anticipation of a busy weekend

This weekend is going to be a busy one. As you may already know our daughter just turned 2 and we are having a big party for her this weekend. There is so much stuff that needs to be done before I'm ready to have all of these guests at our home. Tomorrow I will have work until Noon then I will try and shoot out to grab myself an outfit for the party before heading to the Doctor at 2PM. Once I finally get home lets say at 3PM I will immediately start baking. I need to bake most of the treats on Friday because our niece Daisha is having her Birthday Party on Saturday. Saturday morning my goal is to get in 20 miles before leaving for the party. At 5PM I will need to be at the Convention Committee Meeting and then when that is all done Jim and I are going to a game night at our friends Corey & Robin's. Sunday morning I will need to some serious sanity and serious strength. My goal is to bake bread, run will the bread is rising, and then come back pop the bread in the oven shower and get this party on its way! I am so grateful that the forecast is looking gorgeous for both Daisha's and Leona's parties, plus it will make for nice running weather as well. Please pray for me. I tend to get pretty high strung when I am having people over at my house. I know it will all work out because my awesome family and friends are going to help me get everything together. Leona is going to have a blast and her bubble themed party.

How cute are her invites? I ordered them on Etsy : ForeverYourPrints

I did it, it's over and I feel fine!

Sunday was an amazing day that I will always remember! The week leading up to race was a rainy mess. We had threats of a hurricane hitting the coast and we were preparing for the worst. My biggest fear was that weather was going to cause the race to be canceled. The show went on and we had no rain on race day. The temps were cool and the sky was overcast as we pulled up to the race. The Blues Cruise 50K Trail Run accepts 400 runners, the event had nearly reached its capacity as the runners were gathering around the Day Use Pavilion at Blue Marsh anxiously awaiting the 8:30 AM start. I felt great. I was confident in my training but still a little nervous about running my longest distance to date. My goal for the day was to finish. My desired time for the race changed a number of times from when I first signed up for the event. My unrealistic expectation were dismissed while training when I realized how slow my pace got the further I was running on the trails. I was so grateful

50 Miles of Bliss!

I can not possibly put into words the exact feelings I had about crossing the finish line of the NorthFace Endurance Challenge in DC over the weekend. I trained long and hard for this event. I doubted myself over and over again during the weeks leading up to 4/28/18 but knew I had to give it a go. Driving down to DC the night before the race with my husband and friends I started to feel excited but my nerves were still high. I was thrilled that my husband and Kelly came down to support Miki and I as we attempted another 50 miler. Lets back track for a moment. In 2016 I trained for a 50 mile event that had a 14 hour cut off. The race was a total wash. It rained the entire week before the race and then the whole duration of the event. The trail conditions were so poor that it made running extremely difficult for me. I spent hours and hours walking a sliding in the mud. My attitude was terrible. I had such high hopes for that event and they were crushed by poor weather. I c
