Celebration Weekend
This past weekend could not have gone better! We had a blast celebrating Lillian, enjoying the company of our amazing family and friends, and running running running!
First up on Saturday was Lillian’s birthday party! The day was absolutely beautiful for our backyard soiree. We could have just provided Lillian with some sidewalk chalk and she would have thought it was a great day. But, instead, we gave her sidewalk chalk, a burrito/taco bar, cute decorations, corn hole, lots of music to dance to, and a huge crowd of some really amazing people. She had a total blast, gave out endless hugs, and never stopped dancing! No wonder that she slept until 10:45 the following morning!
As worn out as I was after the party, I did not have the pleasure of sleeping in. I did, however, have the pleasure of running 13.1 miles around my lovely city. Seriously, despite the rain, it was lovely, and it couldn’t have been more perfect that ‘Beautiful Day’ by U2 came on my iPod as I rounded the corner to the finish line! I finished with a time of 2:04:56 – I am really proud of that! And while I’m hooked on this running thing, I am granting myself a week off to rest for the first time in 5 months! Then it’s back to training…the Columbus marathon is months away…the big question now is whether I run the half or full?!
