Tarheel 10 Miler

On April 9th 2011, Ryan and I ran the...

Tarheel 10 Miler

in Chapel Hill, NC

Ryan's friend Dan, that just recently got accepted into UNC

for grad school (WooHoo! How exciting?) also ran with us!

Results: I ran the 10 miler in 1 hour 45 minutes.

It's been 3 days since the race and my knee is still hurting but let me stress that it hurt 348957938475 times more Saturday night and Sunday. I couldn't even run to the car from the restaurant. (Even in the pouring rain!!! hahaha) I think it was so bad because I'm not used to running on concrete for that long. This was my 2nd longest race to date.

Kane is sooooo spoiled.

EATING IN Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill

MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY:

Italian. Make sure you have reservations. Ryan and I ate at the one in Atlanta but couldn't eat there in Raleigh-Durham because they were so packed.

They have gluten free pasta.

I think it was the CLASSIC PASTAS... but it was a deal because if you ordered one of them, you were able to choose another CLASSIC PASTA to take home with you... so Ryan and I had pasta that night and didn't even finish it and then had an entire meal plus leftovers for the following day. Pretty neat.

CARMINE'S:

Yummy gluten free pasta but silly that they charge you $4 more for the gluten free pasta.

Whole Foods & Trader Joe's

...are 2 amazing grocery stores that they have in the area... they're amazing! "Word on the street" is that good ol' Wilmington is getting a Whole Foods where the grocery store was to the left of Independence Mall on Oleander. Awesome! I also heard maybe Trader Joe's but I almost feel like that's too good to be true! We shall see! I pray we get both!

We went to both and I was in awe! We stocked up on a lot of stuff to bring home and to also eat while we were out of town, instead of eating out for all of our meals.
