Last Weekend Wrap Up

I'm writing out of order but these are pictures I had on the iPhone.

WoW! What a weekend. A few of the girls got together with their husbands for a weekend at the beach. This trip has been in the works since a few weeks after the wedding. After deciding on a date, we decided on a location. TYBEE ISLAND it was. I was thrilled. I didn't have to travel far. The weekend started with an amazing dinner at Sundae Cafe. I am terrible at taking pictures but this food was sooooooo pretty that I made everyone show me their food.

Griffin had Blue Cheese encrusted fillet with cheesy potatoes, veggies, and fried onions. He said this was the best steak he ever had.

Davis and Lauren Split the crab cake dinner. Served with Polenta and okra an tomatoes. YUMO!

Meredith and I SPLIT yes this is half of the Salmon Special with nappa cabbage wraps. It was great.

Randy with his traditional cheeseburger

Bruce had a creole style pasta.

I forgot to take a picture of the appetizer, they were sushi nachos. Amazing. After, toasting Champagne to start the weekend, cocktails and, wine we were done and went home to meet the rest of the crew. We spent the night on the deck catching up and having fun. I think there was some dancing at some point.

The next few days were spent on the beach, going out, and having fun. Karaoke and Dancing at Tybee Times were the best! Pictures to follow.

Randy and I spend Sunday as a CHILL COUCH day. Those are the best. Our weekend travels are over for the summer. Now time for Fall Football Season!

A little late as always posting but my friend Lyndsey and her husband Jay just welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world last week. His name is James Hudson Joiner. I hate I missed the birth. Most of my friends got to see them.

New Kicks

I cannot believe I haven't posted this week. Maybe it's because I have been super busy. I have been feeling good this week with my training. Monday morning we ran 3.5 miles time was 40:40. Not great but it was a beautiful route. We started at Forsyth Park and winded through the pretty streets of downtown.

I hit up Fleet feet after work for new shoes. Lauren, kept saying I had to many miles on my Nikes? I thought they were fine but I always like a new purchase. We tried on numerous pairs but decided on the Mizuno Wave Rider 15. 

These aren't the color I got but I am not a huge fan of the way they looked but they felt good. I'm excited to try them out. If I find I don't like them, I'm going to trade them in for a pair of Nikes

I had a Jr.League meeting that night so I missed TRX. When I got home Randy was busy installing the new dishwasher!! Yay, I can't wait to see how it works.

Tuesday I decided to get a good Gym workout in. I headed to the Y. I did 30 min on the elliptical on Cross Training 2 option. Then I did a Fitness Buddy Ab workout and ended with some 30 Push ups. My arms were soar for sure on Wednesday.

Wednesday was our short run. We ran 3 miles around Daffin Park. I don't like running around the parks more than once but that's what the trainers wanted to do. Time was BAD and I didn't feel great running. I found myself begging for some time to walk... I need something to focus on. My time was 32 min and change. That afternoon I hit the gym. I got a quick 15 min elliptical session in before I went to TRX. It was a great workout.

Thursday I was planning on Yoga but we decided to cookout instead at Randy's moms. Once again, I forgot to take pictures. I have got to get better. I did make this beauty though! SOOO FRESH and SOO good. It was a hit.

Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add the watermelon, arugula and pine nuts and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the cheese, pepper, and fleur de sel. Serve Immediately. 

Weekend wrap up

This was a fantastic weekend! We had no plans so it was awesome. Friday, we took it easy so I could run with CREW on Saturday. I LOVED IT! We ran a neat route downtown and it was 4.62 miles. I did some walking and some running. I liked it becuase there were people whereever I was. My group and I did 4.7 miles in 59 Min. I know it is slow but.... I DID IT! I will be joining CREW for sure.

After the run I was pooped. OH did I mention some friends came over Friday night for "A GLASS" of wine. Well you know that didn't happen. I didn't get to bed until almost 1 only to wake up at 5 to go run. I made sure I was hydrated but still... So I got home from the run, showered, and then crashed. I joined Randy back in the bed for a 2 hour nap! We went out on the boat with Joe and Price for her birthday. Later, we had dinner with Robert and Heidi at Tortugas and went to Tubby's for a good time.

Randy dancing or something like it.

Sunday we slpet in and missed chruch. THe whole night before Randy was very insistent that we were going! He was the one who chose to stay home. :) We had a great lunch at Tubbys then off to Home Depot we went. I forgot, as usual, to take a before picture but I will find one. We needed stain for the deck! We came out with stain as well as one of these......

OOPS! Oh well. I will have clean dishes. When we got home I decided to tackle the pantry. I got the idea from another fellow blogger. Her pantry was 5 times this size and needed painting but this was still a chore.

Before...

After

The rest of the day was spent relaxing with the Kardashians. I also watched Extreme Makeover weight loss addition. What an inspriation for my CREW run on Monday morning.

Progress

This has been a boring week. Not much to talk about. Monday I went to trx. I felt great for the workout until hamstring time. I guess I have strained the muscle somehow because it hurt so bad when I jumped and did the floor exercises. I spent some time stretching it after that. I cooked a terrible dinner for me but Randy loved it! Hamburger steak with mashers and gravy!

Tuesday was a rest day and I had all intentions in getting up early for something but I was still so worn out from the weekend. Tuesday night we went to Price and Joes for dinner and of course forgot pictures. I am going to get better!

Wednesday was a run day! I ran for 40 min and did a pace run. It was 3.47 miles. I was pooped! I was craving some sushi after that... I didn' take a picture of mine because I already ate mine by the time I remembered to take a picture.

Thusday was a 30 min run day.... Strike 2. I got a pedicure instead. We spent the evening at Randy's mom's who is out of town and cooked out with Robert and Heidi. Once again, no pictures.

We have the kids this weekend so looking forwared to some time with them.
