Long Run and NJ Wedding Venues

Happy Saturday my friends! Anyone else celebrating a long weekend?

Today’s long run was shorter than most. My dad and I completed a very hilly and hard 13-miler at about an 8:55 pace.

Hills:

Summit 13 Hills

Ouch.

Splits
if you are interested…

My legs were still tired from Wednesday’s 800s. Guess I need to get used to speed work again.

After the run (and a shower) Dan, my parents and I went to check out 2 possible venues in North Jersey for the reception. We looked at:

The Madison Hotel

And…

The Highlawn Pavilion

They were both beautiful and very different. We have a few more places to see, so we aren’t making any decisions just yet.

Enjoy what is left of your Saturday!

*If you live in NJ and have any venue suggestions, please let me know!

*Plans for the long weekend? Do you have just Monday off or longer?
I only have Monday off, but many of my teacher friends are off all next week! LUCKY!

*Hills: Love them or hate them?
BOTH

On Sunday, I stopped by Borders to pick up a few planning supplies…

They had a lot to choose from, but I was able to narrow it down.

Here are some more pics from the engagement night that my dad took.

Dan looks so happy and I look totally overwhelmed…already haha.

I am still recovering from lack of sleep this weekend. Last night I went to bed at 8:30.

Back this afternoon with a running post.

*What is your best wedding planning/engagement tip?
I need all the help I can get.
