I can’t believe I’ve been doing the happy days challenge, for over 80 days! I better start thinking about what I’ll be doing next when it’s finished!

I’ve been out of town for the last few days visiting with my family, friends, and brand new niece! I managed to write last Thursday’s post ahead of time and schedule it to publish itself (crazy!), but after that I was too busy hanging out and traveling for any others. I’m trying to get myself caught up; I’m sorry if I haven’t responded to comments, I’ll get there! Now, here are some happy days, although slightly behind my actual time line:

Day 78: Stocked up on snacks for our road trip It’s not a terribly long road trip, but we still need snacks! 

Day 79: Getting out of the woods The best part about trail run number 2 was getting away from nature! 

“I can see the end!”

Day 80:Making Faces A lot of times, one of the happiest things I do all day is run, but it would be lame to have the same happy thing multiple times per week. Also, I don’t always feel like taking photos of my run. On these days, I end up with a somewhat “weak” happy thing. Like this one. I enjoy taking pictures of myself making funny faces and then texting them to my husband. His response is always equally (if not more) entertaining.

Day 81: Lunch w/ Friends for Christine’s Birthday Tried out the Latin Spoon food truck, and better yet some ice-cream food truck. Good times with Christine, Sara, and Kate. Oh, and free Nutella. Can’t forget about the free Nutella.

I should get better at selfies. Also, not a fan of my front facing camera quality. But, love hanging out with Christine.

Day 82: National Running Day Celebrated with a nice long (it’s relative) 5 mile interval run. First time to Salem in quite a while.

There were no dead horses on this beach.

Day 83: Finally met my Niece She’s amazing. But knowing her genes, I shouldn’t be surprised. 

We just got back from a long run, and baby is pooped! j/k She has to grow into her sneakers first, and learn to hold her head up, and walk…details, details!

Day 84: Running in Niawanda Park  A beautiful view of the Niagara river. Unfortunately, it was quite windy; the river was certainly moving faster than me! 

And that brings another week of happy days to an end. It was a good one.
