Hope you’re all having a fantastic weekend. We are in Venice. We came down Friday with my in-laws and are having a blast. Here’s a little recap of the weekend in pictures….

And you cannot leave the Groves without Orange and Vanilla Ice Cream! It taste just like a creamsicle. I would share but it’s long gone…

I think this is the clubhouse for Lakewood Ranch, but I couldn’t get over the bar…it was pretty awesome.

After the Expo, we headed to the Nokomis Drum Circle. If you ever come to Venice or Casey Key, this is a do not miss!

There are bellydancers and hula hoopers and some people who really can’t dance at all and sort of spaz out all over. I like watching them all.
This morning, I woke up at 3AM, headed down to Lakewood Ranch and just a little after 9am, I completed my first half marathon and first race of the year!
I’ll do a full recap later but for now, I’m a bit tired, a bit under the weather, and hella hungry!
Did you run a race this weekend? How was it?
I can almost taste that orange and vanilla ice cream through my monitor, Yum! Congrats on your first race of the year. Can’t wait to see your recap. My first race isn’t till March, so I’m living races vicariously through all the blogs I read.
Good luck on your first race, at least you have some time to train…I need to work on my training…I tend to over commit, 🙂 And that ice cream is the best!
Looks like a great day!! A beautiful one too! Looking forward to your race recap! I ran my first race of the year, a 5k virtual race. I posted about it under “Making some changes”.
That ice creams looks so good! I ate really bad this weekend so I’m sick of bad foods for a while. I love the colors on your race “bling”.
Congrats on your 5k and don’t worry I ate really, really bad this weekend too. Maybe we can motivate each other to do better 🙂
Looks like a great time! Get well.
Thanks Rich! It was fun and I was just glad to get one in for the first of the year.
Congrats on completing another half! Hope you feel better quickly.
Thanks, I’m resting up for the next one on Saturday 😉
