It was a decent week of workouts, I got most everything in but some strength training. I have been really slacking in that department and need to work on that. However, there is not much more I can do as I will be in taper this week. I can't believe the Boston Run to Remember half is on Sunday! I'm really looking forward to it! This will be my last half marathon until the fall. I only have the Brooklyn Rock and Roll Half marathon lined up in October, but I'm hoping to add a few more races.

My goal for the Boston Run to Remember is to get under two hours. I'm not aiming to PR but if I happen to have a good running day I will shoot for it. From the way things have been going training-wise, I'm not going to expect much. I am planning on enjoying running the streets of Boston and to have a good time.

On to the weekend, it actually started Friday night. I got to hang out with some great ladies at a friend's house. It was night of drinks and some yummy snacks and deserts. It was a fun time!

On Saturday, the morning started with the kiddo's sports. Soccer for the 5 year old and then T-ball for both (soccer for 4 year old was canceled prematurely for rain, I say prematurely because it ended up not raining).

After T-ball we headed to the town of Pennington for their Pennington Day, which is a festival for the community of Pennington that consist of booths, artists, and food vendors in the area and surrounding communities. It was a lot of fun walking up and down the streets.

There were lots of games that the kiddos could play. They had a lot of fun trying out new games and they really liked spinning the wheel for a prize!

On Sunday after my long run, we headed to Washington Crossing State Park where Hubby started his history tour for the fam. He is a history buff. It was a day filled with visiting historic landmarks in our area like where George Washington crossed the Delaware river and then various places he took his troops from Trenton to Princeton. It is pretty neat that all of this so close to our home. I will most likely have a blog post of the tour up soon. 

That sums up the weekend! Linking this post up with Tara at Running N’ Reading for her Weekend Update. Have a great week all!
