Sunday morning I woke up, and wasn't sore! After my beastly attempt at the 14 miler Saturday, I was sure I'd be a bit granny waking up. I guess wearing my Aspaeris shorts...ALL DAY...was the key! (Hubs refused to take me out-out, which I made peace with.)
Sunday's workout: 4 mile recovery run with K
K was busy kicking a** at a 5k Saturday so since we didn't get to do our LR together, so she met me up for an early a.m. Sunday run. Another SUPER humid one, but it got done!
CRC came over that afternoon, after we'd gotten home from church, to help me with some packing. Thank the Lord! I'd been twirling around the house like the Tazmanian devil (Hubs is helpful, but I am super OCD) and girl company sounded nice. After a couple of hours, and 4 newpaper stained hands needing washing, we ventured off to a Tampa Bay Lady Bloggers meet up at Parkesdale Farms in Plant City.
Our friend Xi and her husband own this lovely joint that houses much-loved & local strawberry fare along with tons and tons of fresh plants and produce! I was a little bummed I missed strawberry shortcake season (December-April) but WILL be back with hubs to attack it for sure!
prices to die for!
Xi was sweet enough to make us goodie bags, yippee!
The strawberry shakes here have been featured on the Food Network (#1 strawberry milkshake in the US!) They've also been adored by several presidents who've visited over the years.
Lactose and all, I love thee
The decor inside is all BERRY! It's a ton of fun, though, to see everything and kids love goofing off in the strawberry throne.
see.
Happy girls and their shakes
B.o.B. was also along for the festivities and we caught up on all of our recent training, goings-on and what not. We're so proud of her, crazy-training for IM Augusta!
B.o.B. and I also found the best item in the gift shop to signify our trip...if only it was shortcake season.
The whole TBLB gang
Thanks again Xi for the day and for the AWESOME strawberry preserves treat! Hubs is going to love it! He's already eaten the gator jerky I got for him...that country boy o'mine ;)
made out like a bandit
Today for breakfast, I am enjoying some chia seeds, banana, protein, almond milk, oats, and egg white (tastes better trust me!) I'll do a circuit WOD on lunch and then head to my first Fit 2 Run Ambassador meet up after work, no case of the Mondays here!
How was your weekend?!
comment love makes me smile ;)
