Things I’m Excited For

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it,” said a wise man once.

I have a ton coming up in the next few weeks that I’m super excited for.

Tomorrow: JuicePress run followed by DERBY DAY! Fully embodying my blog name tomorrow. 

My mom got me a Lilly dress for Easter that didn’t fit, so I exchanged it for this beaut. IT HAS LOBSTERS ON IT.

 

NEXT WEEKEND: 

LOBSTER DE MAYO.

This is a real thing, y’all. Part lobster event, part tequila tasting event. FreshDirect is a sponsor, and their social team reached out to me to see if I wanted to come. NO THANKS, I HATE FUN. I am beside-myself excited. 

May 17:

My coworkers are running this as their first half, and I am SO excited for them. Also, everyone I know is running it.

Memorial Day

This is the first Memorial Day since 2007 that I won’t be going to the Outer Banks. I’ve loved going down there, but it is such a trek from New York. I usually drove to DC, stayed the night, then woke up and finished the drive with friends. Coming back, I usually drove it straight, and it never took less than 12 hours because I usually had to come back on Memorial Day. I really wanted to go, but that just sounds exhausting to me this year. (Flying isn’t much better: it’s still a two hour drive from Norfolk, and flying + renting a car isn’t worth it to me.)

What about you? What’s exciting in your world?

  • I'm excited for my third half which is coming up quickly - May 25th!! And then it will be 2 weeks off and I start training for my FIRST FULL! AHH!

  • I'm looking forward to the derby today too! Plus the weather is actually cooperating, so I'm going out for my first run this week. Just a laid back weekend over here!

  • That lobster dress looks absolutely gorgeous (seeing it from the instagram feed on the right side of this page as I type). And REALLY? Lobsert de Mayo? I can't wait to get my hands on that event when I move to NYC next year! Thanks for sharing!
