Weekend Recap : Bikes Rides & Warm Weather

Flip flop season has begun

This weekend was pretty busy but pretty great. I worked a shift at the restaurant every evening, and spent the days relaxing in the warm weather. There was a quick visit from my mom, yoga and brunch with some girlies, reading my book on the lawn, a little thrifting, and a bike ride to town this morning to grab coffee with Owen. Now I'm energized and ready to get to work on the shop today, mixed in with a little beach time this afternoon since its going to be 80 degrees : ) Happy Monday everyone!

Weekend Recap : Half Marathon and Besties

Morning stretch

Nervous walk in!

This weekend was the Unplugged Half Marathon that I have been blabbing about for the past few months. My sister Kelly and I were lucky enough to grow up with another pair of sisters our same age who were our best friends, and remain our best friends today. They came up to run the half marathon with us for a little "girls weekend", and it was such a great time having the four of us together (a rare occurence). We all stayed at my house, had a little get together afterwards with some great food, and watched a chick flick with mimosas that night while we iced our knees. Let me just say, ouch. I am so proud of us all though, each one of us ran the whole thing without stopping to walk once. Although two hours and twenty minutes is not a record breaking time by any means, if you had asked me three months ago if I could have run that long without stopping, I would have said no freakin way. It feels really great to have set a goal and accomplished it. It also feels great now to sit on the couch with a glass of wine and move as little as possible. Hope your weekend was great!

Wore : Running Gear

As I had mentioned before in a previous post, I signed up for a half marathon that will be happening in April. A few friends and my sister are doing it with me, so it should be a great time. I have been (mostly) training on schedule, which is the first time I've been running regularly since college (yikes!). It really has been great to feel myself slowly getting back into shape, and to see the extra energy it provides me. As silly as it may seem, whenever I am wearing cute running gear, it gives me a little bit of extra motivation to get moving. So I figured I'd put together a little round-up of cute outfit ideas to keep that motivation flowing ; )
