After Burger Day!, Natalie and I drove south to Austin to stay with Natalie, so we could all run the Cap10K Sunday morning. But, every race needs fuel, and our race needed booze.
Our strategies are unconventional but tasty.
Both Natalies and I picked up Regan and headed to the San Jose Hotel for drinks Saturday night (before heading to Max's Wine Dive for dinner).
This was a champassion: champagne, passion fruit, and raspberries.
It tasted even better than it looks, which seems impossible, I know.
I don't know anyone else who would spontaneously go on a road trip to Austin with me to run more than six miles and then do all the driving. She's a keeper.
This lady opened her doors to two bloggers! She's a reminder that for all the crazy the internet tosses at you, it sure can surprise you with a sweet and lovely friend (and running partner!).
But, seriously, next time you're in Austin (say, for the Blathering?), get thee to the San Jose Hotel and order the champassion.
Bring me along, though, okay?
(Also, WOW, I need a tan.)
