Weekend Recap!

Here I sit procrastinating a school assignment :) I've done a lot today & am finally sitting down to do some work, but thought I would throw in a post first!
I had a pretty good weekend of running. I ran 5 miles on Saturday after I got home from class around town.  Felt pretty good & still had energy to walk around Steppin' Out. I ran 5 miles again today, but this time on the Huckleberry.  A friend and I decided to start at the "mall side" and run into Blacksburg for a change -- and let me tell you, it was a nice change! I've decided I like running from that direction more :)

Huckleberry Trail

I love having such a great trail to run on! It's 5.76 miles altogether, but they are adding on to it! Part of the Hokie Half Marathon will be run on the trail. I ran Saturday a little faster than I ran Sunday, but I am okay with that.  It ain't called a Sunday stroll for nothing.   Steppin' Out was super fun, as always!

 Just a little snapshot of what the day was like.  Everything was great this year - the vendors, the food and the music! The headliner on Saturday night was Laura Reed. So much fun - especially when her encore song was Killing Me Softly. Yup, jam time.   My purchases this year were a spoon ring (which I've been searching for the past couple of years) and three super cute prints from This Sweet Season :) She has an Etsy shop so YOU can buy some too! I love her work and will post a picture when I have my prints hanging up!  
The Rails headed to the CVCL tournament this weekend and made history making it to the championship game! Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it due to my work schedule & having Saturday class :(

So proud of this guy who had 3 saves :) Love him!  
All in all it was a great weekend, but flew by way too fast! However I'm ready for these next two weeks to get a move on so I can enjoy two weeks off :)
Happy Sunday!

An Adorable Market & My Weekend!

On the way home from the beach, before we reached Virginia, we stopped at the most amazing roadside market! The Grandy Greenhouse & Farm Market offered everything from melons to jams to peanuts.  I could have spent a lot (and eaten a lot!) if we had stayed much longer. We left with some strawberries, some peaches, a jar of strawberry preserves & a Cheerwine for the road :)

I've spent the weekend trying to readjust back home. Of course I still have lots (okay, maybe everything) to unpack but traveling is exhausting! I needed a day or two to recover... ;)

I got to watch Steven close game 2 on Saturday and then we headed home for the annual Summer Solstice Festival. This festival has a few vendors, mainly handmade items, a beer/wine garden, live music, a 5K race, a dog parade, wing eating contest and more! It's always a blast - and this year there wasn't any rain! It was wonderful.

Cheers!

Now it's back to work & the real world for me! Hope y'all enjoyed the first official weekend of summer!
