Happy Friday!
First I have to give a BIG Happy Birthday hug to Chandra!!! She’s my favorite.
I met Chandizz thanks to blogging over three years ago and she’s one of my best friends today! We met for the first time at the Healthy Living Summit and were the only ones ‘pre-gaming’ in the room. It was a match made in Heaven…
Back to your regularly scheduled programming:
Yesterday I made it to yoga and felt so so good after! Every time I walk out of yoga I think, “I need to do that more! I’m going twice a week every week until the end of the year!!!”
I need to remember that because I have A LOT of races coming up and I’m way too tight. I NEED it, it’s not just a luxury with my training schedule.
My favorite thing this Friday is that I can get French tips again! Runner’s feet FTW.
Run for Something Better!
The Las Vegas Half or Full Marathon is 16 weeks away (Nov 17). Sign ups to join my Orange Laces team are still open so stop making excuses and sign up. The program aims to fight childhood obesity and create running programs for kids.
I had a few questions so here is more info:
Yes, you can walk/run the half.
It’s fine if this is your first race.
You will have a training program.
I will be available via email or phone for any questions or support you may need.
Sign up for RnR Las Vegas here.
Also – the Run for Something Better NYCM team has a few openings left! If you’d like to run the full in NYC on Nov 3 you can get in through this way (it’s sold out). The fundraising requirement is $2,500 for NYCM (plus race entry). You can sign up for the Orange Laces team for ING New York City Marathon here. Mention “RunEatRepeat” in the referral section so they know I sent ya.
Okay, I am off to hang out with another one of my favorite people!
See you later!
Question: What are you doing this weekend?
Frank Holland says
Hi. You did great young lady. I am an old 51 years and cant get under 4 hours. I just cant do it yet but i wont give up. I ran five marathons this year so far and I am going to do Sacramento in December for six this year. Keep on runin. Great job!!!
Shannon says
So…did the toe nails fall off, or the bruised part grow out? I’m waiting to see what happens with mine but its almost the entire nail…
Sue says
Altitude running in Cameron Highlands. Had an awesome time!
Angie says
Yay for yoga, I am going to my first yoga class tonight 😀 they offer it at the fitness center out here (im deployed to the sandbox). I am excited and nervous.. but thanks to your blog and Fitnessista i have been dying to go. 😀
LosingLindy says
your toes look awesome! I need to get mine done, I did 8 miles this morning on the dreadmill, seems fair to get them done tomorrow 🙂
Kelsey Yoki says
Its “lets clean up the apartment” weekend here…which is actually exciting since it has been on the back burner for months! Being productive is my favorite!
Melissa @TryingtoHeal says
Wish I had a half I am training for! This weekend I’m doing a long run with my cousin through the mountains on a trail into Santa Cruz. Should be pretty fun! And hopefully another run on Sunday along with some time to build up my tan…since working in the woods has made me pale again!
Joanna says
Going to a wedding this weekend, woo-hoo! Then finding an excuse to get frozen yogurt, double woo-hoo!
Christina @ The Beautiful Balance says
Yoga is the best feeling, seriously, nothing like it!
PS. from the looks of it, runners feet are WAY better than heels-every-single-day feet 😉
Mary says
Seriously, how do your feet look so normal and non-runner like with the amount of miles you do?! You must teach me your secret!!!
Hayley in Training says
So cool that you can pull off blonde as well as red! 😀
Kristen @ Medium Roast says
I’ll be visiting some friends and checking out a festival on what I’m told is “Whiskey Island” so I am pretty pumped! But now that I think about it, a pedicure sure does sound nice 🙂
Christine @ BookishlyB says
The highlight of my weekend will most definitely be the Justin Timberlake-Jay Z concert at the Rose Bowl Sunday. People watching at it’s finest.
Jessica @ FromtheKitchentotheRoad says
I absolutely love yoga. I don’t know why it’s so hard to add into the schedule, too! We are having a couple over for dinner tonight. I’m very excited because I have no friends and I’m hoping to convince this girl that she wants to be my friend.
Loretta says
We’re screen-printing shirts for our Ragnar team, going to a wine tasting and running a virtual half.
Rebecca says
Hopefully I’ll see The Conjuring this weekend, I love scary movies! On another note, watermelon juice may help prevent sore muscles http://cen.acs.org/articles/91/web/2013/07/Watermelon-Juice-Prevents-Aching-Muscles.html
Maureen says
This weekend I go to a concert AND celebrate my birthday!! BEST WEEKEND EVER! 😉
Nicole @crazyabouthealthy.com says
No huge plans…but i’m for sure going to buy a new phone case, and some new bras! I should also try out my new yoga DVD – also feeling a little tight lately.
Annette @FitnessPerks says
I NEED yoga too. I also say that every time someone mentions yoga in a blog post…. 😉
FamilyFitnessandFooderdy says
That’s great that the run is going to help start kids running/fitness programs! So neat!
P.S. I love yoga also! It not only makes my muscles feel long and loose but also makes me feel like a sudo hippie, which is fun.
Kristi says
I am loving yoga and have been working it into my daily schedule. I always end up feeling so good.
Ashley @ Eat Run Live Happy says
I’m moving this weekend! but don’t worry I made sure my internet was turned on at the new house before it’s turned off at the old house. Heaven forbid I’d go a day without reading and blogging!
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
love the recipe pics on the sidebar of your site!
•This weekend running related: a 9 miler neighborhood long run with some new music on the ipod saturday. Sunday will either an easy 3 miler or maybe cross training at the gym.
•This weekend non-running related: I’m going to frame some photos that i’ve been meaning to do for months and spend some quality time with the pooch at the dog park.
Amy @ Long Drive Journey says
Going to Newport and exploring New England a bit this weekend. I’d love to do a RnR race at some point, but they all seem to be rather far from me. If you ever have a team for a virtual race, count me in!
Jane R. says
Whoa only $2,500 for the NYCM! That’s a steal!
Also – absolutely loving the red/hot pink dress!
