First of all, I have to commend Ali on her first Marathon ! I thought of her several times while I was running the halfhonestly I was kind of happy not to be running the full which I briefly considered at the beginning of the season. Lauren also has a great recap .
Here are a few outtakes that I didn’t include in my first post:
Our fuel. Yes, I brought 10 gus. I used 1 on the run.
My DeterminNation singlet- I pinned on a “in honor of mom and dad” ribbon during the run.
After the race, we considered going to the party at Talkhouse , but decided we wanted to chill at the beach and avoid an very expensive cab trip. Confession, I really just wanted to go to Talkhouse because they mention it so many times in the embarrassingly chick lit book now movie Something Borrowed.
The ocean ended up treating me well.
For a celebration dinner, we went to Dave’s Grill . This place was highly recommended. In fact, it’s so popular that it only takes day of reservations starting at 4:15PM. We called non-stop until we got through and the earliest reservation was 10PM!
It didn’t disappoint however!
Wine!
Arancini Risotto Balls with Chipotle Aioli
For my mains, I got the chopped salad: celery, chickpeas, cucumber, tomato and feta!
And mussels with basil and tomato
Frank got the stuffed half lobster–a feast of clam, mussel, shrimp, scallop and sweet lobster.
And for dessert, the mini barbara–just enough and not too much as the waitress said.
It was a delicious meal and we crashed hard when we got home.
I was sad that work obligations for both of us meant we had to cut our vacation short and leave early the next day when the sun was shining!
At least the Jitney ride back gave me a chance to see more of the Hamptons. Amaganesett was particularly lovely. It has beautifully landscaped homes and amazing shopping. I kept my eye out for Physique, Exhale and such on the way home and I did see Flywheel!
As short as the weekend was, it was very nice. I should thank Running Away , the company I booked my hotel and shuttle through!
Running Away is a company that helps runners coordinate almost every aspect of race travel for out of town events! Working with Matt was fabulous and saved me some money too. Check them out for sure.
