My older brother got married on Friday and we had to wait out a downpour at the site for pictures. Since I used to work at the Starbucks in the area, we stopped for some necessary coffee. Also, how does anyone use a clutch on the regular? I could barely fit my "essentials" in there!

Becoming a member of the Oiselle Volee has broadened my running experiences in some of the best ways possible. These women are absolutely amazing and inspiring! So inspiring that they got me to get out of bed at 6 am on a Saturday off to run 5 miles :) Some of us got together and ran the Milwaukee Running Festival build-up run. It was overcast and humid, but there was a farmer's market right by the park so we all went and got treats afterwards, then hit up Horny Goat Hideaway for brunch. 

These ladies are some of the best teammates a girl could ask for!

After that 5 mile run, I started to have a lot of pain and tightness in my IT band on the right, which I'm pretty sure was caused by the fact that my running shoes are WAY past their prime. The wonderful peeps at Performance Running Outfitters helped me find a great pair of Asics (the color is Diva Pink, hello!) to carry me through my next group of races! :)
