This weekend I did so much yet not enough. Seriously weekends fly by. More fun and less chores, which is a good balance for a change. That means I have another busy week ahead of me though. I'm glad to report that this mid-summer weekend had many marvelous parts.
The bad
Hottest day of the year so far? Check.
Humidity makes for a really sweaty run and a post-long run smiley face of sweat coincidentally on my "Run Happy" shirt. Ending a run drenched is a bit unpleasant.
Still having a huge to-do list after the weekend is over.
The weekend only lasting two days. I need at least three!
Feeling really tired from a busy week led to two rest days this weekend. Good for my body, bad for my training because I wanted at least another easy run in this week.
The good
New cell phone FINALLY. Went from the Samsung Galaxy S3 to the S6. Huge difference and my camera looks fabulous!
Thursday I took an awesome barre class with REV on the Four Seasons pool deck with a post-class cocktail and some pool-side relaxation. Look at that view!
Sushi for dinner on Saturday
Sleeping in on Sunday mornings Maybe the best part of the weekend?
Farmer's markets and copious amounts of iced coffee.
Artscape arts festival in Baltimore all weekend. I love seeing all the art, performances, and eclectic groups of people drawn out to the festival. Stay weird, Baltimore.

Getting up for a long run at 5 AM with friends on Saturday, feeling good overall and refueling, and then taking a 3 hour nap.
Making some delicious zoodles & sausage for dinner inspired by a dish from Lindsay's Instagram.

| Zoodles, onions, chicken sausage,and avocado-yum! |

Hello via MIMM! I love those sweaty runs... you feel so productive, even if you hated the run during it! I completed my fourth half ironman this weekend and had a blast doing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and HOLY CONGRATS on finishing your 4th half Ironman-you go!
DeleteIf it makes you feel better, it's miserably hot and humid in San Diego too. Such weird weather!! At least all the sweating is like a detox sauna. LOL!
ReplyDeleteAh that makes it a little better-I always think San Diego has perfect weather!
DeleteOne year I'll make it up to Artscape! Saw some pretty neat things on IG.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun festival albeit being really hot.
DeleteI live in Baltimore as well! Although I didn't go to Artscape, I heard awesome things and I recognized the inner harbor in your Four Seasons picture...I thought it looked familiar...
ReplyDeleteWhich market did you go to? I"m partial to the Waverly market...

I love meeting fellow Baltimoreans! I usually go to the Baltimore Farmer's Market under 83/JFX because I can walk to it. I've heard good things about Waverly but never ventured out there!
DeleteWhat a wonderful weekend you had! I am a native Baltimorean, and it does my heart good to see the continued fight of those who live there to make it awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is so fabulous to hear :)
DeleteLooks like a great weekend! I have never been to Baltimore but I'm attending a conference there in September and I'm very excited to visit!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Definitely hit me up for recommendations or to grab a drink!
DeletePost long run naps are THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteThey are so satisfying!
DeleteCan we institute a mandatory 3-day weekend every weekend - especially in the summer?? Haha.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I know some people who get Fridays off in the summer :(
DeleteSounds like a fun wkend. It's always nice when you can get a nap in. That dish looks delicious. I love anything with avocado in it.
ReplyDeleteI also love anything with avocado! It's the best!
DeleteAfter my race this weekend I felt like I jumped in a swimming pool. I'm going one step farther and saying there should be a 4-day weekend. Post long run naps are my absolute favorite!
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to be greedy, but I'll jump on board with 4 day weekends for sure!
DeleteI feel like everyone is talking about how hot it was this weekend. Good thing you got that long nap. Man I could sure go for one right about now. Ha!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I don't know what it was this weekend!
DeleteLooks like a fabulous weekend! Gorgeous views!!!

Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteCan you believe I've never been to Artscape?! It was super hot & humid back in PA too but I just kept reminding myself what a long terrible winter it was and then I'm good!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun festival! You should definitely check it out one year.
