WHAT A DAY

I don’t think I can say this about today, yet, since I’ve technically only been up for 15 minutes. I had a GREAT weekend, it was so much fun and BUSY! Yesterday I woke up super early (like even before my alarm!) and managed to watch about 20 minutes of the women’s marathon before I had to head out the door and drive two hours south to my parents from where my friend’s wedding was. I am so proud of Kara and Shalane and while I know they were hoping to medal, I think they did a great job. And, I can’t believe Gelena set an Olympic record after all the speculation about the course wearing the runners down due to the turns. I wonder what could have happened if it was more of a straight shot?!
Anyways, my sister hosted a bridal shower for me that was absolutely amazing (more details soon!)! I felt bad because I had to run out on my guests a little early to catch a flight… only to get to the airport and find out the flight was delayed for THREE hours! I think airports hate me. Or New York City likes to punish me for leaving because traveling is never easy it seems. Definitely not fun considering I had my wedding dress with me (which the airline wasn’t very accommodating, I ended up having to fly with it laying on top of me. But at least I didn’t have to worry about someone doing something to it).
So let’s just say I’m a little exhausted today! And hoping I get a seat on the subway on the way into work so I get a little bit more snoozing in.
I wanted to leave you with one of my new favorite songs by an artist that seems to be pretty awesome:

How was your weekend? What did you think about the women’s marathon? What do you think of Ellie Goulding — yay or nay?

Love Ellie Goulding!! Fun fact – did you know she is dating Skrillex? Craziness. Lol
Um yes I totally saw that when I Googled her! Seems random?!
Super weird! House music match made in heaven lol
I got up bright and early to watch the marathon (putting off my own long run until the evening, haha!) and it was a good race! I'm sad for Shalane, Kara and Desi that things didn't go according to plan. But they all raced to the best of their abilities, and I still think the 3 are a super strong team! I can't wait to see what 2016 will bring!
Definitely, I completely agree!
I am glad that you had such a great weekend. Can't wait to hear about your bridal shower. The cake your mom made looked awesome!
Thank you! I know, she needs to open a cake business I think!!
I have been a fan of Ellie Goulding since the Royal Wedding! I read that she performed at Wills’ and Kate’s reception – her entire Lights album is great.
I had no idea that she performed at their reception?! That’s awesome!! I’ve been hooked on her for the past week or so.
Ugh, wedding dress in your lap on a plane does not sound fun. You could think of it as prepping for the future when you fly with a child under age 2 in your lap. But at least babies are more compact than a wedding dress!:) I just barely caught the end of the marathon. It was inspiring to even watch them for two minutes. Amazing ladies!
Ha, that's true!! It wasn't terrible since I decided to sleep the whole time. I heard the finish was amazing — I need to watch it!
I got her song "Lights" for free on itunes a whileeee ago and loved it, now it's all over the radio on my way to work so it's kinda played out for me lol I"ll have to check out more of her songs though because she has a nice voice
Yeah I really like her CD! I've been listening to it on Spotify since I fell in love with "Lights"!
Oh you poor thing. What a day you had! Glad your wedding dress is good though
That’s all that matters right??!?
Loved the marathon. Even though Kara or Shalane didn’t place, I still couldn’t help but sob a little whenever they were hugging each other @ the end & esp when Gelena won.
Have a wonderful Monday! Hope your day is 10x better than yesterday!
Thanks — me too!! I think that was the most nerve-wracking thing I’ve ever had to do… hahah.
Yeah I think they did a great job and I love how close of friends they are! I can’t decide who I like better between the two?
And have a great day!
I think if I hadddd to pick, it'd be Shalane
And she's a blonde like us!! That won it for me, haha
Hhaha good point!!
i had a long working weekend boo! but still able to get out on my bike so it was okay! just wanted to say your Save the Dates are ADORABLE!!! love them
Aw thanks!! I hope you get some extra days off this week if you were working all weekend?
I am also so proud of Kara and Shalane! I love them
I agree! I can't wait to see what they do in upcoming races… not to mention 2016!
The women's marathon was the only event I watched, and I couldn't look away! So amazing. I love that song too.
I know, it makes me want to quit my job and become a professional marathoner — haha — so I can get some killer abs!
How exciting that your sister threw a shower!!
So proud of Team USA although I wish they could have kicked some more butt!
I know!! But there will be many other races!
