TGIF! My day was extremely busy and I felt like I went from one thing to the next {hence the title of this post.}
I kicked it
off with a run, bright and early.
My PT, John, granted me permission to try to run one whole mile! I know it wasn’t much, but I was super
excited to hit the roads again.
Since the
first half-mile of my run was uphill, I expected a
little pain. I have to say, I felt
pretty good! There was a slight
ache in the Achilles area, and when I returned, I promptly stretched and iced
like normal.
Willsey was checking
out what was going on from the other side of the door.
Next
up…swimming. My daughter and I met
Jesse at a local pool for another swimming session. This time, he decided to shorten the distances and increase
the paces. I felt really good and
was dipping below the times he anticipated me to swim.
Here’s the workout:

After
swimming, Payton and I took Willsey to his first-ever grooming
appointment. He was excited to go
for a ride in the car, but he immediately put the skids on as we entered the
doggie salon. Poor little
guy! We had a few
hours to kill until we picked him up, so we decided to hit a new frozen yogurt
place called Euro Yogurt.
The inside
was pretty funky and we sat in this little nook that was situated in the front
store window.
Payton
ordered low fat cake batter yogurt with blueberries and I ordered a yummy
pomerasberry tart yogurt. Both
were really good and we decided we would go back again.
Since
Father’s Day is Sunday, we had a few gifts to pick up so we hit downtown
Bethlehem as our first stop. When
we parked, we spotted Ferrous and Fifi, the mascots of the Lehigh Valley Iron
Pigs, our local AAA baseball team {an affiliate of the Philadelphia
Phillies}. Of course, we had stop
for a photo op! They’re adorable!
Soon it was
time to pick Willsey up at the groomer and when we got there…he got a bad
report. Poor Willey was scared to
death of the hair dryer and constantly tried to scoot off of the table. But as they say…it takes work to be
beautiful and I thought he looked marvelous!!! He wasn't impressed.
Earlier in
the day, I promised Payton that we would go strawberry picking, but I didn’t realize
it would be so late by the time we got to the farm. A promise is a promise, so we finally made it to Seiple’s
Farm.
It turned
out that today was the very last day for strawberries and there wasn’t much
left to pick. Between the two of
us, we picked about a quart of very small, but very sweet and juicy
berries!
Ok, this
post is getting obscenely long so I will end it here. I hope you had a great day and here’s to looking forward to a
wonderful weekend!
Enjoy!
Tracy
Nice hat, those are very "in"
