Walk/Run

I've never been a runner. I'm a walker. I could walk for hours and hours. But running, that's hard.

But for some reason, every May I'm hit with the desire to run. And so I try. I really get into it,  for about three weeks. And then it gets hot or it rains one day or I just don't feel like it and suddenly, I'm done. Back to walking.

Running has never come easy to me. I didn't like it as a kid and honestly, I still don't really like it. Why even bother? Because if I can run, even just a short 30 minutes, then I'd accomplish something I've never done before. That would feel good.

Well, it's May again and the bug has hit again. The weather is beautiful and I live by some of the best running areas in the city. Who knows? Maybe this time it will stick. If not, walking will always be there for me.

Barbette

When you're looking for something quaint and a little bit Parisian, head over to Barbette. It's cute, it's lively, it's delicious. We managed to catch the last few minutes of happy hour to get drinks before we dived into the bit more spendy dinner menu. The food was top notch and absolutely incredible. He had the lobster risotto and I had the seared wild acre chicken with the most incredible cornbread cake.   I cannot wait to go back to try their brunch menu! Until then, enjoy the photos:
