Big Weekend - No run (Grad & B-day)

Today was my first day back on the road after 4-days of celebration.  My son turned 18 on Friday and graduated High School on Saturday.  We were blessed in having family come in from Southern California and Canada to help us celebrate and honor his accomplishments.  The weekend weather was awesome which made the weekend events that much easier.  We had 18 for dinner after the graduation and then 25+ on Sunday for his birthday.  It was great for guests to be able to be out on the deck and the kids in the yard - even warm enough that a water-balloon fight broke out.  It was a very special weekend with family and friends.


I took today off to get my parents to the airport and catch my breath after going non-stop of the last four days.  Got on the road for a run around 2:30 and logged 8.5 miles in another sunny and 70-degree day.  Feels good to get the legs working and it was helpful to work off all the good food we ate during the celebration.  A big week at work but want to get weekly mileage back over 30-miles per week (only got 16-miles in last week running Sun thru Wed) and starting today with 8.4 is a decent start.
