a charity racin' and lake livin' weekend.

busy weekend. busy monday.
so let's keep this little weekend recap short and sweet shall we?
i have coffee to drink...

friday my friend izzi and i ran in the main street mile marathon for shriner's children hospital in greenville, sc. truth be told- her and i were both hoping either for a freak thunderstorm to cancel the race, or for the other to back out last minute. we don't really do running in public... but we did it anyway and we didn't do half bad!

1 mile in 8 minutes, 50 seconds.
the free pizza, beer, and live music afterwards didn't hurt either.
ps- yes those are fire fighters that ran in full turn-out gear. talk about some heroes.

saturday and sunday M and i headed out to Fontana Lake to spend the rest of our weekend with friends. this might be my favorite lake in the area. it actually covers 5 towns that were once bought out and covered in the process of forming the man-made lake. it is such a remote, quiet, and peaceful area. i think all of my anxieties and stresses instantly went away when we pulled up.
a majority of the homes are house boats only accessible by, well, boats ha... and there is rarely ever a crowd. i love it.
