Luke’s dog, Ellie, lives with Luke’s parents most of the time, however she is staying with us for the month of September. It is such a treat having her around. No matter how bad your day was, all your troubles instantly melt away after being greeted by Ellie. She is cooped up all day in the yard so we try to take her for a walk/run when we get home from work. The gorgeous weather and amazing evenings we have been having makes our daily strolls that much more enjoyable. Well, last week after putting in quite a few miles, Luke decides it is time for a new pair of running shoes which makes me think I could probably use a new pair as well! So on Friday after work, we met at Heart & Sole, a local running store in Santa Rosa. They analyze your feet and videotape you jogging on a treadmill to see how your feet strike the ground when you run. We both walked out of there with a great pair of new kicks perfect not only for the shape of our feet but also for our personal running stride. The sales associate helping us asked if we were training for anything. Our response was, no, just training for life J (and ski season of course!). By the time we left the store we were pretty hungry (all this talk of running really worked up our appetite) so we decided to try the pizza place next door called I Love NY Pie. The family who owns it is from New York and Luke and I both agreed it was the BEST PIZZA we have ever had! Our waitress said the medium would be enough for us so we decided to order the large to have leftovers. Well, so much for leftovers, we ate almost the entire large pizza – we did manage to save one slice for leftovers! Naturally we justified eating so much by saying that really it wasn’t so bad because the crust was so thin…..right. I can’t believe I lived three blocks away for 2 years and never tried this place. AMAZING! If you live in the area, definitely worth checking out. FYI - Monday nights it’s buy one pizza, get the second ½ off.
The next morning, I took Ellie and my new kicks out for a 6 mile run to burn off all that NY pizza pie.
