Weekend plans

I've been looking forward to this weekend since my husband and I made the plans for it. It seems like lately that I've had my weekends booked with plans. This year must be the year for it. It seems like I'm doing something all the time.

My husband and I will be traveling to Ann Arbor Friday afternoon. He needs to go talk to a company to get a deduction taken off one of our bills. He tried to call the company, but for some reason they don't have a number that customers can call. Everything has to be done in person. After my husband deals with that, we will be going back to Graffiti Alley. We were there a couple of weeks ago and I took a bunch of photos. I decided that my Graffiti Alley photos will be used in an upcoming photo exhibition. I want to go back and take more photos and then I can decide which ones I want to have displayed in the gallery.

I will be running another half marathon on Saturday. This time I don't have to travel out of the county for. The first ever half marathon will be taking place in my town. When I first heard about it, I was unsure if I wanted to run it. It was sandwiched between my trail half marathon and my trail 50K. After a few weeks of debate, I decided to run it. My legs felt really good after the trail half marathon so I decided to try to run my best. I initially wanted to run this half as a training run for the 50K, but I know it would be hard for me to loaf. If my legs felt pretty good after running 13.1 miles on a messy, muddy trial. I know they will be fine after running on roads.

After the half marathon, my husband and I will be heading out on a little getaway. My husband booked a room at a wonderful hotel for our 10th wedding anniversary. Usually on our anniversary, we head out of town on vacation. Not this year. We will be going on vacation in a couple of weeks when we head to upstate New York. It is a vacation and road race weekend for me. My first ever road 50K. He booked this hotel because it has a lot. It has two indoor and outdoor pools, one seasonal outdoor pool, an adult only pool, hot tubs, whirlpools and a sauna. One other bonus is the 24 hour fitness center. Yes. I will be waking up early Sunday morning to run some miles. Anytime we need to stay at a hotel, one of the requirements is it has to have a fitness center. My running never takes a vacation.

Besides the hotel, we will be having dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant. We will probably also do some shopping. Also, I really need to stop at a jewelry store. My engagement and wedding rings are dirty and gross. It didn't help when I fell into a huge mud puddle last week during my trail half marathon. My rings need to be cleaned. It's been a while.

This weekend is going to be great. I get to look at some graffiti, run a half marathon and spend the evening with my wonderful husband. Who could ask for more?
