On Saturday I went shopping for cycling shoes! I’ll be writing a post about that experience soon. After the shopping, we drove a few blocks to the Bridgeport Brew Pub<\/a> for a late lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt’s a really cool building but the food was kind of disappointing. We split the warm spinach artichoke dip appetizer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt was just okay. There wasn’t anything special about the dip, in fact I’ve had better elsewhere, but I was famished from Saturday morning’s intense workout and would have eaten anything honestly. The chips weren’t that great either–kind of stale. For lunch I ordered the Grilled steak and Roasted pear salad. It was grilled black angus beef, spinach, frisee, rogue blue cheese\u00a0 and a local raw honey vinaigrette.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe salad was just okay too. I wasn’t a fan of the dressing but the steak and pears were good and the blue cheese was excellent. I thought Michael’s chicken caesar salad was much better though. We both ordered one pint of the Blue Heron Pale Ale. It was a good, crisp beer!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd guess who walked in and sat at the bar near our table! Fred Armisen<\/a> from Saturday Night Live and Portlandia!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThat was so cool! It’s kind of blurry but it’s definitely him. I covertly took a photo when I went to the bathroom. I rarely see anyone famous (and often times I don’t know it’s someone famous lol). I have met Stephan Fry (it was at the premiere of the movie “Wilde” in Seattle) and I got his autograph. I also got the autograph of the Violent Femmes. But that’s the extent of my celebrity hob-nobbing I think.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWe went home and spent the rest of the afternoon working in the garden. I worked hard on clearing out the dead grass, weeds, moss and garbage growing in half the yard while Michael put my new clip-in pedals on my bike and then worked on setting up an automatic soaker hose in our raised beds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got so much work done in the garden, but by 6pm I’d hit the wall. I was utterly exhausted. I felt like an absolute zombie. And I could tell that my workout from Saturday morning was starting to take effect: DOMS!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Look at how many freakin’ calories I burned doing yard work! Really?!?! I burned more calories doing manual labor with a rake and hoe than I did in the gym?! That’s just nuts!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMichael made homemade pizza for dinner as I practiced the art of sleeping while standing up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI had one drink of limeade, a shot of vodka and a splash of sparkling water. I hoped the sugar would pep me up a bit. Not so much.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFood definitely helped. Once I ate a piece of pizza I seemed to get a second wind and come out of my zombie haze.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt was short lived though. I had some ice cream for dessert and then crashed in bed at a very early hour.<\/p>\n
