2 weeks off..

...from running, and apparently blogging too ;)

Our weekends have been flying by like crazy and they're jam packed with all kinds of outdoor fun. A lot of golf and sunshine! We've now played golf 3 weekends in a row since Matt decided to go on my dad and his friends annual golf trip. I'm not complaining.

Friday night we went to a pizza palooza in downtown Bluffton benefiting the humane society, so there were a ton of dogs around! The live music was really good too, and Macie behaved so well. Saturday morning Matt and Craig decided to play golf, which left me a few hours to relax by the pool...until the pool got too crazy so I left to get a pedicure...andddd I surprised myself with a manicure too!

We had dinner plans with Daniel, Cassady, Bobby, Sara, Shane, and Alissa Saturday night, and we had so much fun catching up, as usual. Daniel and Cassady brought their sweet baby girl and she slept through everything. And Bobby and Sara announced baby #2!

Sunday morning Matt wanted to skip church, so we bummed it around the house for awhile before I headed out to beat the tourists to the grocery store- failed at it. Later in the afternoon we decided to explore a trail we had seen a few miles down the road. It was so peaceful until we discovered that this place was tick infested, like really bad. We walked about 3 miles and pulled off at least 20 ticks off us  during and after the walk. Poor Macie had a minimum of 50 pulled off her, and half her fur in the process. We won't be doing that again!!

Matt talked me into looking at beach cruisers so after showers and laundry we headed out to find the perfect pair! We found his and hers bikes at target and were sold at the "vintage" look- aka we look like old farts cruising around. We rode them to dinner and around the parking lots so I could try and remember how to ride the darn things...and I've always been awful! We tried to take them to get ice cream tonight, but I've already got a flat tire! Big bummer. 

This morning, after two weeks off, I finished a two mile run. My calf still doesn't feel great when I run, but I haven't had any extra pain today so I'm going to go with it. I'm going to try for two again in the morning and see how it goes...wish me luck! I'm icing as I'm typing ;)

Hola..

Happy cinco de mayo! 

I should've made something Mexican themed for dinner tonight, but buffalo chicken pizza was the easiest on our menu for the week, so pizza it was. Oh well.

Thankful to be relaxing this Monday evening since work was off the chain...but it made the day fly by which I'm good with. I'm trying for bootcamp all 4 days this week, so it'll be an early NyQuil-induced slumber tonight ;)

On to the weekend recap, since that's where all our excitement happens!

Saturday morning I met up with Leeann and Jen for their first 10k in Savannah. Also ran into my sis-in-law, Steph, who rocked the race with her best time ever! And our friends Shane and Alissa, along with Shane's parents; always lovely to see familiar faces! After being sick all week and not running much I bonked during the run and ended up walking a good bit. I'm now attempting a 2 week running break due to multiple injuries and being sick,so lets hope I don't go crazy during this time. I just pulled out of my next half that was supposed to happen June 6th, so I'm bummed, but I also know I need to stop for a bit. 

Moving on...

After the run Matt decided he wanted play golf, so I rode with him. Nice to get outside and enjoy the weather and the husband. The alligators were out enjoying the sunshine too!

Our night was capped off with a wonderful, indulgent dinner at Truffles. Yum. And this cheesy picture was totally Matt's idea.

Sunday morning was chores, church, lunch, then 2 glorious hours at the beach. So relaxing..and what a beautiful day!! I'm quite burned today, but it was so worth it.
What a wonderful weekend :)

It's almost Friday!!

It's almost Friday and here I am just now talking about this past weekend! This week has flown by!

We somehow made last weekend a busy one, even though it started out "relaxing". We got up Saturday and I headed out for a run while Matt set off to look at some job sites. I beat him back then did our grocery shopping for the upcoming week. I made it home by 12 then we left for Craig and Molly's so we could hang out on their new boat. I even got a tan line, whoop!! We had dinner plans with a client of Matt's so we hit the road home by 5. Dinner was good :)

Sunday morning we picked up Chance and Gracie Bea from their grandparents and took them to church, then by Firehouse for lunch so Chance could get a fire hat. We had a fun filled afternoon full of golf cart rides, long walks, and playing in the yard. Megan and Scott made it home around 8:30 and we still were in bed by 9:30! 

This week I've been quite sick and am pretty over it. I'm doing a race with Dr Sturgis and Jen from work on Saturday and I'm going to struggle a lot! I skipped my run Tuesday after being up all night coughing, made it to bootcamp yesterday, but didn't make it today and I'm bummed about it. Hoping I can get some sort of a run in tomorrow!
