long run + lake life (weekend recap)

Hello!! How was your weekend? Mine was too short as always, and included a long run.

On Saturday I set out super early to 1) beat the heat and 2) have time for a power nap and 3) hit the road to Winchester before it got too late. I was pretty groggy for the first five miles through the city…

Then Willie Nelson woke me up and told me to run faster!

At mile 8, I picked Anthony up for some company We headed to Shelby Park to finish on a flatter, shadier note.

Just because it was shady didn’t mean that we weren’t sweaty though. Anthony told me that Saturday was The Sweatiest he’d ever seen me. What a compliment!

Pretty good run, especially considering the hilly start and humid air.

After our run (and a power nap), we hit the road to Winchester, TN. Destination: my parents’ lake house, where these three kiddos were waiting.

We spent the day being whipped around on the waves…

and then ate a big summer dinner with our families.

Plus some mojitos. Lake life is the best!

Now it’s time to kick off a four-day week, and then head back! Have a good one!
