Race #2- In the bag!

We had a GREAT time this weekend in Seaside/Seagrove!!!! The weather was amazing and that made it even better! This race was more about having fun a the beach than the run. We didn't really focus on our diet or how much wine we were drinking and it was a nice break:) It makes me feel kinda good about my running when I can do that (eat crappy & drink wine) and still run 13 miles. INSERT: pat on the back.

We got there right after lunch on Friday and immediately hopped on our bikes and rode down to Seaside (we were staying about 1/4 mile away at the Seagrove Villas). We ate lunch and the girls shopped around Seaside while the boys drove to Destin to get some "good" beers from Wine World. Friday night we ate dinner at Great Southern and went to bed early.

Saturday was GORGEOUS!!! We got up early and rode our bikes literally all day! From Water Color down to Rosemary Beach. That night we ate dinner at Red Bar. It was yummy!

Sunday was race day. The weather was perfect and we were excited about running in warmer temps:) Turns out riding my bike almost 15 miles on Saturday might not have been the best idea. My knee was killing me the entire 13.1 miles:( But I made it. I didn't do as well as I had in Birmingham (2 minutes slower to be exact) but Mary and Lyndsay ran 11 minutes faster than they did in Birmingham! I was so excited for them!

After the race, we laid around in the ampatheater and ate the free BBQ and had some adult beverages. We all ended up getting a little burnt but we didn't care. It was so nice just being in the sun! That afternoon we spent some time on the beach then ate dinner at a tapas place in Rosemary Beach.

Monday was another great day! None of us were ready to go home so we just rode around and did a little shopping in Seaside then headed over to the outlet mall in San Destin. We finally made it home about 8:30 Monday night.

It was a great trip and I was really a little depressed about being home:( Philip worked 2 days this week then headed to Vegas this morning (boo hoo for him!). I've got a baby shower Friday night and am having a little spa day with Lynday and Mary on Saturday and cannot wait! Honestly, I'm secretly excited about having a few days to myself ;)

Pictures coming soon!

Toodles!
