Mini ESCAPE from the Norm


A couple friends and I recently went to the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I currently live about three hours away from Tulsa, so it was an easy drive to break up the mundane everyday life. Once I saw the Philbrook Museum of Art, I could not resist a mini vaca to the museum. The grounds are by far the most spectacular gardens that I have seen in the mid west. The house used to be family owned and then was donated to become the museum that it is today. The art ranges from every style imaginable and can capture any viewer's imagination. There is also a splendid little restaurant in the museum that is great for anything from a cappuccino to a full meal. 





The area surrounding the museum is a beauty of its own. The private homes are a delight to drive by, spinning your imagination and sense of wonder. Tulsa holds many other little delights, from museum and casinos to wonderful restaurants and shopping. It is a wonderful change up from the everyday routine in the little town of Springfield, MO. Check it out if you have the chance.

That's right, I said it. And you know it's true. Today I thought I'd share with you a few memes that make me laugh.  This one is huge for me! Every time I see someone actively working out at the gym that is over weight I want to go up and give them a high five and say they are awesome.  Enough said! How I feel after long runs. Yeeps! The best one yet!  To have the enthusiasm of this girl! I hope you all enjoyed and at least giggled once or twice, yes, giggled!  Keep on running!

520 10k

Did you know that Seattle hosts that largest floating bridge in the world! And for their grand opening they hosted a 10k race! The Go Long 520 10k , how cool is that! This was one opportunity that I just couldn't miss. This was the first 10k that I have run in months and months. So I really didn't know what to expect as far as pace. My goal was to get below 1 hour and I did! I came in at 57 minutes! Which is the fastest I have ever run 10k.  The race had many issues, bottle-necking was the primary one. Thankfully I was keeping a fast enough pace to miss out on those problems though. But considering that it was a pop up race that had never been done before, I think it went very well.    My power pose for finally getting below 1 hour! Keep on Running!
