4th of July Festivities & Race Recap {Link-Up #11}

I had a rather chill and relaxing holiday weekend. I was still feeling a bit blahh from some sort of summer cold that hit me last week so I took it pretty easy this weekend. I took a nice 60 minute barre class with Annie at Rev on Friday followed by refueling with my current fave Gundalow Juice and then getting some errands done. 

My outfit matched for once, even with my Mizuno Running #Enigma5 shoes! 

On Saturday morning I got up early for a long run with a friend and made sure to rock some patriotic gear. I felt great during my slow 10 miles and was happy we even beat the rain!

My boyfriend cooked ribs all day (they were AMAZING) and after stopping by the Monument Bicentennial and re-opening festivities, we lounged and watched Netflix before heading to a party and watching fireworks. Yes, I ate my weight in ribs on Saturday.  The fireworks are my favorite part of the holiday and Baltimore's did not disappoint!  

I made these awesome & festive mini cheesecakes from Skinnytaste-they were delicious and light!

I was asked to guest-host the Race Recap Link-Up again so please share your own race recaps and check these other ones out. I don't have any big races coming up, but I love reading about people's experiences in races near and far! 

Welcome to the 6th Race Recap Link-Up!! I love reading recaps from other bloggers. Its a great way to learn about different races, support other runners, and gain motivation. A recap is the final leg of the race. It’s your chance to relive your race and allow others some insight. The training miles, the race day jitters, the glory of crossing the finish line. the good - the bad - the ugly We want to hear it all….
