Well, the title of this one is deceiving because I only ran once last week since I was attempting to rest my ankles. So instead of my usual recap, I will share a few fun things from the long weekend.
I had a jam-packed long weekend and definitely could’ve used an extra day off but hey, what can you do? The weekend started off with a crab feast (and straw-ber-ritas!) for a friend’s birthday. It was a fun evening and who doesn’t love beating the heat out of a crab with a mallet??
Saturday was the first college football Saturday and another near perfect day. I went to a bbq in the afternoon then watched my beloved Alabama Team run all over Virginia Tech. I then stayed up way too late watching football (hello, did anyone else see that Clemson / UGA game?? Crazy.)…but that is what you are supposed to do on Saturdays in the fall!
Sunday was full of food and more football – but of the fantasy type. I have joined a fantasy football league, hosted by a couple of my great friends. I had an absolute blast drafting my team and although I know NOTHING about fantasy football, I’m eager to learn 🙂 Below is my team so far — I will be picking more players (free agents) today, though! I managed to snag 2 former Alabama Players – Roll Tide!

Finally, I wrapped up Labor Day Weekend with an event that has become a tradition — Labor Day at Kings Dominion. This is the fourth year in a row I’ve gone and it is always a fantastic time. What’s funny is that by 4pm, I’m absolutely wiped! I have no idea how my parents did this with me every summer. We used to spend ALL day at the park and then they’d drive us home. Parents are super-people. 🙂
All in all, it was a great weekend. I ran again for the first time in a week this morning and while I am still experiencing pain, I’m learning how to manage it and using all the information I’m getting from PT. 🙂
How was your holiday weekend? Did you get in any running?
Awesome weekend! Your fantasy team looks like a juggernaut, especially with the Texans D at the helm 🙂
I knew you’d like that! I actually thought about you when I picked them 🙂
We had a crab feast a week ago – it was so fun! I ran this weekend, took the almost-4yo in the stroller in the midday heat. It was brutal. I am so out of the loop on football these days!
I am SO over this heat / humidity. It’s supposed to be getting better soon??
Sounds like a good week! =)
Thanks Betsy. I missed running, but still had a good week 🙂
I did run! I had a 10-miler on Saturday, and then I ran 2.5 yesterday (Monday). I also had my Fantasy draft on Saturday! Need to get my team in order for this week!
Nice! Oh thanks for the reminder to square everything for my team! I’d totally forget 🙂
What a super fun weekend!!! So happy football is back!
Me too!!
