Time for a Race and Then a Little R&R

PARENTING, RACING

What a weekend! This past weekend my younger sister got married. We had gorgeous weather and everything went off beautifully. They were married at Nobska Light, and then we had the reception in my mother’s backyard.

On the Friday before the wedding, her in-laws hosted a beautiful rehearsal dinner at a location overlooking Quissett Harbor. The views were spectacular, especially at sunset. My brother-in-law’s brother put together a slideshow that literally had me in tears from the first slide.

Thanks Heather Sullivan for this beautiful pic!

What a party is all I have to say. I haven’t danced that hard in a long time! I guess my legs are in good shape though, because thankfully I wasn’t too sore the day after. It was so nice getting to see friends and family that I hadn’t seen in years and my sister looked absolutely stunning!

We are finally getting back to normal after the whirlwind weekend. The kids have been real troopers with all of the activity and lack of normal sleep. I can’t believe that my 2 year old actually slept until 11:30 yesterday  morning–I actually had to wake him up! That’s a record for sure in this household.

On a running note, I have two more runs before my first post-injury race. I am starting to get a little nervous. I am always nervous before races, but I am trying not to put too much pressure on myself for this one. My coach has set it up to be a “rust buster,” and we really want to get a sense of where my fitness is right now. I am a little less than 3 months out from the half marathon, so this will be the first progress report for my recent training. That being said, I would REALLY like to PR (the typical runner thought at the start of every race!).
