Today was an all-around GOOD Saturday!

Workout
After breakfast and apartment hunting, I hit the gym for a quickie 30-minute run on the treadmill. I didn’t have much time to exercise this afternoon, so I made sure to push myself for the entire duration. So, by the end of 30 minutes, I was winded and completely drenched in sweat. It was awesome!
I covered 3.35 miles in 30 minutes.

Dog Park
Once I finished my sweaty run, I showered-up, dressed, and headed to the park with Mal and Murphy to meet Dave, Marie, and their dogs for some puppy playtime.
The dogs had a blast running around at the park!

The humans did too!

Mal and Murphy played “chase” at the park for a good 20 minutes!


I’m glad that my guys got their exercise in for the day!



It had a really fun day with my boys!

Snack
We left the park around Happy Hour time, so we cracked-open a bottle of Bourbon County Stout when we arrived at Dave and Marie’s house. I’m not a huge dark beer fan, but this one is delicious! It’s dark and dense with thick foam and flavors of chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. It’s a great sipping beer.

I enjoyed a small pour and savored it slowly.

I also munched on a few chips and dip while chatting in the kitchen with my husband and our friends.

Dinner
For dinner tonight, the four of us decided to make chili. Mmm!

We also baked some cornbread to have with the meal.

My bowl + cornbread.

After dinner, we sat around and played Cribbage like the old folks that we are– actually, it’s a really fun game!

Murphy passed out from exhaustion after some serious playing at the park.

Like all good meals, tonight’s ended with a yummy dessert: Cookie Brownie Bars!

Brownie + cookie = best of both worlds!
Of course, I just had to have one of these delectable treats, but I stopped myself before I got carried away. Usually, I’d eat a second or third bar, but just one did the trick tonight.

Heading to bed soon and sleeping LATE tomorrow morning!
Good night, blog friends!
