july 4th weekend recap

Gooooooooood morning! Let’s start with pizza,

just one of the delicious highlights of my weekend. How was yours?

We headed to my parents’ lake house to join my brother, sister, their families, my parents, and anthony’s parents. It was a full house!! We spent a lot of time sitting and chatting on the porch…

(with food of course.)
One of my favorite meals was the barbecue feast we had on Saturday.
I made a salad to go along! Lettuce, sundried tomatoes, olives, caramelized red onions, and roasted red peppers.
… and some feta which I added later
Many drinks were had,
and some miles were run!
Anthony and I headed to the nearby state park to knock out an easy six on Saturday morning.
I had a low mileage/recovery week planned for last week, so no long run over the weekend. Today I’m feeling rested and ready to tackle some tougher runs
On Saturday we took a trip to Unclaimed Baggage, a quirky and huge discount store on the TN/AL border that’s full of random stuff and receives more than a million visitors a year.
High-speed floppy drive, anyone?
We didn’t buy much at unclaimed luggage, but we did buy some fireworks.

The kids got a real kick out of the sparklers, but I think my dad actually enjoyed them the most.
I’m aware this post has gotten really long, so let me end with one last statement:
Try grilling some okra. It will change your life.

Have a good day!
