Weekend Wrap-Up!

How is it already Monday again!? These weekends are going by far too quickly for my liking. 

The weekend started out with an evening with just me and E while Kyle attended a promotion reception for a fellow classmate. We knew that we wouldn't stay long if we all went and I wanted Kyle to stay and enjoy some down time. 

While he was gone, E and I headed off to the city to pick up race packets for a half I was doing on Saturday with a friend. It turned into a dinner out which was so fun! Where did our baby go?! She was such a big girl coloring all by herself.
I got E down for bed after we got home and then I followed pretty quickly.

I was up at 5:30 to get ready for the Chocolate Rush half marathon. A sweet friend from SLAM was running and I wanted to do it with her as support. She had a goal in mind so we ran together and I knew as I kept looking at my watch that she was going to crush it. I was so proud of her, it was an awesome moment.
The rest of the day was spent running errands and relaxing because we had another race in the morning haha.

We were able to sleep in a bit longer yesterday but we were up at 6:30am for the Kickoff 5k. We knew it was going to be cold but thankfully E has this amazing Bundleme and this weather shield to keep her warm. When the race started at 9am it was 20 degrees but felt like 12, oh and it started snowing haha! 

It was a great race though! I ran the first mile with my friend Lauren and finished out the rest solo. We had a blast!
As we were leaving the snow really started to fall and we ended up with over an inch and gosh it was cold. 

This was my view as I left the commissary
It calmed down later in the afternoon and it was pretty to look at.
We ended the night face timing with family and watching the Super Bowl. We didn't go to any parties or have any traditional super bowl snacks, it was actually really nice.

E was enamored by it all! She stood there watching for about 20 minutes. 
It was a really fun weekend but it's onto a new week!

Hope you all had a great one.

  9. Fun weekend with runs and friends too. We were gone most of Sunday. Dinner out of town after church then Costco for gas for my Ford and shopped inside. Weary. Teaching 6 4&5th grade boys wears me out. Enjoy your snow ⛄❄

    Glad you're getting so much racing in. And yep, your little one is looking like a big girl now. I know I say it every time, but she's so, so cute.
