Long Weekend Recap

With this past weekend being what many consider “the start of summer,” I thought I would share some photos. First off, let’s start with the Runner’s World #RWRunStreak… Memorial Day was the first day of the Summer Challenge to run (at least) a mile a day from Memorial Day to Independence Day. I saw a lot of messages and mentions of people taking on the challenge. Good luck to everyone.

“Pardon My Streaking” badge for Instagarm, Twitter and Facebook.

Next up, it was my birthday on Sunday. Thank you to everyone that sent me messages, it was very nice of all of you. I want to send out a special thank you to Kierston for sending me this. How awesome is she? Thanks K. It was FU-mazing!

The past few years, I have attempted to run my age, which usually means signing up for a 50k… this year, I did the opposite. I took the entire weekend off. That’s right. 4 days of NO running… shocker, I know. Instead I got to enjoy some family time!

The First Lady helps put candles on the cake.

Then of course we had to eat it!

And as is tradition, we celebrate Mika’s birthday on Memorial Day. She was born some time during May and since my birthday always falls around Memorial Day, we celebrate hers as well. She gets to enjoy her own personal cookie and ice cream, both made for dogs. She turned 8 this year and she will forever be my puppy.

The “birthday girl.” Like her hat?

And that is how we celebrated the weekend.

There a couple things that end this week, check em out below!

WHAT? Are you ok????

Happy birthday to you and Mika! Sounds like a great weekend. Sometimes that off time is really valuable for the mental break, as well as the physical break.

Happy Belated Birthday! It looks like you had a fun, relaxing birthday weekend with your family. Not only do we both have Mika dogs but we both share the same birthday! I didn’t take a break from running though…we happened to run a 5k on Sunday evening. It was fun to run with my family on my birthday. :)
