Spring Race Season Kickoff + March into Spring Giveaway
Welcome to everyone stopping by for the March into Spring Giveaway Hop! I hope you'll stick around and become a part of the fun here, but if you are in a hurry, hop on down to the bottom of the post for entry instructions to win an Amazon gift card and links to 20+ other awesome giveaways! This past weekend kicked off my spring racing season, but that was far from the only thing going on! I feel like I was away from home from Thursday morning until Sunday afternoon, despite not actually traveling anywhere. And I hadn't planned quite such a drastic taper (since I'd hardly trained), but apparently that worked for me. But, I'm getting ahead of myself LOL. Thursday Shoo and I went on a field trip to Pamplin Historical Park. Despite … [Read more...]
RNR DC Half Marathon final long run + weekly wrap
Last week was crazy busy and Friday continued the trend. We dropped off the Pilot at the dealership at crazy early and then I spent the rest of the day at Shoo's school. I run a book swap every February in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, so I spent the entire day helping kids choose books. I love love love this event as some of the kids at our school have no books at home and it also gives me a chance to interact with the kids and the teachers. This was my last year leading the event as Shoo only has one year left of elementary school. I've been doing this since he was 3! How did that happen??? Friday I also received the call that my new treadmill will arrive on Wednesday! I'll tell you more about it when it arrives, but I'm super … [Read more...]
Brooks Cavalcade of Curiosities
Last week, Melody of Will Run for Margaritas put out a call on facebook looking for volunteers to work at Brooks Cavalcade of Curiosities. Since I wanted to go over to the expo anyways, I offered to help. Since I have kids in school, I ended up working Thursday and Friday during the day. While helping out at the expo was awesome, the chance to see both Melody and Miss Zippy was even better. I was assigned to the giveaway booth both days. We scanned tickets that each person brought in and gave them either a bandana, a beanie or a t-shirt. Every once in a while someone won a new pair of Brooks shoes! (When that happened, I think the volunteers were as excited as the winner LOL.) A few times over the two days, people won head to toe … [Read more...]
