• A Running Weekend….

    January 14, 2012 /


    Tomorrow is the DAY!!!

    The PF Chang’s Rock and Roll Half Marathon.

    Today my BFF and I are headed downtown to the convention center to gather our race packets. We’ll get to bump elbows with runners varying from beginners all the way up to the elite.

    It’s such an exciting atmosphere picking up the race packets.Exactly what’s needed to get you in the mood to run.

    13.1 miles!

    Woot!!

    I’m super excited to be running it with my BFF. It’ll be her first and I’m so glad I get to share it with her!

    So…stay tuned. I’m sure we’ll have updates throughout the weekend.

    Wish us LUCK!!!

  • Musical Monday

    Okay, you might be wondering why I picked this song, Runner, by Manfred Mann . . . .

    I have a reason–I promise.

    Besides it being a great song, I thought it fitting since I ran a half marathon this past weekend while my dad ran a full marathon!

    Yep, 64 years old, and my dad is still running marathons.

    So, I had to pick this song.

    I showed up on my dad’s doorstep the night before race day and surprised him by announcing I would run the half marathon while he ran the full.

    I’d heard it might be his last one, so I had to go up there and celebrate this milestone with him. I mean, he’s been running marathons since the early 80s.

    I’ll talk more about race day with my dad in tomorrow’s post, but let this song be a little warm up.

    Tune in tomorrow for the details. It was such a great weekend!

    Happy Monday, everyone!
