Runner’s World Five and Dime Race Report

Runner’s World Five and Dime Race Report

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.  So, instead I had one goal for these two races: finish them both without re-injuring my hip. I was still coughing quite a bit and had forgotten my inhaler, so that added a little extra fun to the races. But I totally nailed my goals. 5K After hanging with several of the other … [Read more...]

Runner’s World Half and Festival Highlights

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. While we only ran 26.2 official miles, there were multiple little runs and a lot of walking. This is one of the few times I wish I had a step tracker LOL. So much happened this weekend that I'm going to have to break it into multiple posts. And I'm sure that even with that, I'll miss some of the amazing pieces. Thursday, I was late getting out of DC (no surprise there), but I made it into Bethlehem with a bit of time to relax before our trip out to Runner's World Headquarters.  I, of course, took that time to check out our awesome gifts from the sponsors. So much … [Read more...]

Things I want to do at #RWHalf

Things I want to do at #RWHalf

If you've been watching me on twitter or instagram, I'm sure you've seen a picture or two of the fun I'm having here. 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...]

Put your oxygen mask on first

Put your oxygen mask on first

Last week was a hard week. I was dealing with a couple of really stressful things, as well as just having a lot going on. And I responded poorly. I skipped a few workouts and I ate my feelings. (And then I went to Costco and bought ALL the carbs so I could continue eating […]
