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...

Active Bands Review and Giveaway

Click this link at your own risk, but let it suffice to say that I have some wild hair. No, not a couple of curls. A wild, beastly tangle that is NOT allowed out on its own. Ever. So running is a challenge. A ponytail is a given...and then usually a bun. I tried a few different headbands in the past, but they all end up "sweating off" and either annoying me completely or just falling onto the floor. Enter Active Bands. I wish there was some kind of heavenly gate chimes or something to accompany this post. I feel that strongly. I know there are a few "running" bands specifically designed to keep your hair in place, and I can't speak for them all because I haven't tried them all, but of every one I have put to the test, Active Bands are the only ones that work. I read about them so much on blogs that I bought my own to try out several months ago. I purchased two, and then basically alternated them day in and day out. You probably recognize them (black and...

Aspaeris Shorts Giveaway!

A few week back I got my very own Aspaeris pivot shorts in the mail....just in time to enjoy a month free from running thanks to a foot injury. Great timing, right? Originally I thought I would tuck the bad boys away for a while and pull them back out when I started running again. If I'm honest, I put these shorts on the first time just because I needed clean shorts for spinning. Plus, I figured the longer length would help me to not start a fire thanks to my inner thighs rubbing together. Once I started wearing them for that, I realized how comfortable they were. Putting them on might require sumo squats, but once they're on? Worth the gymnastics routine it takes to squeeze you in: I won't tell you how often I wear these shorts in a week. Because I don't do laundry that often, and you guys might get suspicious. I will say that they often come in the shower with me and hang up to dry afterwards, so I'm not completely nasty.  Now that I have had a few runs ...
