It’s the Annual Christmas in August on Log Bay party. Hundreds of boats tied together, a live band, lots of food, drink and fun!
It is always the most awesome day on the lake of the summer:
2010 – brrr!
2011 – hot!
2012 – just perfect!
2013 – cloudy but it didn’t rain
2014 – maybe we’re due but the forecast is for rain!! Oh no!
Fingers crossed that I get some boating and RUNNING in this weekend.
Happy Running! What do you have planned for the weekend?
How is that possible? On August 10???
Since I started running in 2008, my favorite place to run has been Bolton Landing where we go boating every weekend.
I used to go up every Saturday, sleep on the boat and then run there Sunday morning. Sometimes I would take Friday or Monday off and we would spend two nights on the boat and I could run two mornings in Bolton Landing. (In the beginning, we used to stay on the islands and I would make my hubby go back into town in the morning so I could run.)
This summer, however, I have been boating only for one day each weekend and not sleeping on the boat. Many reasons….long runs, races, other things to do on the weekend, etc.
So I was really excited to spend the WHOLE weekend here this past weekend. And the weather could not have been better.
After my 10K race on Saturday, I drove around the lake to the marina and spent the rest of the day floating around and reading on the boat.
We barbecued dinner by the moonlight.
And then I got up bright and early the next morning.
After some breakfast, I headed out to run.
First I ran north to the public beach and then back out toward the Sagamore.
Unfortunately, it was too early in the morning for the waterlilies to be open.
I ran around Sagamore Island for a bit.
Then I ran on the nature trail.
Soon it was time to head back to the marina.
I only ran 3.8 miles and I stopped often to take pics. After Saturday’s hilly 6.2 miles, it was nice to take it easy.
My hubby was patiently waiting when I got back to marina so we could take the boat out for brunch.
Maybe if it is nice next weekend, I’ll get to sleep on the boat and take another run in Bolton Landing. Like the good old days.

Every Friday, three DC area bloggers Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC to host the Friday Five linkup. Anyone can join with their own Friday Five post (yes, it must be a Friday Five!!) They encourage you to visit other blogs on the linkup, comment, share and engage!
This week, the theme is Five Things About July 4th:
1. Time Off – you never have to work on July 4th. Yay!
hope to be doing a lot of this (with a drink & a book in each hand)
2. Red, White and Blue. Lots of flags and patriotic clothing.
3. Picnics & BBQs. A time to pig out with friends.
4. Boating & Swimming. Rain or shine we go out on our boat.
5. Fireworks. Love them! We get to watch them at our marina.
Yes, there are races that I would LOVE to run but you can’t do everything.
this crowded race is in Saratoga…someday…maybe?
Happy Running! How do you spend July 4th!
