Recap of the last 2 weeks

Sorry I've been quiet. It's been a very busy, fast passing two weeks.
We started last weekend with a girl's weekend get away to celebrate my Sisnlaw getting married.
This weekend was her bridal shower. Ah fun times. Just don't ask how much running I've done.

I packed running clothes for our weekend away. I really did. The running just didn't happen. We walked quite a bit. Part of the time I was in heels.

 

My legs look amazing! My best feature I think.  

We did lots of dancing! I mean lots. Followed by another mile walk back to the resort. This counts as my exercise for the weekend right? Sleep was my friend. When Fabulous didn't get up to run, I was okay with that! Sleep was much needed. 

We went to a piano bar the next night and that was just as fun as a night of dancing. 

Who knew?! I have never been to one before, but will so be going back!

Our weekend was full of laughing! We had so much fun just catching up and laughing over everything. From guys and their witty lines they tried using on us, to my crazy & wild actions!

Coming back from a weekend away definitely caught up with me. I was to exhausted to run, workout or do anything. I was in bed by 9 most nights. Pretty sad stuff huh?

Yesterday was Sisnlaw's bridal shower. What a lovely time it was. Lots of laughs and love to go around. I am super excited for her special day! 2 weeks and counting! 

Autumn's Bridal Run

Saturday was Run or Dye AKA Autumn's bridal run. It was a fun run 5k. Weather was nice and breezy. Perfect running weather! Our shirts came out great! Us girls had our socks, leis, and to cool for you sunglasses! Fabulous was there too, with her daughter doing her first 5k! How exciting!  

Running was a little difficult this race, a lot of people were walking and most of them probably weren't runners/ walkers who have done 5k's. They were more than likely doing it for the color fun! Weaving in and out of people got tricky at times, and I ended up with a terrible cramp. (my fault, I didn't drink enough water). I kept running though. Held my side and ran on. The bride to be, sisnlaw finished first in our group! Woo!! Then we all followed behind! 

I think I was the cleanest of all the girls! Not sure how that happened, but in a way I am glad. Clean up was no fun! A day later and the girls still have color on them!! HA! 

Super proud of little Fabulous! 7 year old doing a 5k! Way to go!! Plus she looked super cute!! Her mommy has totally inspired her! Just like she inspires me! Love you Fabulous!! 

     Since I am a fire wife, and the run was in the city that my fireman works for, I felt it was only right that I took a picture by the engine. (which he has told me is their back up engine). So what, still an engine. 

    After our run we went to a steak house and I had a big ol' juicy burger! With water of course! I know, I know, not the healthiest choice.. but I earned it. Will run for food they say! 

    Overall I had a wonderful time with the girls doing what I LOVE doing! And I couldn't be happier to have friends who share the same love for running that I do. Without them keeping me motivated and inspired I would not be the runner that I am today. I love you girls!!! XOXO 

 

Run Down

This fire wife here hasn't ran this week. BOO! Between his schedule and me getting a stomach bug I haven't done much of anything. The house is a mess. I just want to run, but don't want to over do it. I need to get better and to feel better. I can't stand being ill, it throws my running off.  I finally feel like running 3 to 4 miles is easy peasy, then get sick, it knocks me back down. Very frustrating!
I have a color run 5k on Saturday with my sisnlaw and her bridal party.  I am very excited for a fun run! (Fingers crossed that I am 100% better). Sisnlaw made shirts and all! She's crafty like that! Me, not so much. I can't wait to rock these shirts.  How many of you prefer making outfits for runs?

Super cute shirts huh?! I think so!! I'll be sure to post more pictures after Saturday's race. Stay tuned!
