So it is almost Thanksgiving, can you believe it? This is the time of the year when stores bypass Thanksgiving and think its Christmas time. I swear Halloween was down and Christmas was up on Nov 1st! AHHHHH!
1st things first in this random weekly roundup post. Rock n Roll New Orleans is just a couple months away. If you are wanting to run it you can sign up HERE. This year they have a added a 10k to the mix. Which is super exciting to me because I have so many friends that wont run a half, so this is an option they can sign up for. Yesterday they revealed the 10k medal and its pretty awesome...
So cute. I have decided to run the 10k this year. I have ran the half, full, and relay the past 3 years and I am excited to bring you a 10k recap this year. I hope you guys will join me in the big easy on Jan 25th for one of the most fun races of the year. Here are a couple codes you can use to sign up...
Another fun thing I have started up is the Fat2Fit Run Streak. After sitting down and talking to my Ironman guru coach, he nicely (NOT) told me that I needed to get my butt back out on the street and start running. I have not been running too much since Boston, only because I had the big Ironman swim, so I had all my attention in the water for a couple months. So the #F2Fstreaking was born this week. A couple of my favorite #BLENDS have been streaking forever and getting super fast and speedy, so I thought WTH lets give it a try. So the runstreak started on Tuesday and I am proud to say that in the past three days I have already logged 10 miles, LOL! Thats 10 more miles than I ran in October, :) heehee!
I would love for you to join me on this little streak. From now until Jan 1st, run atleast 1 mile a day. Its not that hard just find 15 minutes a day to get your run done and then tag me @0to26point2 and #F2Fstreaking in your picture on Instagram. There may be some prizes at the end of all this, who knows.
I posted this little #TuesdayTransformation Pic this week on Instagram and got a huge response.
THANK YOU GUYS, yall rock! Its very humbling to see how far you have come and also how far you need to go. I have always been happy but now its a little easier to be healthy and happy. You guys keep me motivated to keep going. so again Thank you!
So its time for a little muscle check. I havent been lifting weights to much in the gym. Like I said before I had been focusing on swimming and also cycling, so weight lifting was put on the back burner with running. Starting this week also I am back strength training. My shoulder injury had put a little damper on that for a while but now I am strong enough to lift and loving it...
This weekend I was supposed to be in Orlando at the WOW Summit. I have been planning this trip with my cohost Cindy for a couple months now. However life sometimes knocks you down and you have to make a decision at the last minute. I hate that I had to back out at the last minute and not go. Thank goodness Cindy is still going and I know she is going to have a blast. Hope fully not hate me for not going :( We both got new cars and of course had to take selfies in front of them.
Why did I have to back out? Because of this little football player right here making it to the youth bowl. (Like the Super Bowl of youth football)
To be honest with you when I planned the trip football would have been over for like 3 weeks and it would have been no problem, however this team of 7 year olds had an undefeated season and made it through 2 rounds of playoffs to get themselves to the Youth Bowl. so this Saturday his team the West Mobile Bucaneers 7 yr olds will compete for the big win and then off to a huge tournament on Thanksgiving weekend in Panama City. BUSY!!!
Youth Bowl Bound...
On another subject before I close, my daughter got a part in the huge play here at the Saenger Theater. She is going to be in Babes in Toyland. I have been having to make her and her friend Sarahs costume's. They are Mother Goose Villagers. What do you think?
I hope you guys have a great weekend.
Have you ever Run Streaked?
Are you super busy around this time of year?
Have you ever made a costume?
I have never Run-streaked. I think about it, sometimes, but I don't know if it would be good for my body. We'll see. Maybe one day :)
ReplyDeleteThings are insane. We have our little guy in baseball, and I am grateful we don't have playoffs and championships in the fall season, just because it would be nice to have some time back in the schedule. Congratulations to your son and best of luck to him! That's one awesome reason to miss out on your trip!
If by "made", you mean "bought random items at the store and assemble them into a costume-like outfit", then yes. All the time :D I'm not really much of a seamstress.
