This weekend was such an incredible break from the busy life! Believe me, I would have liked to update OTW all of last week, but with 5 full days of work, marathon training in progress, cooking meals, and making the most of what available social life I have, I haven't made it to the blogosphere. My apologies...
But thank goodness this weekend let me explore a little outside of Charlotte with lovely people doing just what I love to do the most- Explore and Have Adventures!
The weekend started off with a 10k race up at The White Water Center. My first trail run (let alone first race since last year's turkey trot) I still wanted to get a sub 8min-mile pace going and get around 45 minutes. Although I didn't make my goal time, I still got first in my age division, third overall female, and I got to run next to some incredibly beautiful, God-driven people. Win-Win-Win in my book!
Next... I was off to Raleigh for some fun in the sun with friends...
No one told me about the death of our inflatable friend...
Oh well... RIP- We still had a good day without him.
After swimming in the quarry until even prunes would be jealous of my fingers' state- it was time for tacos and rest before a little baseball!
We headed downtown Durham for a Durham Bulls Game!
((And when you let these girls 'wander out for a beer', of course, we come back beer-less and faces painted!))
Hope you all had a lovely, restful weekend! Here's to the next 5 days, minor speed bumps leading to where our next weekend adventure awaits!
