Sunday Snaps #3 – happy everything!

Happy Father’s Day, First Day of Summer, and our Anniversary! We got married 6 years ago on a wet Sunday, similar to the one we’re experiencing today. Time really flies when you’re having fun.

This year, we’re celebrating in Block Island. After my conference ended on Friday afternoon, we drove to New London and hopped on a ferry over to the island for a mini getaway.

(Don’t mind the eye closure in the picture, it’s really the sunset you should be focused on.)

The peacefulness of morning run cannot be beat (except when my phone keeps vibrating from Josh’s text messages – this is what happens when he doesn’t run with me!).

We’re really enjoying the casualness of island and seeing the local crafts.

We only bike on vacation, a much faster way to get around than by foot or running.

The descent from Mohegan Bluffs. It’s totally worth it.

The relaxation of the ocean and beach at Corn Cove after the hike down from the bluffs.

The yummy and fresh seafood. I devoured over a pound of lobster yesterday, but boy was it hard work.

We saw this in a store and couldn’t agree more.

And dinner is not complete without ice cream. I got Snickers and Mudslide – yum!

Have a wonderful Father’s Day and First Day of Summer! What are you doing to celebrate? 

 

Sunday Snaps #2

My week in review with not a lot of words. I think the heat and humidity is getting to me and preventing me from being able to write/type.

I went to an American Red Cross Adult First Aid/CPR/AED class and now I’m officially certified. One step closer to my RRCA coaching certification.

My arm wrapped in gauze and dressing during the class. I know how to properly wrap a wound now.

I’m pulling a Coach Brian, trying to take blurry pictures while I run. Thank you Toni for capturing this moment and for not killing me for taking a million bad pictures.

A picture of some of our team this year. Coach Brian likes making us take silly pictures. I don’t have a problem with being ridiculous.

I’m getting good at taking pictures of those running behind me, especially getting my head in the bottom right corner.

I ran the Oakley Mini 10K on Saturday. Man, it was hot and humid. I really hate running in the heat. But it was pretty cool starting a race on Central Park West.

My head felt like it was on fire for the last three miles. I had to walk through the last two water stations since I was getting dehydrated. My official finish time of 55:42 (8:59 min/mile pace) wasn’t too bad considering the conditions.

This was my attempt at taking a creative picture of the race tank, medal, bib, and the flower they gave me at the finish. This picture was also featured on my Instagram.

A chocolate glazed donut is the best way to start a Sunday.

What was on the docket for this weekend?
