Running Through Grad Parties & Sunglasses!

Loren rarely travels away from home but got a great invitation to travel with our friend to Denver. He was gone from Wednesday through Sunday which meant a busy weekend for me. I have to say I am so Thankful for my husband and all that he adds to my life. I take him for granted a lot and don’t realize the support he really is to me and our entire family. I missed him and was so happy for him to be home. Sometimes you don’t realize what you got ‘till it’s gone…I should write a song about that…oh shoot, someone beat me to that.

Anyways I say all this because I wasn’t sure if I would get another run in this weekend. (How do all you single parents do it?) We have had a great weekend in Washington with some wonderful, warm, SUNNY weather. I was looking forward to getting a run in to help turn my bad 10 miles around in my head. The only way to fix a bad run is to do another run! I was able to get 4 great miles in and enjoy the houses filled with graduation parties. I think I saw 4 or so parties going on in my short blossom drive loop. The smell of hot dogs is not that great when you’re running and I like hot dogs. Ok…back to my run…had a great pace going and was feeling good. Oh and I was really excited because after a year of running I finally got a pair of running glasses! I was looking forward to trying them out and I LOVE THEM. Sports sunglasses don’t win a lot of awards in the looks department and are so $$$. Glasses cost more than my running shoes…I don’t think so. I found a great pair online at Road Runners for $35.99 and they are PINK. They were the first pair I didn’t hate when I first looked at them…they still look sporty, but hey…you have to compromise in this running world.

Sporting the news shades and the skirt, well the skirt isn't new.
