Time: 2:42

Average pace: 8:06 minutes/mile

I pushed the pace for the last 5 miles. It was tough but good!DSC_0015

Saturday afternoon: A hike with our friends Anthony and Lauren.

We hiked Winner Creek trail in Girdwood, which is one of my favorite hikes around here. You can see more pictures of the trail in this post. DSC_0019

Saturday evening: Dinner with friends. DSC_0020

After hiking, we had dinner with Anthony and Lauren at Jack Sprat.

Craig and I have tried to eat here several times in the past but every time we go there is a long wait, so we made reservations this time and knew we were in for a treat. DSC_0021

Appetizers: bread with an olive spread.DSC_0022

Saturday afternoon

I made Fruit Pizza for a family BBQ. You can see this picture and recipe in the original post here.

This is one of my favorite desserts to make in the summer. It is easy, delicious, and I always receive a lot of compliments.

Hope your weekend was awesome as well!

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.
