Good Monday morning to you!  I hope your week is off to an awesome start!

I’m still playing catchup from being gone over the weekend.  Laundry, laundry, laundry…weekend trips make it so much worse, but totally worth it! 

Speaking of the weekend I hope everyone had a great one! 

I got to start my weekend my favorite way…with an 8 mile run.

You can’t really see it, but the Olympics are in the background, and they looked so pretty that we had to stop and get a pic.  Once the run was done, the fun began.  We purposely wanted to have the last “long” run before race day done before heading to OR.  That way we can eat and drink a bit more relaxed and not worry about how it will impact running.

The rest of the weekend was spent in Manzanita and Cannon Beach.  While the weather was on and off wind and rain, more on than off, we still had a great time and even got some beach time in! 

Now it’s back to real life, and getting ready to run Whidbey Island Half.  Lot’s of hydration this week, paying attention to what I eat so my tummy is happy at the start line, and taking it easy on the last two runs this week. 

Looking forward to getting the first half of the year under my belt, and start getting ready for my first relay race!

Happy Monday!
