Hey! I’ve been so busy I just realized there was a lot of fun stuff I wanted to share but kinda forgot. Like, the fact that I kinda sorta ran a marathon with Brad Pitt. Maybe.
Since this weekend was PB & jam packed with the race expo and 3 parties – oh, and running 26.2 miles, I didn’t tell you about the Santa Clarita Marathon & Half Marathon race expo!
Santa Clarita Marathon Half Marathon Expo
It was a small expo, but awesome for 3 reasons…
1. The bib pick up was easy peasy in and out. And the nice lady who gave me my bib carefully explained to me how to put the timing chip on my shoe which I thought was the cutest thing ever. And she was very serious about telling me “Good luck!!!”. I love it.
2. There was a wall to sign at the expo…
and apparently Brad Pitt was there!!! I think he just ran the half marathon though because I didn’t see him on the full course.
I was excited but I’m more of a Matt Damon girl.
3. The BJ’s Brewry booth was giving away FREE PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!
Day made.
Check out my SC Marathon Recap/Results post here.
Also, I wanted to share my awesome post-it note stapled to a gift bag idea. You know, in case you forget to buy a card and want to pin this for later…
In other fun news… there was an awesome rainbow Saturday morning!
The end.
Don’t forget to check in for Pile on the Miles Monday to stay accountable!!
I was supposed to go to the gym today but I had to skip. Must go tomorrow night.
Ran an easy 4 mi today! Total for the month is 26 mi 🙂
i saw a rainbow last week on my way to work. i kind of rubbed my eyes at first because i couldn’t believe it.
80 minutes of spinning and 30 minutes of weights and core work!
Super resourceful on the post it gift tag. I may have to steal that idea from you!
I ran two wet miles and going to do abs later!
I am planning to run 5 miles tonight
5 mile run this morning and 1 mile walking the pup.
I walked 4 miles!
Leg day!! Squats/deadlifts/step ups. Plus some ellipticalling.
1.5 hour swim practice and an hour pump class!
I can’t post everyday, but today I ran 4 miles. 7.8 miles total so far. Worked out every day this month too.
I know I am a day late but wanted to post to be accountable… I ran about 1.75 miles today, my GPS was not working and only tracked me for .8 which I know was wrong. I am at a total of 4/50 miles! Woohoo… almost there! 😉
Trying to drag myself out to run in the cold rain but still here reading your blog. Running with Brad Pitt makes you a celebrity too, right?
Sorry im late checking in!! Nov3rd i ran 2 miles and attended a body pump class at my local Club Fitness 🙂
When I was at the Guinness Factory in Dublin, I saw that Chester Bennington signed the wall. I wanted to track him down. 😛
I ran about 3 miles yesterday and it was a gorgeous day!!
I did a short back and biceps workout at my house after work Monday night. Didn’t get a run in since my hamstrings are still tight from my last run. Hoping to get a run in Tuesday
hahaha! I love the note card stapled to the bag 🙂
4 miles!!
2 below freezing miles this morning!
3 miles done! I love fall morning runs
After work I ran 5 miles last night and it was pret-ty chilly and a bit of a rough run. Averaged a 9:04 pace which isn’t my best. This morning I woke up at 5:30 and did my same route again, and shaved a solid 14 seconds off my average pace! Which was hard to believe because I felt like poo. I love running in the morning, even though it can be the hardest thing in the world to get out of bed. Now I can enjoy the rest of the day and go eat my weight in sushi and see Broad City Live in the evening without feeling too guilty.
Yesterday I ran 4 miles!
Did 2 miles through the cemetery with the basset hounds, they loved it, I loved it, they were again not allowed to eat any goose poop – I am the meanest ever!
Ran 3 miles this morning…supposed to be my rest day, but we’re expecting a huge downpour tomorrow morning, so I had to get my run in today!
3 Miles yesterday and 5.5 today!
haha I love the post it idea.
Free pizza – awsome (I’m hungry because I just swam 900m this morning!)
Yoga!
Went to crossfit today. WOD was 30-25-20-15-10-5

Ran 6.11 miles today!!!!!
I did 30 minutes of pilates and had park/walk time with my middle kiddo.
1 hr of tennis + 1/2 hr of weights today. I always enjoyed celeb spotting in the races I signed up for when I lived in LA!
5.5 treadmill miles today! Felt good, wish I could have gone longer but my tiny human was waiting for me to get home, and letsbehonest, he’s way more fun than treadmill time! 🙂
Free pizza? Sold! Where do I sign up for next year? Still can’t believe you managed to do all that this weekend. Crazy…
2.62 yesterday and 1 mile today!!
5mile treadmill run after dinner!
Taught spin, then ran a quick one on the treadmill!

Today I ran 2 miles and did some yoga because my hips felt super tight!
Today’s a cardio/life day! Morning walk with the husband since his back isn’t being kind. Walk with him > run without for today
Free pizza would definitely make my day! 🙂
10 miles yesterday, so today was a light-cross and strength-training day! 30 min. on the stairmaster and some weights (ugh). Enjoying the taper before my half marathon on Saturday!
Very cool about your proximity to Brad Pitt…I didn’t know that he is runner. Makes me like him that much more : )
I chickened out of my first group run tonight (social things are hard), but i did my Crossfit this morning!
Made it to Crossfit today!
I ran 4 miles in 45 minutes, exceeding my goal of working out 30/minutes a day. Boom!
Today I did strength and walked 5km
Ran 3 miles today listening to the new taylor swift album, which I surprisingly love!!
Totally down with the Post-it note “gift card” used one on Halloween for the little neighbor girl since we missed her trick or treating and I had a little pack of Halloween Hello Kitty Jelly Belly(s)* for her. :o)
*Is there a plural for Jelly Belly? ;o)
Circuit training!
Today was another rest day because of a headache. I am going to kill it tomorrow.
Love it when there are good samples at race expos!
Oh girl. Even if I have to PAY for pizza, my day is made. But FREE pizza?! Shucks. My WEEK would be made! haha
I commented on the earlier post, but I wanted to give a complete recap of my workouts today:
1.8 mile walk in the morning
4 mile run in the evening!
That’s pretty cool! Celebs. Yeah we both ran NYC marathon last year with Pam Anderson! And we both finished before her too. 😉 love the rainbow pic. I’m a sucker for rainbows.
Yesterday I ran 2 miles and did legs and today I did upper body.
I can’t believe Brad Pitt was there! How did you know? Did he have bodyguards? Hahah.
