here we goooo

Hi all 🙂 This weekend was so much fun ❤

My birthday is this coming up wednesday and my parent’s gave me an early birthday gift….

TA DA!  the garmin forerunner 305! I’m so so so excited because this week is the beginning of my half marathon training program. I tested it out saturday morning and loved it. I loved all the stats it gave me, and how it showed my pace througout the run. There’s so much to learn about it, but I can’t wait to figure it all out! This is going to give me the extra oomph I’m going to need for this half. I’m nervous about it, bc running has seemed extra hard lately with the weather, but i’m excited about pushing myself and learning my limits and exceeding the expectations I have always had about me and running. This is a lifelong goal that I am so anxious for its ridiculous. Training begins today…. here we gooo!

This Saturday morning after my run I headed to a new local farmers market about a mile away from my house. My roomie Lauren and I got to walking, and checked out the goods. We picked up some sweet corn, cherries, a pastry from the bakery stand, and some fresh squeezed lemonade. On the way home we decided to walk through a beautiful neighborhood and ended up at a beautiful part of the harbor. It was absolutely gorgeous. We relaxed and chatted and soaked up some sun. It was a beautiful morning.

While we were relaxing we saw a lady riding a scooter and scootin her little shitzu along with her. This cracked me up! She said that the pup would get tired from walking too long, but her other dog loveeed long walks so she would sit him on the scooter and ride him around. She said he absolutely loved it. Look at his face, ah so ridiculously cute. Jasmine, this reminded me of Lily 🙂

I met up with my mom and my sister at a local greek restaurant for dinner and had the chicken souvlaki platter with sauteed summer squash. This is always my g0-to here, and its got some amazing flavor. My sister got the same meal and we boxed up our leftovers and had practically a full dish left. They give you so much food here!
