WEEKEND RECAP

Hubby has been training for a 50K for the past 4 months and race day finally arrived! We left on Friday and lucked out with sunny weather and a peaceful 6 hr drive to Spokane. While there, we stayed at The Beehive, a little cottage which I found on Air B&N. It was perfect! I could tell that the host truly put a lot of thought and effort into making it a cozy, home away from home experience!

                            

                                       

Once we settled in for the weekend, we headed out to dinner. Hubby chose to eat at Olive Garden, stating he had to eat all the carbs, in preparation for the 31 miles he would need to run on Saturday. I happily obliged and dinner was tasty! After dinner, we headed to a movie which was only playing in select theaters. After the movie, we headed back to our rental and headed to bed. We were totally wishing we hadn't stayed out so late :(

Saturday morning came quickly. We had a quick breakfast and then made the short drive to the race location. After checking in and once the race got started, I headed back to the house to get ready and kill some time before I had to return to the 22 mile mark! I hung around with the race volunteers until my hubby came through and that meant only 9 more miles to go! I can't even imagine running more than 4!! He finished strong and I am so proud that his hard work paid off :) We celebrated with dinner at Outback Steakhouse and went all out! After dinner we spent some time at Barnes & Noble (because we don't live near one so we have to take advantage when we can) and then went back and chilled for the rest of the evening.

Sunday was spent at an early church service and then we grabbed lunch and headed home to pick up our pup! Of course, we had to squeeze in like 3.5 hours of the World Series before calling it a night! We are glad to be home and looking forward to a low key week.
