I'm feeling pretty good today.
Last night, John & I went out for dinner @ the local brewpub (75th St brewing) and I had a turkey burger with sweet potato fries, a brown ale, and a pale ale.
Then we walked down the street to a little beer bar where I ordered a Rogue Imperial IPA and john had a Sinebrychoff porter. He also helped me finish the IIPA (750ml bottle). We sat & played Connect Four (I lost every game, psshh) and talked to the bartender who was about our age and just as much of a beergeek as we are.
It was great and just what I needed. I got so dehydrated and carb-puffy that my muscles & veins were popping out all over my arms. I loved it.
I have really needed this mental and physical break. We're doing Office Olympics today at work (opening ceremonies begin shortly). Among many other games, there's a blind beer tasting event (Name That Beer, basically). I hope to at least medal.
Then we're going camping for the weekend. I should have some pretty badass workouts next week after this fantastic and replenishing break. YEAH, GO ME. And I'm going to start letting myself have more beer, starting next week.
