Lake Day!

Sunday was officially an awesome day. After my morning workout the weather was really heating up and I had to take advantage of it. The hubs was desperate to go fishing, so we decided to drive to a beautiful lake nearby and try our luck. Well, his luck. I was only interested in tanning, reading, and eating Nerds. 
What I needed for a nice afternoon. Yes, those are Nerds in a Ziploc bag.
Portion control, baby!


We walked around and took some photos, naturally, before the fishing and it was so gorgeous. Coming from Hong Kong, it's crazy to me that this lake is going to be so close to our new home! Here are some pics from the day:
I found a ladybug!

Me & the hubs.




All in all, a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
What did you get up to this Sunday?
Tell me about cool places near your homes! I know some of you live near some beautiful mountains, parks, running trails....!
Hope your Monday mornings are bearable.... :)

    Sounds like a great day! It was a little chilly this weekend in RVA but going to hit 80 today. I am so ready for warmer weather and my flip flops!

    That looks gorgeous! I live near a good size river with some paved trails around it, and I love a lake that's near me that has great hiking trails. Love pretty places!!

    I LOVED that book. What do you think? I actually have a first edition signed copy of it that I got from our library's annual book sale. Cost a total of $.50!

    SO awesome that you spent your Sunday at a lake. That sounds so relaxing and fun. I did school stuff most of my Sunday then came home and caught up on Netflix movies :) I live near the mountains though and hike/run/play in them when ever I can :) Have a GREAT week!

    I wish it was warm enough hear to lay in the sunshine. But, Seattle is a beautiful area - lots of waters & mountains, & close to the ocean. We're going to the beach this weekend with the kids, which is always entertaining. :)

    That lake looks so peaceful and beautiful! Didn't do much on Sunday besides work, but on Saturday my day was filled with running and biking around the big park by my house! Hooray for outdoors!

    I went for a walk on Sunday... I was still sore from my 11 miler the day before! It was a great way to get my daily dose of Vitamin D!!

    I totally agree with you on the diet pop thing, by the way. It's hard to trade a Diet Dr Pepper (my fave) for a bottle of Smart Water, but yes, you sleep so much better when you do!

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful

Brace Yourselves: Cuteness is Coming

One of the hardest things about moving, for me, was wondering how the cats would adjust each time. Although our cats are super travelers at this stage, I feel really guilty every time we have to pack them up and force them onto a plane. I remember my grandma telling me years ago that when she moved with a cat, they put butter on their paws. That way, the cats spent the first day in a new house licking their paws to get them clean, and that was enough time to lose the "smell" of the old house. I love that story, and I wish the same principle applied to longer moves. Anyway, that's a super long intro to say that for the fellow cat ladies out there, our three fur babies are insanely happy in this jungle gym of a home here in Florida. It's warm, there are plenty of sunny spots to curl up a take a nap, and they have lots of room to spread out. Despite the space, of course, they still usually want to take a nap on my head at night. Obviously. They also love climbing on ou

Running Jewelry Giveaway from The Run Home!

Running has a tendency at times to make me feel just a little less feminine that I might like. The curves might disappear just a little (well...the top ones at least. Bottom ones are still out in full force) and I spend more time fiddling with my Garmin than I do putting on make-up. So I love when I can show my interest in running with a beautiful, feminine piece of jewelry. I recently received two necklaces from the great people at The Run Home.   They have an Etsy store full of inspirational necklaces, bracelets and more for athletes. I received this beautiful necklace in the mail from them: A cute running shoe, heart, and a hand-stamped 26.2 charm. In all honesty, I don't think I'll wear this until I have finished the marathon in November. Kind of like wearing a race shirt before you completed the race! But it will make the perfect reward and I can't wait to wear it with pride. The Run Home sent everything to me perfectly packaged--like it was a gift. I loved that:
