It began with a six mile run/walk with my TEAM along the waterfront of Portland. Is there any better place to be on a walk than a beautiful city, along the water with great company to chat with? I think not.
I've been really proud of myself this past month for sticking with my plan of more movement and healthier nutrition choices. It's not always easy, but seeing the payoff has made it all worth it.
Saturday afternoon/evening I took off for the Oregon Coast with a couple of friends, Jenn and Shannon. Jenn had scheduled a few photo shoots through her studio and Shannon and I were tagging along to help hold the reflector when necessary, and just have fun really. It was a BEAUTIFUL day on the beach, and running around in the sand and ocean was just what my soul needed!
Sunday was spent reflecting, meditating, and chatting with a couple of great friends I haven't seen for a while. It was also a day my soul (and heart) needed. Tears were shed, hugs were shared, and all of it was necessary.
I'm linking up this week with Sami to share my weekend shenanigans. Check out her site and link up too!
What did you do this weekend? Was it a good one?
Yay for tagging along at a photo shoot! Sounds like a lot of fun - proud of your 6 miles too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend. I love running on the waterfront- such a beautiful place for it!
ReplyDeleteI like how you said it was a "day your soul (and heart) needed." Those are sometimes hard but usually always end better than began. I'm glad you have more peace and stronger friendships now. I had a hard go-around with a good friend several years ago and I think it made us even stronger as we forgave and pushed past...even through tears.
ReplyDeleteGotta be jealous of your weekend that included TWO waterfronts- river and ocean!
ReplyDeleteMan, I have never run 6 miles in my life! Good for you, I bet it feels great! I kind of feel like I am going to die after a 5k, but I also feel really good about myself. If I ran 6 miles I would probably feel like superwoman :)
