5 miles. A really sweaty shirt/short combo later and 5 miles were done, plus a .7 cool down. It felt good and wasn't too bad. Don't love the blister on my foot, but I cannot blame the brand spankin' new kicks! They are too new and too expensive! Anyway today's run recap is over.

here's a few pics of the past few happenings:) (see above)
