This summer has been an attempt of balancing work, running, eating healthy and events.
One of my favorite events every summer is my beastie’s Birthday!!!!
And by party I mean 8 of us got all dressed up and headed to dinner on a patio on the lakeshore.
Vacation is great!
Monday morning we were up nice and early…..I even managed to convince Shane to come for a quick 5 K run with me!
Seriously!
Look!
Last Friday we packed up the car and headed to Kingston for the weekend! I was pretty tired even before we left since I worked all week and was up at 4:15 everyday…..
My Stepdad and I had been planning my Mom’s surprise 50th Birthday Party for a couple months and it was Father’s Day weekend……so definitely a busy couple of days laid ahead!
Every year we go to The Food and Drink Fest
It always feels like the official kick off to Summer. This year they changed locations, so it didn’t have quite as many vendors but there was still tons of choices!
So before I start here, just a side note…….When you are chatting with your Mother on the phone (Who just came back from Mexico yesterday) and she asks you if you’ve ever had Brazilian……clarify what she means before answering! How was I supposed to know she meant a Brazilian Steakhouse a la carte restaurant at their resort??
I really was hoping it would warm up enough to get outside for a run but no luck…..brrrr…… Screw that! 
I powered up for my run with 1/2 a grapefruit that I sprinkled with stevia and cinnamon and then broiled in the oven…..tastes so much better this way then cold.
I also has some of the C4 pre workout. Just needed that extra kick today!
I felt pretty strong on my run today. Here is what I did
I also did a .5 Mile warm up and a .5 Mile cool down (This picture is just of the interval run). My goal is to get up to 6 Miles in under 50 Minutes. Almost there.
Yikes ……It is definitely a hair washing day!
I am so so excited…..Big Brother Canada 3 starts tonight!!!!!!!! I wish I had tried out like I wanted to! Every year I always say I am going to the casting but never do……ugh…
Shane and I are heading to my our friends place to watch.
And have some wine and naughty food of course!
Why can’t wine have protein in it? sigh
My good friend Julie invited us (Shane and I) out for her partners Birthday at a local pub. Adult bevies, some munchies and lots of laughs!
Shane was definitely having a good night!
I am so happy that they moved close to us! I am not from this area so it is great to have such good friends so close! Monday morning I will definitely be hitting the pavement to burn off that wine! I am hoping to get in a 15 km run if the weather cooperates!
