Today we took our running to the bay! Trying something new. Stand up Paddle Boaring! 

So much fun. It was a beautiful day of sun, the bay, a delicious lunch, good friends. And even an impromptu photo shoot. Perfect day! 

Yoga on the USS Midway

This morning 650+ people practiced yoga on the USS Midway aircraft Carrier. I have not been to a yoga class in over 8 years. I fell in love!!! I'm actually going to try to take some more classes. Looking to improve my running. And over all movement. My running buddy and I had a great time.

I love our Friday morning runs. Waking up is not fun, but chatting is!

Black Girls Run!

     Sunday morning we all set off to run, walk, crawl, around Lake Murray for a 6 mile run. Some have never been there and others run the lake daily. 

     It was nice to see so many of us come out and cheer each other on. Some are old friends, some are meeting for the first time. And some of us have been supporting each other for a couple years now. 

    The lake is Beautiful. Especially in the month of October with the georgeous fall leaves.

Best part about waking up at 5:00am. Watching the sunrise:-)
