Well I hope everyone had as good of a weekend as I did! Besides having to work all weekend, I had an eventful weekend. Starting Saturday with a 5K in the beautiful Sellwood neighborhood to celebrate the opening of a new running store, Foot Traffic. I had to work the night before, so I just got off work and headed down to meet my BFF who was doing the run with me. BTW, I'm gonna mention my BFF a lot, and I feel it's so impersonal to keep calling her just "BFF" in all my posts, so I will start using her name, Dani! YAY! LOL! So if anyone reads this from here on out, you'll know who Dani is :)) Ok back to the run, so I worked graveyard the night before and at about 4am my stomach just turned to knots! I thought by 5am I was done for and wasn't gonna make the run. I took some Alka Seltzer and hoped my stomach would calm down, but getting closer to 5:30 it wasn't getting any better, so I sent Dani an email telling her I thought I might not make it but would keep her posted. Finally around 6:45 I was feeling totally fine again! YAY! I was gonna make it! I really was looking forward to doing this run with her. We met up a little before and walked around to warm up, oh a side note, I missed registration so I was sneaking in the run, but it was free anyways so I wasn't too worried. We also met up with another friend of Dani's and some of her friends, so we had a good little group. Overall it was probably one of my favorite runs! Dani and I stuck together the whole time and the day and scenery was beautiful!
The rest of my weekend consisted of dinner for a friends birthday and a Portland Trail Blazer game Sunday night! I won tickets earlier in the week so that was a fun surprise!
So my only run for the weekend was the 5K. Was hoping to get a longer run in, but my weekend was too full! So I started off my Monday with a 6.25 mile run with my favorite running buddy Maverick! We ran along the Tickle Creek trail, which is about a mile of our run, and Maverick took advantage and took a couple dips in the creek to cool off and play. The day was beautiful and it just inspires me to keep running! Hope I have inspired anyone who reads this too to KEEP RUNNING!

LOL, I love your title! Maverick looks so happy in the water, such a water baby! It was my fav run so far too, such beautiful scenery, thanks for holding back and pushing me, felt amazing!
