I ran my second 10K last saturday for

Hope Cancer Ministries...

"Kate's Race for Hope"

with Nelson and Maddie...

It was a very chilly 38 degree morning...

Maddie all decked out...

this was the trail where i rolled my ankle...

i was at the 2 mile mark...

i was not going to stop so i pushed through

and kept going even with the pain

because i had to finish...

i really had to finish...

because my goal for this year was to run 

and complete two 10k races

by the end of the year...

and i really wanted to get it done....

despite the rolled ankle and the very chilly morning...the trails and beautiful scenery...made for a good 10k run experience.
crossing this off my bucket list:1st 10k run2nd 10 run
now time to think about possibly doing a half marathonfor next year's goal.

instagram weekend love...

my favorite I phone app is instagram hands down!

it's the best ever photo app...

i love that you can snap a pic and then choose a filter 

to transform the look and feel of the photo...

i'm gonna try and do an instagram weekend post every monday. 

 recapping the weekend via my instagram photos. 

i have to admit I now take most of my pictures via my iPhone
and use only nikki (nikon) for those special moments.
oh, and i can even blog from my phone using blogpress.

i heart my iPhone!

the beautiful view on a chilly 38 degree morning...

pre the 10k run that i ran.

yummy grilled chicken sandwich at cracker barrel...

worship celebration service in a tent...

whoopie pie?...

the other night we had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants 

and a couple of doors down this sign caught mine and maddie's eye! 

 we love frozen yogurt, and cupcakes 

but the whoopie pie caught our attention and peaked our interest.

what's a whoopie pie you ask? 

well, we didn't know either so here's a brief description of it...,

"the whoopie pie is an American baked good 

that may be considered either a cake, cookie or pie. 

 It is made of two round mound shaped pieces of chocolate cake,

 with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them."

now doesn't that look absolutely yummy?

 it was soooo good it took everything in me not to devour that goodness myself.

 It's now our latest obsession...

so much so, we had to go back two days later to try their...

coconut chocolate chip whoopie pie 

and one...

yes, just one 

key lime gourmet cupcake with graham cracker crust 

with a key lime pie filling topped

 with a key lime cream cheese graham cracker 

and key lime glaze.

i think we may be going back again soon!

happy weekend friends!

road trip...

the north carolina state fair started october 13th

and goes through till the 23rd.

being from california and having gone to the california state fair

a few times we wanted to experience north carolinas state fair.

so we took a little road trip to raleigh...

there were lots and lots of agriculture stuff to be seen...

as to be expected at a state fair...

a 522.8 pound pumpkin and a 282 pound watermelon

were among the many...

oh, and lots of animals...

but the girls weren't too interested in walking through that section

because the smell didn't exactly make it very welcoming.

however...

we did buy the traditional fair food stuff...

cotton candy and a caramel apple....

along with kettle corn...

and blooming onions!

two of my favorites.

we finished walking through in about 2 hours...

it was a good one time experience...

i can say i've been there, done that, and i can now cross it off my 

list of things to do

while living in north carolina.
