#RunFree4Me & Memorial Day

Did a loop near the house today. It has been our first sunny day in over a week. It's actually pretty warm out today too! 68 degrees!!



Do any of you follow Cori @ Olive to Run? She has hosted a #runfree4me challenge this month and every single one of my runs I did this way. No GPS, no music. Just me and the road. I even did my mother's day 5k that way.

Do you ever run tech free? 

I actually don't own a wrist GPS so that wasn't too hard. Lol. But, I do have the Nike+ system that hooks up to my iPod nano. I usually run with it, but if I run with friends I go sans headphones so we can chat.

However, there is always that day that would come at least once a week where I would want to run without any tech. Probably like yourselves, I already know the distance of almost every possible route so I don't really need anything to track me unless I really want to know my exact paces.

It's Memorial Day! A lot of my family have served or are currently part of the military. So a little shout out to my brother for serving & protecting our country: Love you & thank you Christopher!

Some memorial day fun:

Boys don't need toys. Just a cooler.

Fire pit tonight, lawn mowing, a little kiddie
golf, soccer, and sandbox play

My dad is apparently just a big kid. 
Riding Noah's bike

An awesome papa took the boys out to the ice 
cream truck for some chocolatey cones

Yum


Happy Memorial Day!

What did you do this weekend?

Any family members in the military?

  3. Did my loops around the campground with the pup and even a little zumba inside the dance barn there! That is all I could get in with 3 loooong days of heavy rain.

  4. LOL I love that you said 68 was warm. That would be a cold front here! We got up to 90 yesterday.

    1. Wow! Yeah, we are supposed to finally get into the 80s starting Thursday this week. But 68 was very warm compared to the high 40s low 50s we had been having.

  5. Sounds like a great weekend! Aside from the weather not cooperating for us new englanders, but we're tough- a little 40 degree rainy weather in late may isnt going to slow us down, amirite? :) I'm SO excited for the upper 80s we're expecting this week :) enjoy your tuesday chica!
