It was a warm and sunny weekend in SF and we had a good time hanging out at home with the windows open.   I must be somewhat rested because this morning I woke up at 5:55 am without the alarm and I was wide awake.  Too bad this had to go to waste because I have the day off today!!  Wooo!

Here’s the weekend roundup:

On Saturday, I got up early to go for a run.  I’m trying to break in my new running shoes before next weekend’s race and it’s been giving me some problems.  My left foot starts to fall asleep after about 2 miles of running.  Not good.  So, I stopped at 3 miles and it happened to be at the Farmer’s Market where I picked up a bunch of dahlias.  Aw…so purty.

For lunch that day, we drove 45 minutes to Liou’s House in Milpitas to meet up with some friends to have this elusive soup called Buddha Jump Over the Wall.  This soup takes a day to prepare (you have to call ahead to order) and it’s made with a bunch of stuff like shark fin, abalone, and other stuff that I didn’t recognize.  Regardless, it was pretty good but I’m not sure that if I were Buddha that it would make me want to “jump over the wall” to have meat.  Apparently that’s why it’s named that.  We also had a grip of other items for the 10 of us to share around the table and poor Jes had to drive home with food coma.

On Sunday, I went for another run in the morning – it sucked again.  Then around noon, I went out for ANOTHER run but just threw in some hills to see if it would make the buzzing in my left foot go away.  Nope.  No luck.  Hm…what to do?  I may have to run the half marathon next weekend in my old shoes.

Afterward, I decided to treat myself to some mango sticky rice.  On our way home from lunch Saturday, we stopped at 99 Ranch and got some ripe juicy mangoes.  So I whipped up my momma’s coconut rice recipe and that’s basically what we had for lunch.

At 5 pm, we headed over to Pete’s to watch the Lakers get whooped by the Celtics.  It was a sad sad evening for us.  We’ll be back for Game 3 on Tuesday but it’s not looking good for us if RayRay keeps making 3’s and Kobe has another off day.
