I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!

I’m pacing a fall marathon training group for Fleet Feet.  If you’re in the area, you should sign up to train with us!!  We had a really fun group for this week’s 12 miler!!

This was also Day 1 of my NYC Marathon training!

It was a super hot and humid run.  I looked like I had jumped in a pool, so this cold kiwi didn’t stand a chance when I got home!

Nothing says America, like tex-mex for lunch!

Jason and I went to downtown Franklin for their 4th of July festival.

And, we picked up a coffee and the greatest homemade oatmeal cream pie from Honest Coffee!!!

Sadly, we had big storms all night.  The local fireworks and grill-outs were cancelled.  We decided to go to Sunflower Cafe and I’m so glad we did.  Their vegan BBQ sliders were the bomb!

I had the gym to myself for a surprisingly good treadmill run.  My legs are still heavy from the North Fork 50 last weekend, so I stopped at 8 miles.  I’m not 100%, but grateful that my body has bounced back pretty quickly.

I met Jason at First Watch for a fruit and oats breakfast.

After rave reviews, I broke down and bought a Yeti mug.  Apparently they’re the greatest mug ever.  I’m curious to give it a try!

Kindness is magic…so is coffee.

The sun finally peaked out.  I got to enjoy our front porch while the patriotic swags were still up.

We had dinner on the Burger Up patio…salad with a quinoa patty and rose to drink.  Perfect!

How was your 4th?  Did anyone else have to cancel plans because of the rain?

Do you have any Yeti products?  Thoughts?

Are you running a fall marathon?  NYC?

Peak and Pit from the weekend?  Peak: A nice, low-key weekend!  Pit:  The rainy weather.
