Polar opposites

So yesterday, Saturday, was an interesting day. It started with sunshine and ended with fog. I (finally) ran in my first Parkrun in Hampstead Heath - the sun was shining so I had no excuse. The Parkrun is a weekly (and free!) Saturday run that occurs all over the UK (and the world). These runs are meant to encourage runners of all sizes and speeds to get out and enjoy a timed run through one of the UK's beautiful parks. Each runner has a barcode that is scanned at the end of each run and you have an entire online profile which is updated and maintained by the volunteers of this awesome organization. It is an awesome idea and one that I would love to spread to PA when we return. During my run, I snapped a few photos to show off how enticing a run around London can be. I'm sure the other runners were mumbling "tourist" under their breath as I flashed away. Check this out: http://www.parkrun.com/home

I beat her, btw


Last night was Ladies Night - woo-hoo! We have been planning this soiree for a number of weeks, especially our attire. After all, we were going to DSTRKT*. A CLUB. I haven't been to a real club since... well... the Princeton in Avalon, NJ was a hole in the wall (it has since been updated and I hear the men are now required to wear shirts).  And this wasn't just any club, it is THE club where Kanye and Kim K hang out (I watch way too much E! here). We weren't able to enter the VIP area (shocking, I know) so not sure which celebrity was making their guest appearance. I wore heels for the first time in years, but to be honest, I wouldn't have been able to see anyway.  You know, with all of the fog machines.

*Tim (oh so sarcastically) said DSTRKT is so cool, they don't even need to include vowels.

  1. Did you know there is only one parkrun in the US? and it's in Michigan?!!

    Sounds like a lovely ladies night! We had my bachelorette party this past weekend and I'm exhausted but it was so much fun!
