Beam Me Home
Tonight is my last night in Grand Rapids, MI. The kind folks at GRGrub gave me a bunch of awesome-sounding places to eat while in town, but I didnt realize I wasnt staying downtown. Normally, I would be excited to venture out, but I forgot my glasses and that makes driving at night difficult, especially in a new town.
Uccello's was a quick drive from the hotel and had gotten awards for best pizza in Grand Rapids.
I started with a garden salad and the house balsamic dressing. The dressing was good and the salad was fresh. For the pizza, I ordered a grilled margherita.
I was disappointed as soon as I opened the box. I expected the grilled crust to be crispy.
I ended up popping popcorn to go with my salad. I also enjoyed a mini Diet Dr Pepper. Love it.
Workouts
When I arrived at the hotel earlier in the week, I was disappointed to see that the gym was the same size as Storage Room B. Monday night, I did a 25 min upper body lifting working with the free weights they had available.
The next day, I was talking to the instructor of my class about it and she mentioned she had a free week-long pass to her gym that she would be happy to give to me. YESSSS.
MVP Sports Club was a huge, awesome gym with the nicest treadmills I have ever run on. Touchscreens on each one and there were at least 40 of them.
- Tuesday, I ran 4.2 miles in 40 mins.
- Tonight (Thursday), I ran 3.0 miles in 30 mins.

ahhh traveling. Nice job on the free workout pass. If I'm going to be somewhere for a week, I usually find a local gym and go and try and buy (or score a free) pass. Have a safe trip home!
Ahhh - hate it when pizza sucks! Usually I eat it anyways though...I ordered one the other night and it was a bit cold...but looked sooo good ;)
I just added you to my BlogRoll - hope you don't mind! - do the same if you like please - I love new readers :)
Oy vey. Sorry - I'm originally from Michigan, and Grand Rapids is not one of our most delightful corners. I think I remember it being a dry county when I was growing up, so if you can at least order a glass of wine, be thankful!
