My mom took me for a birthday lunch at The Brickyard yesterday afternoon, where I ordered one of the best salads that I’ve eaten in a while

The food here is always delicious, especially their crispy brick oven pizza, and the bar/lounge downstairs is the perfect place for a night out.

You literally feel like you are at a trendy Boston bar, but with plenty of parking, and less drunk people running around screaming.

I said Less..not None

For those of you in the Boston area, give The Brickyard a try for lunch or dinner, and  you can also find live entertainment Wednesday-Sunday evenings.

I had some extra time after lunch, so I fit in a workout at the gym that was “broken toe friendly”

There is not much pressure put on it unless it’s stuffed in a sneaker, so I improvised and brought some dumbbells into my gym’s studio, laid down a mat, and worked out in my socks

Sliding mountain climbers in socks….HELLOOO
