Stay tuned for my detailed recap tomorrow!
Friday afternoon, I went for a fresh hair cut and color. I'm really dying to update my color a little once the weather is warmer. I'm thinking something like this:
I also made gnocchi with meat sauce for dinner Friday night {recipe coming soon}. DG and I were trying to be conscious of our food intake since we were running Sunday.
Saturday, I spent the day relaxing and trying to give my legs as much rest as possible. I did do some prep for work and the blog, but I did that from the comfort of our couch. I was so excited to receive this YSL Mascara False Effect Last Mascara to try from Influenster.
Our friend Mary threw a surprise party for her soon-to-be husband and we were so excited to attend. I unfortunately didn't bring my camera in so I don't have any pictures.
Sunday was our half marathon. I really tried to relax and not put too much pressure on myself, other than just to have a good time. Around mile 8.5, my right knee started killing me. It's been years since I felt that kinda pain, and I ended up walking most of the way at the end. I was pretty disappointed because I was doing really well at my split: 1:00 hour even; my official time ended up being 2:16. I texted Owen to see if she had any insight on what I should do because y'all, this ain't no joke.
After our run, DG and I went out for brunch before coming home to nap prepare for the week.

Alright, it's your turn to tell Biana and me all about your weekend. Be sure you stop back by this week for a fun giveaway and a recap of our Ladies' Night Out.
Sounds like a great weekend, minus your knee. I"m so sorry! That is awful. At lesat you still finished with a decent time!
ReplyDeleteThat hair color is so pretty! I'm back to growing my hair out now and oh God, give me patience, haha.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you messed up your knee. It must be so frustrating. On the plus side, that gnocchi looks delicious - I can't wait for the recipe! And yes to the hair color; yay for your Thursday night event! Happy Monday! Get some rest for the that knee.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the gnocchi recipe! I have been making pre-made gnocchi and sauce for awhile, but something is off. It will be good to try something different. Big congrats on you marathon, you rock!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic HM time! Good job!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the hair color inspiration, it will look awesome for Spring and Summer. Girl you still killed that half marathon and with a hurt knee?! Impressed!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for running that half (sorry your knee gave out!). I need to get serious about running/ working out again because I've been such a slacker. Especially with bikini season coming up... Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great weekend! The event looks great just from the few pictures here and I can't wait to read more about it. I also hope your knee is feeling better and you can figure out how to have that not happen again! - Svetlana

I literally just drooled over your brunch. So proud of you for finishing your race!! Hope that knee is a little better today… about to text you ;)
ReplyDeleteSuch a bummer about your knee - hope it's feeling back to normal soon! And gnocchi with meat sauce, YUM. One of our favorite recipes! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad I missed you at the Moon & Lola party!! Isn't that store gorgeous?!

First of all, THANK YOU for planning such a fun event last Thursday. I'm sure a lot of hard work went into contacting all the businesses. Secondly, I feel your pain with the knee. I used to run half-marathons and then just had to stop because of my knees :( But congratulations on the run! Always an impressive accomplishment!
