Fourth of July Recap

I hope you all had a great holiday yesterday.  Mine was pretty relaxing, although I wouldn’t have wanted it any differently.  I woke up around 8am to go to the bathroom, but after walking around I wasn’t tired enough to go back to sleep.  I put on my gym clothes early, because I knew that I wanted to get a workout in before heading to Bry’s parents’ house.  Unfortunately, the gym didn’t open today until 10am because of the holiday, so I sat around for a couple hours watching the Glee Project and eating some Chobani!

Once I got to the gym, I was thrilled to see not a soul in the place!  I had it all to myself.  I turned on my treadmill and watched the Independence Day parade in Center City, Philly.  Festive.  After a sweaty 3 miles of running, stopping for water, and jogging to wipe off the puddles of sweat (yep, you guessed it… it was hot again in the gym), I finally decided I had enough for 1 day.

I did a short ab workout and then sat around for a while to try and cool off before heading home.

After a quick shower, Bry and I drove to his parents’ house for a pool session, early dinner and cake!  We dined outside (my favorite) and I had shrimp, corn on the cob, and cheesy potatoes.  For everyone else, there was an abundance of steaks!  I knew I wasn’t going to drink a lot because I have work today, so I sipped on a Twisted Tea and called it a night.

We left their house around 6:00 and made our way to a township near our house for some fireworks.  We got there 2 hours early, which ended up working out because we got a great parking spot and place to sit!

How did you spend your 4th?

Did you get a workout in?  If so, what did you do?
