Sneakers, sweat, stilettos

Somedays I wear many hats.  Saturday I wore many shoes...and more make up than usual. But no actual hats.  That's a metaphor. Here's how my day went down.

5am wake up call to host Track Shack's Celebration of Running 5k.  The start of the Track Shack Running Series.  As always it was an amazing event with a great group of Central Florida runners.

10am home and time to hit the streets.  I had to get some cardio in this body.  Kyle and I had BBQ for dinner on Friday and a date at Everglades planned for the pm.  So into the heat I went.

It wasn't a bad run.  I stayed in the shade and put in a good 3 miles.  From sneakers to sweat.

Next it was glam time.  Yup- afternoon glam.  Kyle and I were excited to be asked to judge America's Perfect Junior Teen this weekend.  Don't judge, but we both are pageant aficionados. Kyle's judging success is well documented.

The pageant is 3 days and the competition is intense. These girls are beautiful, well coached, and the wardrobes are amazing!  Amazing! I didn't take any competition pics, because I think it would be weird for a judge to randomly photograph a contestant. Right?  But I will share photos once I can.

After we finished judging the prelims it was off to dinner.  We love Rosen restaurants at Shingle Creek so we were intrigued by Everglades $35 prix fixe menu.  $35 for a salad/soup, entree, dessert, and glass of wine!  Any entree on the menu!  Most entrees are $30-$35 so this is a "steal of a deal" as Kyle says.

The food was well done, but not as amazing as Cala Bella or Land Remembered.  I had a melon and goat cheese salad and grouper with grits.  Kyle went with French Onion soup (very good) and the NY strip.  The best part of the dinner was just spending time with Kyle and not having to do dishes!

We didn't eat all of these- just the plate we picked our choices from.  I swear!

It was a wonderful day from sneakers to sweat to stilettos!

Love and variety,
Kyle & Carissa
