Yulefest

Yulefest was our 5th 5K for the fall/winter season.  I had had to miss the Winter Classic the week before because my back was hurting but I was determined to partake in Yulefest!  I love the Cambridge 5K races and this one always has a huge after party.

I woke up on race day and felt good, and it wasn't freezing, so I decided to go for it.  I hadn't run since Veteran's Day so I wasn't expecting a great race so I was pleasantly surprised to go sub 30 minutes for the second straight race.

After the race, we grabbed brunch at Tory Row, before hitting up the after party.  It wasn't freezing so we spent a lot of time enjoying the dj and the atmosphere before heading home to recuperate.

When it came time to grab dinner I was craving Pad Thai so we decided to drive (gasp...we drove somewhere to get dinner) to Porter Square to go to Sugar and Spice, the sister restaurant to the now gone Spice and Rice that used to be in Inman.  Sure we have Ginger Exchange now, but it's really not that good, especially when compared to Spice and Rice.   We gorged ourselves on gyoza, miso soup, crab rangoons, and a giant order of Pad Thai before heading home to get some rest after a long, but fun day!
