After my haircut yesterday, I took advantage of the beautiful day and shopped my way down Newbury Street.  Then I wandered back down the Comm Ave Mall and snapped some photos.

I grabbed lunch from b. good.  I ordered a chicken sandwich with tomato, avocado, and salsa.  I added my own lettuce and some blue corn chips when I got back to my apartment.

During my Hair Cut photo shoot, I made sure to get some shots of my handsome little corgi.

When Jared got home from work, we crossed the street for some Indian cuisine at Mela.  We were given a tiny cup of soup when we first sat down.

Jared and I split an Meat Samosas for an appetizer.

Mela’s decor.  I love the art deco style of the lights mixed with some Indian flair.  (iPhone photo doesn’t truly capture the atmosphere.)

I ordered the Tandori Chicken and Jared ordered spicy Lamb Vindaloo.  We also shared some garlic Naan.

Last time I went to Mela, it was on a weekend and the place was packed.  We waited 2 hours for our table!  Last night was was much better dining experience.  We were seated right away, the staff was attentive, and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. 

Even though we didn’t run with the SEAC run club last night, Jared and I still decided to pay everyone a visit.  We arrived at SEAC around 8:30 amd the post-run festivities were still going strong.  Everyone loves a beer after a workout!

I asked Dan for advice on a new pair of running sneakers.  He recommended a few different styles of neutral shoes in my price range.  I decided to buy another pair of Asics since that brand worked well for this past Half Marathon.  I can’t wait to break them in for my marathon training.

I also tried on a pair of Vibram 5 Fingers.  I couldn’t get my fat little toes into each individual toe hole.    I’ve heard that putting these shoes on gets easier once you own a pair and break them in.  But I wasn’t ready to break down and buy a pair just yet.  Maybe after my marathon, I’ll give barefoot running a try?!?!
