I can’t believe July is over! It seems
like just yesterday I was figuring out my homemade pizza recipe and sharing it
with you all. Then again, so much has happened over the past few months. I
could write a 10 page blog post and still not cover everything! Let’s see…what
were some of the highlights this Spring/Summer…
1)
In April, Justin
ran and PR'd his first half marathon here in Louisville. I also had a PR this
year! The KY Derby Festival definitely knows how to put on a great race. It was
a fabulous event and I got to share it with some pretty fabulous people.
2)
May was a busy
month. Justin & I both went to Derby for the first time (Infield was fun,
but we’re doing it BIG next time J),
we traveled to Chattanooga for a friend’s wedding on top of Lookout Mountain,
and the Runner of the Year series kicked off for me.
3)
June was an extra
athletic month. Cross Country conditioning kicked off, the Summer Running
Series kicked off, I had 2 Runner of the Year races, and Justin competed in his
first Triathlon. We got to stay in Indy for a weekend with my college roommate
Claire which was so much fun. If I had one more weekend in every month, it
would definitely be spent in Indy. I miss the city so much! We also went to one
of my closest friend’s wedding in June. It was so beautiful and I am so happy
for her!
4)
To recover from a
busy June, we spent 8 days on the beach doing absolutely nothing but watching
the waves and playing cards in July. It was the best family vacation ever.
Before we headed to Orange Beach, we stopped in Panama City to visit Kevin. I
hadn’t seen him since Christmas! I missed him like crazy & it was so good
to finally check out where he lives.
Since we can’t sit still
for too long, Justin took off for New Orleans and I was headed out west to
Arizona. Another July highlight was dinner with the Dream Team. I miss my Zesto
girls like CRAZY and it’s always fun to get together. Justin came to visit again the last
weekend in July (3 out of 4 weekends this month…I’m getting spoiled!). Of
course we spent most of the weekend watching the Olympics, but we did spend a
lot of time with family and friends. More on this adventure later…but we also
ran the Color Run in Louisville which was hilarious.
Looking at the calendar for the rest of
2012 is a little daunting! There is something going on pretty much every
weekend. Between weddings, running, work & school…you’re going to have to
check in often to Keep up with Kimberly. I promise I won’t leave you hanging as
long next time J
Since I don’t get enough paint at work
during the week, I joined a bunch of my friends last weekend to experience the
awesomeness that was the Color Run here in Louisville. If you have never heard
of the Color Run (I’m not sure what rock you’re living under), you should check
out their website and definitely take advantage when the event
comes to your city.
