Caitlin, her husband, two of their visiting friends, and I just had dinner and frozen yogurt with a couple local bloggers!

We all met Diana and Brittney for dinner at a place called Big Daddy’s! I got an awesome veggie black bean burger with all sorts of fun toppings — feta, avocado, BBQ sauce, and more 🙂

NOM! They even had whole wheat buns 🙂

On the side, I had a spinach salad with even more fun toppings — strawberries, more feta, walnuts, carrots, cucumber, mushrooms… yum!

After dinner, we all got frozen yogurt 🙂 So addicted!

We’re off to bed early now so Caitlin and I are well rested and ready to rock our 5k race in the morning!

Wish us luck 🙂 I’ll be back tomorrow with a race recap!
