What a weekend!!

For the first time in a while I had almost an entire weekend open!! Whaaaat? So what did I do with myself?


It should be no surprise to anyone that I laced up my shoes and took off down the road. How did it feel? Freakin great!! I left my house at 9:10am and headed down to the River in Harrisburg and to City Island where they were holding Race Against Racism. I was originally supposed to be away this weekend so I wasn't signed up but my company was sponsoring and I knew a coworker and good friend was running so this was the perfect motivation to get out bed and into my shoes on this beautiful day. 


As part of the "after party" this cool group of kids/teens danced. So fun to watch.. what a talented group.


After the fun part, it was time to turn back towards home, but also up to one of my favorite spots. In fact one I have missed dearly since my injury and being freaking sidelined for MONTHS! Well ok not really sidelined for that long.. but then I couldn't run the distance to get there AND BACK. Which is about a good 4 miles. This also involves quite a bit off HILL-age. Have no fear.. Tiny Thunder was near.. and ready for some hilly action. Took it slow and kicked butt and took names. I made it up the first side and promised my self a little bench sitting and a selfie. 



This is what self me got to enjoy during my break. So beautiful and so glad to be back to the point where I can run to and visit this park any time I daggon please :) When I got back home I landed at a nice 6.75 miles.  Ba-bam.


After I got home.. it was time for a shower and unpacking all this madness that I bought on Friday at the market. Isn't this beautiful? Maybe I went overboard on the tomatoes?? Naaaah.


Last fun of the day Saturday was going to Dollar General to pick up planters to start my garden in a few weeks.. and found this perty cup. Awesome right?!?! Hubs even commented on it when he got home.. sweeet.

Sunday we hopped on the motorcycle and headed to the inlaws farm. Hubs has been itching to practice shooting with his hand gun he bought back after Christmas and itching to have ME try to. Made me nervous but I did it.. and didn't crap my pants. We also took the 4wheeler out for a spin and had some fun. (no pictures though.. sorry!!) 

How was your weekend?? Did you enjoy the sunshine?

Into the woods

 Every week since I updated the look here, I keep telling myself I will write. Somehow life (or sleep) gets in the way and I never sit down to get started on anything.  Early last week, Bryan suggested that we take our long run to the Appalachian Trail and of course I agreed immediately. He knows how much I love running trails, especially the AT, and even more so, starting at Boiling Springs. I have a history with the AT, so running there always feels a little like home when we are able to run there.  Some areas had a little snow Friday and it was evident that the trail was sprinkled with a tiny amount- just enough to feel slightly magical. It's been a super mild winter here in PA, so we get excited every time we see even a flurry of snow.  There was no shortage of fun little fan mushrooms so I could not resist the urge to stop for a few photo ops. It seemed like they were doing some cleanup after the frequent high winds we have had lately, so I did see some areas wi...

2017- a killer year for running

Image
Can you believe that we made it through 2017 and here we are at the start of a new year full of new goals and possibilities? 2017 was a mixed bag for me. Running-wise it was fantastic, but other things not so much at all. Looking back at all of the things I have accomplished and all of the miles I have tackled make me feel nothing short of amazing. Incredible. Strong. BADASS. I wanted to do a quick run down of all the races I did this year. I didn't blog on all of them but I thought it would be fun. I ended up doing 18- YES EIGHTEEN races this year ranging from 1 mile to 100k (62+ miles) with a total of 1540 miles which is my highest mileage yet. So here goes, you ready?? 1.  Squirelly Tail Twail Wun  - 2/26/17, time 2:26:34. This was a super sweet, muddy race. The temperature was cold but not frigid and I had a course PR. I had so much fun and it was a great first race of the year for me. I plan to back in 2018 for year 4. 2.  Chambersburg half - 3/11/17, tim...
