Winner winner chicken dinner! :0)

Apparently, I’ve had good luck recently! 

For beginners, I won a giveaway that Harmony was hosting for Peek-A-Boutique! I requested a personalized picture frame for my WDW Marathon!  I can’t wait to see it!!! :0)

A few months ago, I entered a raffle that Stephanie was hosting for the Race to Home Base 10K in Boston! 

I was chosen in one of her drawings and I received a free Road ID!  Awesome!!!!!



I decided to go with the Elite Road ID cause I loved the way it looked online!



It did not disappoint!  Super cute!



My wrists are so small….I had to cut a ton of it off to make it fit!



Got it!

Also, along with the Road ID, I was supposed to receive a hat and a pair of socks!  The company who hosted the giveaway emailed me and told me that they ran out of socks, so he was going to mail me a tech shirt instead.  Well, the package came, and instead of a tech shirt was a cotton T and another Road ID gift card for the inconvenience!  I was so excited!!  Felt like it was my lucky day!!!! Thanks, Jeff!!!! :0)

 

Also, if you remember a few blog posts ago, my running group friend and I attended a Health/Fitness Expo in our area!

 

I received a phone call this past week that my name was pulled for the Whey Pro Complete protein powder!!!!  This stuff isn’t cheap – I was definitely excited to receive that phone call!!!
Yay!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day!



Mine started out with a 5 mile run with a friend!  We are on our way to 100 miles for the month – the most that either of us have run EVER!  Tomorrow is the last day of the month, so we’ve planned another 5 miler and that should do it!  So excited!

Also, don’t forget about National Running Day on June 1st!  Get out there and get moving!!! :0)



Why do you run?

Memorial Day Weekend

I just realized that the previous post (Inferior) was my 200th post!  Yay!! :0)

This weekend has been filled with so many fun and exciting things!  I love love love long weekends!!

On Friday night, we drove to Texas to hang out with my brother and sister in law.  We ate dinner at Carrabba’s and even got free dessert!  I had 12 miles on the plan for the following day so I decided to carb load!  :0)

After eating, we made our way to a FunZone area with all kinds of exciting things to do!  I saw Batting Cages and I was sold!  :0)

My brother and I in the cages.  I have played slow pitch in the recent years for adult league and it totally threw off my timing.
:0(  I was rather upset with myself!  A friend that runs with me in my running group agreed to go to the batting cages here in town a couple times a month to cross train (she played College Softball for our local college – she’ll probably kick my butt!)!  Hah!

We also hopped on the GoKarts and we played Phazerzone where we were given air pumped “paintball” guns to shoot at each other – the balls weren’t as hard as paint balls and didn’t burst.  It was a lot of fun!!!!

We look tough!  Haha! 

The following morning came early – I met my friends at 6 a.m. to begin our run!  We ran down my favorite route and were able to enjoy another gorgeous sunrise! :0)

 

Despite the cool in the air, it was HOT. HOT.  It was very humid and we were pushing our pace.  We tried to keep a 9:15 the whole time.  I was tired from the late night I had and I didn’t handle the run so well.  This heat is a killer.  Ugh.

We ran through practically every water sprinkler we saw!!!!!

We ended our run at the giant water fountain!!!  Yes, we I ran through the fountain like a bunch of screaming children!

       

So much fun and totally refreshing after our run!!

That’s me to the right – I ran through the giant spurt in the middle and got soaked!!!

          

Us with our wet feet! :0)

After the run, I came home, ate breakfast, showered, then took a nap! I needed it!!!

My dad and my husband were here working on installing flood lights on the corners of our house so I left and brought back lunch from Subway.  We also watched a lot of the ESPN Women’s College Softball Regional's games. 

After recuperating a while, I cleaned the house and bathed the dogs!  Jason’s family is coming over on Monday night so I had to get things in order!

So far, it’s been a fabulous weekend and I still have two days to go!  Yay!
