Mother's Day

It may seem like a Father's Day thing to do but I really had been wanting to go to TopGolf and check it out so that's what the family (by family I mean Josh) planned for the day. It was great--lots of fun and great food too!












My First Race!

One of the podcasts I listen to is called Another Mother Runner and they have race training plans you can sign up for and become part of a Facebook group for tips and encouragement. In January, I decided to try something different than just "going out for a run" and signed up for the 10K plan. I felt like a 5k was too easy because I was already running about 3 miles at a time. It was really fun having different workouts to try for speed and for endurance. I couldn't have asked for a better race. It was actually kind of cold the morning of the race, it was a small race, and the course was so flat compared to where I'm used to running. My race time was 55:52.2   I came in 22nd overall out of 77, 6th out of 12 in my age group, and 15th out of 61 for women.







Myrtle Beach State Park


Playing catch-up here so I'm back to Spring Break. Luke and I had the best morning hike at Myrtle Beach State Park. I can't remember all the names of the different snakes but they seemed to be everywhere and he loved it. The bright green one is a rough green snake and he just happened to wander off the path and spot it. They are really fast so he was excited to be able to hold it.

River Life

Sunshine, snakes, magnet fishing, and moonstone in the rock tumbler- just a few fun things about life on the river😊
