friday five: five good things

April 4, 2015      15 Comments

Actually, it’s kind of like the Lego Movie. It’s Friday Five! But on a Saturday!

Another Friday! And that means we are linking up for the Friday Five, with three amazing DC area bloggers: Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC.  Feel free to join the fun with your own Friday Five post and be sure to visit and comment on the other blogs on the linkup!

Our topic for this week is Five Good Things.

1. This guy.

Even though he’s a Jets fan, I’m darn grateful to have met him all those years ago at the bar at Bru’s. I know I totally get on his nerves (a lot), but we make a pretty good team and there’s no one with whom I would rather be on this journey of life.

2. This guy.

There are no words for how much I love him. He hung the stars in my sky. I can’t remember my world before him.

3. These guys.

I absolutely adore animals, especially ones with smushy faces. If we could, I would have an entire ranch of pugs and bullies and boxers and bostons. We are hopeful to add to our family of bagel-tailed cuties sometime this summer. Fingers crossed.

4. Friends and family.

Obviously, not all pictured.

We are so fortunate to be surrounded by so much love and support, every day.

5. Our life.

I know it sounds hokey, but it’s true. I wouldn’t trade our life for anything. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours.

 

Tell me five good things this weekend. Share in the comments or create your own blog post. Please sure to join in the linkup!

    Awww this is the sweetest!

    I actually like number 5 the most only because how often do we truly step back and appreciate how good things are at the end of the day?

      I hate to be cheesy, but … I think so many times we do tend to focus on the negatives and what we don’t have. And I’m grateful, every day, for what we do.

    Being a major family person myself, I love that your good things were all about your family! My sons and daughter-in-law were here for Easter dinner, and I can’t tell you how much fun we have when we all get together!

    You definitely have a lot of things to be thankful for! My list would be really similar to yours except subtract 1 dog and add 1 kid. LOL

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
