July 4th Weekend

July 5, 2011 by Kristy 11 Comments

7/5/11
7 miles speed
6 x 800m in 3:28.  Actual times: 3:26, 3:27, 3:27, 3:25, 3:24, 3:24 <– fastest 800m I ever ran! 

Another weekend, another weekend down the shore!  We spend the majority of the weekend at my parents house with the exception of Saturday night.  My friend Michelle is staying in Wildwood for the week with her family so we headed there for a night of (sensible) drinking!

The weekend in pictures…

At Coconut Cove in Wildwood.  Most of the bar has a sand floor.  So nice to take your shoes off and let your feet sink into the sand!

We love Key West.  For our 30th birthdays, we did a big group trip down there.  Those pictures will not be posted on the blog 😉

Next stop was Keenan’s…always a favorite.

Sunday was a BBQ at my parents’ house.  Hawk hammed it up for the camera.

My sister and sister-in-law.

My niece Catherine.  Hawk got lots of attention this weekend.

My niece Sarah (aka, mini-me).

A crazy thunderstorm rolled in at night.

Back to the grind today but fortunately it’s a short week!  Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend!

    Oh you are SO cute, I love the picture of you and your dog on the water! Nice job on the SUPER fast 800s – that’s amazing! I wish I could go to the beach…but having time off to hit our apartment pool is pretty good too!

    Is this Wildwood, NJ you speak of? I haven’t been there in YEARS. I’m talking mid-80s, when girls used to tease their hair with aqua net and guys wore t-shirts that were ripped above their belly button. Oh, the 80s.

    You look great. Now, you have toned arms… I’m sure the bulk of that is from running, but do you also do upper arm weights? I do a few, but still can’t get my arms in perfect shape… ;o)

      Oh yes, the infamous Wildwood, NJ! The guys there still resemble the 80s…well maybe more Jersey Shore than anything!

      Thanks! I don’t do upper arm weights (I desperately want to but running always take precedence). Most of it is from running though.
