Chasing a Guy on the Treadmill, a Chocolate Milk Contest, and a $100 Running Skirts Giveaway...

Hey guys!
I had an awesome workout at the gym yesterday. I wasn't up to swimming so I decided to hop on the elliptical machine for 45 minutes. What was great is there was this young guy on the treadmill in front of me running, so I thought about racing and paced him as he ran. ... (I know its blurry but he was running and I was trying to catch him in my mind.) LOL! Have you ever done that? If not you should. I was so trailing him in a race in my mind and I was letting him pace me. You should totally try it one day...

I had an awesome lunch at Moes with the hubby and kids. Have you ever had a burrito bowl. Its awesome. I load it up with vegis and beans and cover it up with guacamole. Its so good!

Today I have a big swim this morning. I'm timing my mile swim so wish me luck! I'm hoping to hit under 38 minutes in the pool. I'll report back on how it goes.

I have a fun giveaway for you guys, I was lucky enough to hang out with one of the lovely ladies from Running Skirts at the Heartbreak Hill half in Boston last month. We had an epic fashion show at the brand meeting where we had to basically put as many running skirts products on as possible and walk a catwalk... It was a lot of fun.

I have not been a huge skirts fan while running. Although I think they are amazing for other things, like pacing one of your oldest BFF's...

    I will have to try pacing myself with someone else at the gym. Sounds like fun. I do like wearing skirts or tutus when I race. I do always make sure I'm totally coordinated in my favorite bright colors head to toe. :-)
