Sometimes Life Gets in the Way

…and that’s okay.

This post could have many titles,

  • long run fail
  • reunion weekend
  • long walks through the city

But instead of focusing on what I didn’t do we’ll focus on what I have done the last 24 hours. A year ago I would stressed out today, trying to figure out how I’ll make up the miles. But these days, I’ve learned that embracing life is more important than any training plans.

This weekend, two of my sorority sisters, Robin and Alison, ventured up to New York City for a good old fashioned girls weekend. In fact, I was humored and also quite relieved when they said they had nothing on their weekend wish list other than to catch up, enjoy manicures and pedicures, and a few long walks.

It’s hard to believe that this picture was taken almost six years ago as it feels like yesterday that we were enjoying $2 tall boys and belting out the words to Vidalia.

Since they arrived last night, we’ve enjoyed dinner lots of wine, a delicious dinner at Barbounia, slept off the wine, walked through the city for three hours, and enjoyed blissful manicures and pedicures.

While it wasn’t the 8 mile run that I had planned today, it was far better because I was able to spend hours catching up with these ladies.

Hope you’re embracing life today too!
