Runner's World Five and Dime October 17, 2015 5K: 34:34 10K: 1:09:38 Temp: Mid-40s with a bit of wind What I wore: hat, long sleeve half zip, Skirt Sports Happy Girl Skirt(this is an affiliate link), compression socks, arm sleeves, and Altra Running One 2.5 (affiliate link). When I got invited to the Runner's World Half and Festival as an influencer, I thought I'd be pushing it at every race. Unfortunately, bronchitis and my hip had a different opinion.

Runner’s World Half and Festival Highlights
If you follow me on any form of social media, you know I spent the weekend running around Bethlehem, Pennsylvania as a Social Media Influencer for Runner's World.

Getting out of my house on time was a challenge, but I made it and I'm having a blast. Here are five things I'm looking forward to this weekend (some I've already accomplished LOL): Meeting Bart Yasso. Somehow in all the time I've been involved in racing, I have yet to meet him. (In fact, at this point, I've already met him and seen his office. It's ok to be jealous! Also note the cute Tantrum Lotta Love top - I'll be giving one away on Monday!) Meeting Deena Kastor. She's hosting one of the lunches I'll be going to this weekend. I'm going to do my best to not go all fangirl on her, but well, I might. Getting … [Read more...]
