I’m in the great City of Austin for a HUD training this week until Friday.
My goal this week is to study after classes, but also fit in some fun and check out the city.
Felt like a dream rolling out of bed for a 5:30am treadmill run.
That was a first in a loooong time to be up that early!
Big FAIL forgetting to pack my earphones so I watched TV and busted out 3 miles on the treadmill.
Back in my room, I pulled out my Yoga mat for AB exercises.
The tummy started to rumbled so I made my way to the hotel breakfast bar.
Avoided the good looking doughnuts….boooo LOL
Picked up a strawberry yogurt & banana.
Then came the no flavor eggs and a good half of a bagel with PB & honey.
Greek for Lunch!!
Met a nice lady in class who suggested Greek; so my coworkers and I followed her to ”Austin Greek Deli”, a tiny Mom & Pop deli!
So my coworkers have never eaten Greek but they were daring & adventurous today.
Usually, they are very,very, picky eaters. Shocked they even said YES!
HUGE Gyro filled with greens with seasoned fries on the side.
Greek Salad
The service was fast and the food was the BOMB…delicious! Thanks to Cathy, the lady we met in class.
She definitely knew her Greek food
What’s a new City you visited lately? Did you try any new foods or restaurants?

ok, i might have a really dumb question. how do i follow you (on your blog) if i do not have twitter? i’ve been looking for 5 minutes and figured i might as well ask.
Well, I would LOVE to watch TV for 3 hours on the couch!! …oh wait, that’s not what you did, is it? #treadmillin’
Have fun in Austin! I love Greek food. Over the summer I travelled to some new cities and my favorite was Marrakech. The food was insanely amazing.
Way to go — getting in a workout at the crack of dawn — minus your music.
I like the slogan of the capitol: Keep Austin weird…
Greek food is amazing! But Italian and Mexican are still my two top favs..then Indian..then Greek! Haha. Looks like you’re staying busy–hope all is well!
The last new city I visited was NY in April, and I tried all kinds of new restaurants!
Good job getting up early to get the work out on!
I went to Portsmouth, NH this summer. There are several great restaurants there AND beer places too!
when i moved to Corpus Christi, I really felt food was going to be boring again. LOL. I was wrong. I discovered a restaurant called HU DAT NOODLEHOUSE. They have pho, sushi, all sorts of noodles and rice dishes, etc. It’s such an amazing place!!! I’ve eaten there twice already since I’ve been here (it;s been 3 weeks). I also ate at this restaurant by the ocean called Waterstreet. it’s a seafood place and they serve sushi as well. I didn’t get seafood, I got their burger instead with their homemade sweet potatoe fries – WOW. Excellent place!
Noodlehouse sounds delish!
Woo-hoo for 5:30am workouts! Nothing like a 3 mile run to get a long day of workshops and conference-talk off to a good start
The newest city I’ve visited lately was Asheville, NC in August for vacation. The food scene was out-of-this world!
Glad you’re enjoying your visit to Austin!
I love Greek food! Have you been to Zorba’s in Plano (best Gyro ever) or Ali Baba (best babaganoush and falafel)? Way to go working out while away!
No, I’ll have to check Plano out.
I haven’t had Greek food in a while! It looks delicious. I love that you were up and at ‘em on the treadmill nice and early. I used to do that on business trips and my co-workers sometimes thought I was a little nutso for it;)
so happy you are in austin. go to hey cupcake or sugar mamas for cupcakes. NOW! Next time we must meet up!
I’ll have to go find the cupcake place before I leave
Mmmm I LOVE Greek! I’m headed to Austin next month and can’t wait!! But I’ll be there for Austin City Limits, so probably won’t have tooo much time to do a lot of exploring. Have fun!!
I LOVE Austin… we have many friends there and go each spring for SXSW – SO fun!
The last NEW city I visited was a few months ago – taking a 4 day spa weekend to Santa Fe… *SIGH* it was fabulous.
