weekend wrap up.

Last week was a stressful week in the It’s A Hero household. It’s amazing what two misbehaving dogs will do to an already jam-packed week.
If you guessed they cause stress and exhaustion, you would be correct.


So Friday night BF and I got out of the house and went to dinner at Parasson’s Italian Restaurant in Stow. This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants!
I ordered the baked ravioli and I was so immersed in my food
that I couldn’t tell you what BF got
{but I’m pretty sure it was rigatoni something or other}.


We made it an early night cause Saturday morning was race day!
I headed to Hartville, Ohio for their 1st Annual Cannonball 5k Run!
While I have been training all summer, I was terrified to run this race.
The last race I ran was in 2007.
Plus BF was not running this race with me, so I was flying solo
{he badly sprained his ankle so he’s been laid up from it for two weeks}!

{Pre-race. Anxious.}
I came in 4th place for my age group, 10th overall female, and finished at 25 minutes 38 seconds! I may not be breaking records anytime soon, but I was pretty proud of myself!
{even if I almost threw up at the finish line – ha! That’s no joke.}

{Post-race}

I spent the afternoon in a food coma and sleeping.
It was just what my body needed!

After I recovered, I threw together some gluten-free cupcakes and put myself together for a Halloween party at the neighbors house.

{cupcakes}

For the party, I dressed up as a flapper
{great excuse to wear a dress I bought from Express}
and BF dressed up as a Biggest Loser contestant, post weight loss!

{all dolled up!}

I ended up taking my wig off shortly after some young kid
asked me if I was Lady Gaga…
He had no clue what a flapper was. Oh well.

Sunday I caught up on all many of the things on my to-do list!
Unfortunately not everything got crossed off my list,
but such is life!

What fun did you get yourself into this weekend?
