Summer catch up (picture overload)

Wanted to do a little catching up and I have added a ton of pics.  So much that has gone on over the Spring/Summer that I can not believe we are already in August and planning for another school year. Life just needs to slow down!  As much as I try, it just keeps getting busier and busier.  So, I've picked a few pics to just kinda describe a little bit of what has been happening.

At the beginning of this year I was set some goals for myself and felt pretty excited and determined.  I wanted to get my personal trainers certification......I did!
I wanted to do a lot of races......I have!  I did a 5k, two 10k's, a half marathon and have another half marathon planned for later this month.  I had also planned for another half marathon in September but decided not to do it.   The only other goal race was the Turkey Trot and as of now I still plan on running that.  

We have done a lot of little things and we look forward to a lot more to come yet.  We also are very excited that we are going to be grandparents again to another little girl and we are so very thrilled!!


This pic was from earlier this Spring at The Flying Pig!  I was so nervous running this even though it was a 10k.  I felt prepared and ready just wasn't sure of the hills....but it wound up being the funnest race yet!  And boy do they know how to put on a race and a great party after!!
This bruise that was much worse in person was from doing squats!! Yes squats!
This was the Columbus 10k and it was on my birthday!  Was hot and very humid but was a lot of fun!
My brother drew this for me for my birthday!  I love it!  I am alway's harping on myself for being so slow and well this is what I get!! Perfect!
I don't know....I just felt very pretty in this pic.  It seems like with running, working out and training my clients I don't get to put on girlie clothes too often.
Just one of my training runs and was feeling pretty darn good!
Oh, and this is what I saw on my training run!  Beautiful!
Completely love the views I have while running!
I had an 8miler planned and these girls had 4.5 miles planned so I did my first 4miles by myself and then they met me and I finished my run with them!  I love this and it makes my long runs so much nicer!
Was so hot even though we were out early that morning!
 I just love this place!  Downtown with lots of little antique shops!
 Having fun with the grandchildren!  
Trips to Young's Jersey Dairy!  Love that place!
Summer morning's on my porch and this is my view!  
Another morning with my coffee and it was so foggy out and just made things so beautiful!
 Just finished our run...again, pretty hot and muggy but so much fun when you are with somebody! 

 Just feeling good!
 Celebrated this precious little Nana's Lauren 2nd birthday!! I love her so!

 Family bike rides!  
This was a 9mile run for me and a 5 mile run for them!  I did my first 2 miles by myself, met up with Candice and ran another 2 miles with her then met up with these girls and did our 5 miles together! Was a beautiful morning for a run.  Not too hot at all and the sun was nowhere to be found and I was okay with that!

She's growing too fast!

Three of my girls.....we have had a great summer!  They have grown so much into fine young ladies! 

Was perfect for the 4th of July!

Lunches outside on the patio!

 OMG!! This girl just melts my heart!

Was a bicep/tricep kinda morning!

 My run in Central Park! Absolutely loved every single step!!

We are always busy with something!  Life is never dull!  There are times that I feel overwhelmed but I just get myself to regroup and think of the moment and how there are no redo's in this crazy hectic life of mine!  Yes, I get tired, overwhelmed, and feel kinda crazy at times but I sure wouldn't trade any of these moments, these events, these memories for nothing in this world!  

So, how has your Summer been?  What memories have you made?
