And Just Like That June Ends

Summer has officially started this month and boy is it getting hot!  I've been waking up a 6:00 a.m. just to try and beat the heat on my Saturday long distance runs.  Dash is back to running with me after a little scare on Father's Day.  She ended up getting some stomach bug because she ate food she wasn't supposed to.  Anyways, she's her normal self again after a shot and meds.

She ran 10 miles with me on Saturday and we took it easy.  She had to stop and look at the Longhorns and babies.  

Our little boy Noah, is off to Sea World with my little brother and his family.  Eddie and I took advantage and went out for date night this weekend.  I discovered a new low calorie, alcoholic drink that a friend of mine introduced me to and it's my new favorite drink.  I'm not much of a drinker and a light weight, but when I do decide to drink, I want it to be low calorie and low to zero sugar.  Since I'm not training right now, I can afford a little drink here and there this summer :).  I call it "Spicy Cucumber Cocktail."

Here is the ingredients:  

cucumber

jalapeno

muddled Blanco Tequila

Cointreau

and fresh lime juice 

shaken up

It's light, refreshing and with a little kick.  Salud!
