‘Twas a packed weekend of sun and friends and running, etc. I headed to my hometown and enjoyed some sunshine while I dug around the yard searching for treasures with a metal detector (major nerd alert). Once upon a time I wanted to be an archeologist.wkndsun

I headed back to Lawrence Saturday eve for some celebratory race preparations with food, friends, and a backyard fire.

Sunday morning started at 5am with a short road trip to Kansas City’s Boulevard Brewing Company – the starting point of the 44 mile Brew to Brew relay race. I was on a team of 10 with a couple extra folks tagging along to drive and be part of the fun.

I ran the 7th leg (about 5 miles on highway and gravel roads) and got to cross Stranger Creek in a boat. Sweeeet! I spotted this halo around the sun while waiting for one of our teammates to finish her run. So beautiful.

We finished the race at Free State Brewery in Lawrence (hence the race name, Brew to Brew). It was a load of fun. Now, back to work.
