Last week, I actually went out on a Friday night because it was a recovery week for me. I haven't done that in a LONG time due to my long runs early Saturday mornings. Seriously, I've never even thought about how much time marathon training takes out of my regular life. That was until I was out late on this particular Friday and I had this monologue going on in my head as I sat waiting for my dinner at the Cheesecake Factory..."wait, what am I doing out this late, I should be in bed getting my sleep in...oh wait, this is recovery week...phew." Man, what a life. But I had a great time on date night. I went to see Hereafter (directed by Clint Eastwood). It was good except when it ended, I was kinda expecting more and was disappointed when there was no more. We had gone to an early showing of the movie so we decided to grab a late dinner (10pm) but even at that time, the local hangout where this theater is located still had a 30 min wait time at every single restaurant nearby. Gah?!?

| I forgot to take a photo of the front of the restaurant so this will have to do. |
 |
| Look at them cheesecakes mocking me with all their deliciousness. |
 |
| *Drool*...Brownie Sundae Cheesecake...I also noticed that they have a red velvet cheesecake. I almost died! |
 |
| I'm not sure why they have these little Ty toys for sale here. |
 |
| This is the Ahi Tartare from their Small Bites Section for $6.95. It is raw tuna with avocado and soy-ginger sesame sauce. Seriously good! Seriously! |
 |
| These are Vietnamese Tacos for $5.95, it is steamed buns with roasted pork and marinated veggies. Amazing! In the back is a small sausage pizza/flatbread but I'm not sure of the details since I didn't have any. |
 |
| Sliders, I didn't eat these but they are your basic sliders. I was told they were good! Love the Cheesecake Factory's Small Bites menu. |
 |
| Since I could not have cheesecake, I got a small sample of Pumpkin Pie at Pinkberry. I'm not suppose to eat this either but I am naughty sometimes. Plus, I got a $2 off coupon. Win! |
 |
| Oh it was tasty! |
 |
Awe...I saw this in the window of an art store. Love!
 |
| Came back here on another occasion and had this tuna sashimi. This is also on the small bites menu. |
 |
| Calamari w/ tartare and cocktail sauce |
 |
| Pulled pork burger |
 |
| Side of french fries |

Ever since becoming empty nesters, my wife and I have been going out. *That* is wht really drives home how much time I spent marathon training. When I was training we would *never* go out. I was either running or exhausted!
