What a weekend! I feel like it flew by and here we are on another Monday. Kyle had Friday off which was nice so we made sure to make the most of the time.
I always look forward to Kyle's days off because that means he can go to SLAM with me. This was a Veterans Day class and we did the hero WOD Murph. It was a slightly modified version but it was awesome and a tough workout. Pretty sure we both are still sore.
Later in the day we decided to take a trip to IKEA. We wanted to get E a table for her play area and a new rug. Clearly she loves the rug haha. I could spend all day in this store but that's not good for our bank account haha.
Saturday morning we were up bright and early for our 100th race!!! It was a Veterans Day 5k in Kansas City. We picked up our friends, Lauren and Anne, and headed off. A few of us from SLAM were running and it was fun! Normally Kyle runs ahead of me with E but we decided to run this together and I'm so glad! The course was a bit long but it happens, it was a great race.
We had shirts made that said, "575 miles, 100 races, 8 states, 1 hell of a good time". E also had a shirt that said "Team Smith 30" since this was her 30th race. Lauren gave us a jar of 100 caramel m&ms (our favorite) and she also coordinated for another friend to put balloons on our door for when we arrived home. It was such an awesome surprise and a great way to commemorate our 100th race. We are so thankful for such great friends!
Afterwards we headed home and got ready for the Veterans Day Parade in town. A few people that we knew were walking in the parade so it was fun to see them and support the town. It was definitely cold out but completely worth it. We ended the day with Olive Garden and called it a night pretty early.
Sunday morning we were up early again. Kyle and I were running the Gobbler Grind Half Marathon. Our friend, Lauren, was awesome enough to watch E for us since they didn't allow strollers on the course. I understand why because it ended up being mostly ran on a paved trail that was not very wide.
It was a beautiful course that was a modified out and back. Kyle and I had some goals in mind but we didn't really talk about it. He wanted a sub 2 hour half and he did it! I secretly wanted to best my time from the KC Half and I did! It was definitely cold so we were thrilled when it was over haha.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing and hanging out at home. E is walking like crazy now and it's so fun watching her "run" around the house and play.
It was a great weekend for sure!
Hope you all had a good one.
Love IKEA! How does E like Olive Garden??
ReplyDeleteShe loves it!!! Haha she is obsessed with the breadsticks.
DeleteWe don't have IKEA here, closest one is too far away for us to shop there
ReplyDeleteWe have never lived close to one so this is a treat for sure.
DeleteCongrats on 100 races! What an amazing accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Winter!
DeleteYAY for 100 races! That's such an awesome accomplishment - and it sounds like it was the perfect race to hit the milestone. Also, is there anything better than a weekend trip to IKEA? I mean, really! Happy Monday, friend - hope it's a great one!
ReplyDeleteThe closest Ikea is about 3 hours away. We'd be in trouble if it was any closer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend! Congrats on the 100 races!
ReplyDeleteI miss IKEA, the best! Congrats on 100, you are rocking it girl!
ReplyDeleteYay for 100 races!!! Soon enough E will be big enough to join you on races!!
ReplyDeleteIkea is my fave. Sometimes, when it's my turn to pick a date night location, I ask if we can go to Ikea. Not sure Jason loves it, but he appeases me.
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like a fun weekend with running and celebrating your 100th run! I like your shirts! Yes, you've got me hooked on caramel MnMs too! We enjoyed 3 veterans meals. A breakfast on Fri and Phil was off work too. Applebees on Sat for lunch. This eve after work 2 of us went to Claim Jumpers for free meal. So delicious...best of the 3! And bought a slice of 7 layer mother lode chocolate cake. So good and each of us downed a layer! Drove home in wind and rain. Have a great week! Hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100!! What a milestone! E's been to 30 races already? Amazing!! And omg, I love Ikea! I could definitely do a lot of damage in there!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100 races! I'm glad you celebrated in style. That definitely deserves it. It's so cool that you all have a hobby you can enjoy together (and it's good for you too!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 100 races and all those miles - that is a serious accomplishment! I bet it was so fun to come home to all those balloons! And IKEA...don't even get me started on how much I miss that place! LOL
ReplyDeleteIkea is always such a great time! I love those little rugs! Congrats on 100! That's quite the accomplishment! And I can't believe that E has already done 30!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing your 100th race! That's so awesome, and I love the shirts that y'all made too! It's also so awesome that y'all were able both meet your goals for your half as well!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on hitting your goals for the half! Awesome job! And 100 races is a lot. That is a fun way to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteYAY CONGRATULATIONS on hitting 100 races! I'm dying over E's outfits! I love them.
