Parties, Running and a New Baby

An unexpected four day weekend…I’m finally back at work and rested!

It started Friday. I took the day off because our marina was having its annual customer appreciation party. I got there late because I had a dr’s appt to get measured for orthotics. It was a good thing because I missed the rain! I didn’t miss all the food!!!!!

We then went to celebrate a friend’s birthday and ended the evening with a walk to the Sagamore (& an expensive drink) to admire the view.

The next morning I went for my usual run around the Sagamore. This time I took my camera. Here are some of the highlights:

Buggy ride anyone?

some flowers in front of the hotel

I ran about 5 miles – the same slow pace – still discomfort and the scenery makes it worth the pain.

Then we went out on our boat. For the first time this summer, we didn’t get an island site. We rafted with our friends on Log Bay, swam and had lunch.

meatballs & sausage lunch in the water

When we got back to shore, we headed to another party – this time another friend’s marina party where there was lots of food, drink & music.

While at the party, we decided to go out later for a moonlight cruise. Our friends picked us up at our marina and we decided to dock at the Sagamore (not sure if this was allowed but we did it anyway.)

We hung out for while outdoors looking at the stars, etc.

Sunday morning, I wanted to go for a run but I knew that I better not risk it so I went for a swim at the beach next to our marina.

We spent the rest of the day waiting for the rain (which didn’t come til 5 pm) and celebrating our friends’ anniversary with special bbq.

: cheers to 29 years!

Yum..steak...

grilled smores for dessert

finally rain

Monday I went out for my before work run – it was nice and cool – just perfect but I only had time for 3 miles. When I got home…guess what? My mentee, Amanda texted me that she was in labor!!!!

Off to the hospital I sped and I got to be there for the WHOLE thing!!! She did it all without any medication!!! And he’s gorgeous!! (I mean the baby is…)
