Two Weekends: Glennon and 10-miler

Weekend 1: Glennon

Two weekends ago, I (Kelsey) got to see one of my heroes and role models speak about one of her newest books. Glennon Doyle Melton is the author of Carry On, Warrior and Love Warrior (currently NYT bestseller and Oprah's book club pick). She writes the truth about her life as a mom, partner, and woman in recovery from alcoholism and an eating disorder. She's also become an activist for women and children worldwide and for those with mental health issues. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to hear her speak free of charge and nearby. 

Glennon!

I also ran into the Director of the nonprofit I volunteer with and we both got a picture with Glennon.

Weekend 2: Reston Perfect 10-miler

This past weekend, we also ran a 10-miler race with Kelly and Alex! Mike and I warmed up with 3 miles because we technically need to be running long distances. We all did really well and loved the cooler weather! I averaged just under 9 min miles and Mike averaged around 8 min miles, I believe.

Before the start of the race!

After with our medals! Then we headed to Ted's Bulletin for a solid recovery brunch.

Tomorrow, Mike and I are headed to Williamsburg to hang out with my family at Busch Gardens and I'm hoping the weather cooperates!
