Memorial Day Weekend Recap

This weekend was a blast but was over way way too soon. 

Saturday morning started bright and early, and do I mean early, 8am race time came quickly with lots of alarms. 

The course was a killer. And the temperature was rising as fast as the hills we were running.

After kicking it into high gear for the last 0.11 miles I finished with a 27:41 time [less than a minute off from my PR last month.] Not too bad if you ask me!

Sunday was on and off cloudy/rainy which called for a couch day and accidental naps. 

That night Ali and I called in delivery Mexican and was pleasantly surprised by our OnDemand movie of choice, How To Be Single. If you're in your mid-twenties and haven't seen it yet, totally worth the rental. 

Monday can be summed up by one picture:

Now onto a short work week and a weekend full of early birthday celebrations!

Welcome June!

Five on [almost Memorial Day weekend] Friday

1.

Wednesday I stepped out of my comfort zone, or should I say ran out of my comfort zone, and met up with a local running group for a 4 mile trail run. I won't lie, I was kind of nervous/terrified but the trail was gorgeous and I held my own as the rookie.  Who knows I might just do it again.

2.

This morning was awesome right off the bat, not only because it's the beginning of a long weekend but also because the first sneak peek of Emily Giffin's new book hit my inbox at 6am.

I can't wait to dig into it at the pool this weekend!!

32 days until First Comes Love is released and 45 days until Emily Giffin's book tour in Nashville!

3.

Speaking of books, one of my guilty pleasures  Babe Walker is releasing a new book this summer American Babe. White Girl Problems and Psychos are absolutely hilarious and you will finish them in a matter of days I promise you. June 28th cannot come fast enough.

4.

Lilly Pulitzer is having a blowout Memorial Day gift with purchase special. 

New arrivals have landed too, hurry hurry!

5.

THE PENGUINS ARE HEADING TO THE STANLEY CUP FINALS.

After a nerve wreaking Game 7 last night against the Lightning, they boys are back in the Finals for the first time since 2009. 

All the praise hands and confetti emoji. 

Hope you have an amazing Memorial Day weekend!

Wednesday Words

I know I barely know ya 

But this is feeling good 

Not gonna overthink it 

Just like I normally would 

No sense in tryin’ to hide it 

Your smile, it says it loud

We know where this is going

What’s left to figure out?

Ohh, I sing ya like my favorite song

You and me we’ve got it made

Ohh, how could feeling good be wrong?

Something tells me now

It’s alright, it’s okay

If we just keep it sweet like lemonade

You’re so fine, all day

Baby, I’m sweet on you like lemonade

Let’s not get complicated

Don’t gotta cause a scene

When I’m with you it’s easy

Wouldn’t wanna change anything

When I got your attention

I get this de ja vu

It’s like we’ve always been

Heading where we’re going to

Ohh, I sing ya like my favorite song

You and me we’ve got it made

Ohh, how could feeling good be wrong?

Something tells me now

It’s alright, it’s okay

If we just keep it sweet like lemonade

You’re so fine, all day

Baby, I’m sweet on you like lemonade

S-Double U-Double E- to a T

S-Double U-Double E- to a T

S-Double U-Double E- to a T

S-Double U-Double E- to a T

Ohh, I sing ya like my favorite song

You and me we’ve got it made

Ohh, how could feeling good be wrong?

Something tells me now

It’s alright, it’s okay

If we just keep it sweet like lemonade

You’re so fine, all day

Baby, I’m sweet on you like lemonade

It’s alright, it’s okay

If we just keep it sweet like lemonade

You’re so fine, all day

Baby, I’m sweet on you like lemonade
