Where does the time go?

Well, we certainly have a lot of catching up to do....

For the 1 year anniversary, we had lots of fun, enjoyed our patio, a Riesling, and this (yum):

and ate some delicious seafood followed by a movie. Throughout our entire break, we just really enjoyed ourselves, both relaxing and keeping up with our training plan, and I'll even venture to say that I had even more fun than I did on our honeymoon (which is pretty good since unwinding on a beautiful tropical island is hard to beat).

After our stay-cation weekend, it was back to a full week of work for both of us. I think we were both a little worried about how well we could maintain a thorough training schedule. I won't lie, by Thursday, I really needed a break - but we both pushed through and had an amazing week. Here's what we did:

Mon - ran a shorter version of the Hyde Park Blast course - really helped us get a feel for the route before the race

Tue - cross training @ the gym

Wed - ran the full 4-mile course of the Hyde Park Blast - 54 minutes

Thu - spinning with "Jillian" @ the gym

Fri - recovery day (finally!)

Sat - Hyde Park Blast (more on that next)
