Well hello! Hope your week is getting off to a great start. This past weekend was full of fun…running, relaxing and a trip to the State Fair of Texas!

Saturday morning I was up to watch the sunrise and get in some happy miles. Temps were darn near perfect hovering right around the 50s so I was excited for that. Hello, perfect running weather. Nice to see you again. Last double digit run before the marathon.
I’ve really been getting into podcasts lately and so I listened to the Run to the Top podcast. Great little resource to keep those miles going. Love the host Tina Muir (and her accent!) She’s also a blogger/elite marathoner/go getter. Love it. Check her blog out too whenever you get a moment.
After that it was just a lot of rest, I had some down time so I went to Saturday night church, and then had a date at the Gipsy Lime Taco Lounge. Perfect way to end the evening, right? I thought so. Cool place with some cozy couches, tv screens to watch the games and good food so I can’t complain.
Sunday I got in some quick easy miles in the morning…after I slept in of course. It was nice and hot out by about 9 am but it felt still felt good to be out and about and keeping the legs moving.
Then a little visit to the State Fair of Texas! Of course I had to get some cotton candy. We walked around a bit and did a little shopping.
Followed by some more relaxing at the wine garden under these lovely umbrellas. I kind of want to do this on my patio…not sure it would look as awesome as this though.
And now this week will be fairly chill leading up to next Sunday’s race! Bring on the Tyler Rose Marathon…6 days til 26.2 number 15!
How was your weekend? Did anyone check out a fall fair/carnival/festival?
I love your Texas State Fair posts. So fun! Call me completely out of the loop, but I have been hearing so much about Podcasts. How do I listen to them?
I just listen to this one in particular from the blog site, but if you have iTunes you can download them directly from there.
Ahhh… ok. Thanks
Anytime! 🙂 🙂
mm cotton candy!! I love fairs..used to go to the Orange County fair in Southern CA growing up…my fave!
Yeah I kind of want to go again because it’s going on for the next couple of weeks!
Awww thank you so much for the kind words! That really means a lot to me, and I am so glad you are enjoying! If you have anyone you would like me to interview, please let me know 🙂 Thanks so much 🙂 Happy Saturday!
You are quite welcome, Tina! Keep up the excellent podcasts – I listened to one of ’em this morning too!! I will definitely let you know if I come across a unique guest for you to interview!! 🙂
Nothing better than the FAIR and FOOD!!! It was super hot and crowded when we went this year 😦 And hope your marathon went great. I have done a half but dont know if I could do a full. 🙂
Oh you could go ALL THE WAY for sure! It’s a mind over matter thing! The fair was definitely crowded but a good time!!!
