Wedding and [a] Fall

Good morning! Hope you are enjoying the first weekend of Fall!

Saturday, I woke up early to get ready for my friend’s wedding.

Breakfast:

Apple Pie Oatmeal with a pumpkin spice coffee on the side…So delicious and comforting

Then we took a loooong drive out to the chapel of Mt. St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, MD.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for the couple’s big day

Then it was on to the reception. Good food, hilarious DJ, great party.

The dinner plate was chicken marsala, a crab cake, veggies and rice. I was stuffed by the end because my friend is allergic to crab so I had two of the meatiest cakes, yummy caramelized veggies, a few bubbly dranks, and two of these…

Today I woke up determined to put my bedtime sugar rush to good use and beast out on my long run of the week.

I fixed some protein pancakes and pumpkin spice coffee for breakfast.

And set out on my mapped 8 mile loop through the harbor.

Unfortunately, this happened at mile 3.

You might notice a pretty significant tear in my pants, under which is a pretty nasty gash that I have elected to NOT show the world. You’re welcome.

So I sat there for a few seconds debating whether to turn around or call a friend and instead decided to just finish what I set out to do.

It looked a lot worse than it was, or at least that’s what my endorphins are telling me. We’ll see how my knee feels tomorrow.

Now I’m off to go find some lunch and get some essential groceries. Like Neosporin, pumpkins, and chocolate.
