Great running blogs and a relaxing rest day...

Rest days are just as important as full on training days. So yesterday Willie and I packed a lunch and met some friends and went to the beach for the day. If you have never been to the Gulf Coast and put your feet in the white sand, your missing out.
Especially when you get to spend the day with some of your best friends.
My gorgeous friend Tiffany, who is expecting twins and looks fantastic.I also spent the day with Melanie and family, but somehow we didn't take any pictures:(

This is my friend Storky, he was cool and he hung out with us all day:)
This is my youngest child Willie, he is a beach bum. He loves it.

Now on to a few really cool blogs. I am excited about these blogs, they are all about running and the reality of running. And not to mention most of these people are super fast.

1.Run Like a Girl, and Mean It this is my good friend Rebecca and one of the fastest friends I have. She is a track coach and teacher here locally. I have learned a lot from her about running. Check out her blog for all her racing updates and coaching techniques.

2.Runninghood She writes about balancing life as a mom and marathon runner.I think every running parent can relate to her post.

3.Mom against the Marathon Meggan does an amazing job of recapping her races. Its amazing, you almost fell like your there with her. As a 2:49 marathoner, she is crazy fast. Check her out if you like full on recaps.

  3. I love the beach. I'm close but yet so far away from beach. Literally like 10 or so miles but it takes 30-40 mins in idiotic traffic so its far from 'restful' for me...but I love the beach...and I'm with Heather...birds creep me out! lol

  6. Beach and a book makes me happy. Too bad it's a little bit of a drive. I have to settle for the grass and a book most days. :)
