INSEE Run

Another 10.5km run (that extra 0.5k is a killer) this weekend BUT the last one until the triathlon.  I know I have pushed it too much with my knee.  It did hurt and it was not clever to do it.  However, I did get my best time and I even walked probably 1/2km when I knew my knee could not take it anymore.  But have decided not to run the Bangkok Marathon this weekend and hope that my knee has repaired enough for Phuket Triathlon in two weeks.  I am super frustrated about my knee and lack of pool.  So who knows how it will actually go, but I did get a super cute trisuit, so think I will look nice while trying it!

Another overall win for Lyndsey, my hero.

Blue Parrot, Dinner and Tooth

What a big moment! The first lost tooth, it was tear worthy really.  Where does the time go?!  Before the big tooth moment we spent the afternoon at Blue Parrot.  Our pool is closed for two months (as least) and I am trying to find other ways to entertain Sebastian during the weekends and evenings.  It is a great little lunch spot and has the all important swimming pool.

We then had some people over for our usual Mexican madness dinner.  As usual the kids had a blast and the house was a wreck.  But we got to know some new people in the building and a great German family from Luis's language department.

First tooth gone!  And a hole 120 Baht to show for it, very excited kiddie here.

Baia Soi 11

We live one street away from tourist central.  Loads of restaurants, bars, hotels and clubs.  There are somethings that never changed, Tony's, Bang Bang, good old Hillarys's and then somethings that always change.  Every time I walk down the street there seem to be something new.  Wednesday, date night, we walked by a new spot Baia.  A large lovely new restaurant on a major corner.  I cannot for the life remember what was there before it. I love a new post as they are so eager to please.  And it was great, they were attentive, the food was good, prices and they gave us a free desert.  I also learnt that Thursdays women drink for free. So obviously I shall return, but probably not on a Wednesday..

Coway Race

Well I am finding my injured knee hard to deal with.  I let it rest all week and thought I could just try my race on Sunday.  It was just 6km and I thought I could just walk it.  It was the wrong decision. But it did feel much stronger.  Now this week I will really try and rest it.  But difficult as up until December 14th I have a lot of events I have been training for. 

Then we went to watch Game 7.  We will not even go there.

Blue Jays Disappointment - Halloween Dinner

Saturday we were up and off by 6:30am to watch game 6 of the World Series final.  It looked pretty certain that they would win (they didn't).  We were then invited to a Halloween dinner at our new friends Mark and Lisa.  They have a beautiful apartment and made a really fun night full of games, food and drink.

                                           

A super nice evening.

Halloween - Haunted House

Halloween was almost cancelled this year.  The old Queen of Thailand passed last week and we are in mourning for 90 days.  However, we were able to have a celebration in our building. As I made one last year I have now created a precedent that I will live to regret and another haunted house was constructed.  Sebastian would not let me help make a costume and he went as a ghost (slash table cloth), he thought it was quite the amazing costume. 

Two Different Date Nights - Two Different Boys

In fact, I had three date nights in a row with three different boys but forgot to take a picture of Mark and me on Monday.  I must be losing my touch.  Tuesday Sebastian and me hung out at school quite late watching football and gymnastics at his request.  He then asked me to have dinner with him at Tony's, his favourite spot.

Wednesday night, funny enough, me and Luis ended up at the very same Tony's.  I am one lucky lady.
