Catch Up!

I apologize for the absence and lack of commenting as of late! Josh's parents were in town until early Thursday and his brother & his girlfriend and sister and her boyfriend were in town visiting until this morning. We had lots of good times including dinner Wednesday at South End Brewery:


A stop at the Vendue roof top bar:

Yogurt at Fresh Berry:




Thursday, they all hit up the beach while Josh and I worked. Thursday night, we went to Liberty Tap Room. A few of the brave ones tried the Oyster Shooters (Pearlz Peppar Vodka, Oyster & Cocktail sauce):




After, we stopped by Red's, so Josh's siblings could see Shem Creek:


Phew! It was really nice to have Josh's family in town, especially since Josh was still recovering from his elbow surgery. I am pretty exhausted and thrilled for a three day weekend! What are you up to?
I didn't post the workout plan this week, but it went/will go as follows:
M: Quick run to warm up, taught Body Pump
T: Taught Body Attack
W: Off
R: 6 mile run outside:

F: Teach Body Attack
S: Teach Body Step
S: Off
This weekend should be pretttttttttty relaxing. We plan to maybe do brunch and a bbq. Can't wait :)

  1. I don't know if I could do an Oyster Shooter! Your workout plan sounds awesome. I'm going to convince my gym to get Body Attack, I need to switch it up from spin and pump!

  8. You are brave for running yesterday. It was so hot! Well to me anyway! :) Mad talked me into eating a raw oyster for the first time a few months ago. I think I turned a pretty shade of green.
