Are you tired of hearing about Asheville after the Half Marathon, Biltmore Tour, and Breweries? Well, too bad, because I have more to share! Like where we stayed, downtown Asheville and where we ate.
Asheville Breweries
Just like when we traveled to Indy for the marathon and tried out some breweries, after the Asheville Half Marathon we hit up a few Asheville breweries. There are 26 breweries in Asheville and 60 in the surrounding area! We went to four, including Green Man Brewery with its huge mosaic wall of their logo.
Biltmore Estate
While in Asheville, you must visit the Biltmore Estate! We toured the house, did a wine tasting and had lunch at Cedric’s Tavern.
2019 Asheville Half Marathon
The Asheville Half Marathon wasn’t originally on my 2019 race list, but was an easy yes when someone from my group suggested it. It was a week after the Heart Mini half, which was on my 2019 race list. I’d heard mediocre reviews of the Heart Mini so swapping the two weeks on my Flying…
Currently: February 2019
I first typed February 2018, but then remember it’s 2019! Woof, how time does fly when you’re having fun!? And by fun I mean a month full of rain, rain and more rain. Seriously, we got almost 7 inches of rain in February. I never thought I’d say this, but I wished it had been…
BR: Becoming by Michelle Obama
When I originally requested Becoming by Michelle Obama from the library I was something like 500 in the queue. So I figured it was going to be one I might not check off my 2019 books list. Then I got the notice that it was in while I was out of town. I immediately asked…
2019 Flying Pig Marathon Goals
I’m 8 weeks into the 18-week Flying Pig marathon training plan. We haven’t hit the big miles yet, but I’ve already identified three Flying Pig Marathon goals. And it’s not all about time. 🙂
BR: The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh {Audiobook}
After zipping through The Woman in the Window audiobook, I started The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh. It got a place on my 2019 book list because it has 3.5 starts on Amazon, 3.52 on goodreads and is longlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize. So, once again I went in without reading the description…
Valentine’s Hearts “R” Running 5k Race Recap
On Sunday Nolan and I ran the Valentine’s Hearts “R” Running 5k! It was Nolan’s first 5k in over 8 years and he did great! I’m so proud of him for sticking with the couch-to-5k training and showing up even when the weather was calling for a wintery mix at race start.
The Best Minnesota Pride Clothes
A few weeks ago Alison of Deuce Cities Henhouse, one of the blogs I read, was wearing a Matt’s Bar sweatshirt. I immediately messaged her to find to find out how I could get one. I quickly ordered two and received it in the mail this week. Getting them spurred the idea for this best…
