Wow. Every minute of this weekend was packed with amazing people, fun events and running running running! Friday feels like ages ago – but I really wanted to share because it was AWESOME.
Running with Bart Yasso
Friday morning was my first full day in Bethlehem and we had a bright and early wake up call for a shake out run with Bart Yasso.
We did about 3 miles around the area near the steel stacks, which was a preview of the race course.
It was absolutely GORGEOUS. Fall is my favorite season and I think I’d love to live somewhere that gets a ‘real’ leaves changing color, crisp mornings, apple picking, sweater season Fall.
Just like this…
Yasso grew up in Bethlehem and his family contributed about 125 years of work (combined) at the steel factory. So not only were we running with a legend – no one knows this area better.
I ran along side him for a little while and asked him the most important question anyone doing the infamous Yasso 800s would want to know – “how do I conquer your 800s?!”
He said most people do them too quickly. Then, they can’t do them all. If you can’t make it to the end you have to keep working on it. A lot of people can only do 6 or so at first, but you can build up to it.
Side note: One of my favorite picture of the weekend has to be David Tratner trying to do my signature ‘Run Eat Repeat’ pose!
We also had a fun little “Skirt Olympics” where we had to run across the patio, put on a skirt, run back put on compression socks and run back! It was fun and super funny! (Note to self – don’t pack your hole-y socks on trips because you may have to play games where you take your shoes off and embarrass yourself.)
After our run we had breakfast in the Arts Quest building.
Then, Golden Harper co-founder of Altra gave us a lesson on running form. It was all information that I know from learning about Chi Running (from Coach Steve) but he also had a few new exercises and drills to help with form. And I loved them! **I’m going to share the running form info in a separate post about form soon.
Reach for the moon!
The next session was presented by ProForm featuring their new yoga equipment. They gave us a foldable yoga mat, block, workout band and foam roller in a super cute bag. (SEE BELOW – I already have a lot of this stuff so I’m going to give it away to you!)
Stuft Mama working her new foam roller.
The company goal with this gear was to make it cute, but affordable so the price point is reasonable for everyone.
After the run clinic we had a lunch featuring recipes from the new Runner’s World Cook Book.
This was the impressive menu –
I’d say my favorite was the mushroom tacos. The mushrooms were seasoned so well I went back for more. They get this Mexican’s stamp of approval!
Plus dessert!
I met the editor of the book Joanna Sayago Golub is also the food editor for the magazine. I asked her what is the most popular recipe RW has published. She said Deena Kastor’s pizza recipe from a few years back (that is in the book) is probably in the top ten. Um, I’m totally trying that soon!
As we wrapped up lunch Olympic Gold Medalist Summer Sanders, who was running the half marathon, came to talk with us. She just walked right in and started talking to people without a fancy introduction. Sanders was very down-to-earth and friendly (I saw her after the half too).
She told us the story about going to the Olympic trials when she was 15. (She just missed it and really believes it was for the best.) And talked about how she was addicted to that nervous feeling before a swim meet – now running gives her that feeling.
After all that fun we headed to the race expo for our bibs and bags.
The expo was one of the ways you can see that this race was put on by runners for runners! There weren’t a ton of vendors, but all the ones that were there are reputable, relevant organizations.
The group also stopped at the iFit booth to check out their amazing Boston Marathon treadmill. The company organized a contest for us bloggers and I actually won one of the treadmills they were giving away!
My phone died at this point though so I don’t have a lot of pics of the expo. It actually died every day at some point, which was really frustrating (and the reason I don’t have video of the end of the 10k or half marathon). But, I already ordered a new one that is on it’s way – hopefully it will get here before I leave town again this weekend!
After the expo reader Katie spotted me waiting on the street corner for my van. Since my phone was dead Tina took this pic for us. Katie did the hat trick too! How’d it go?
Spirit of the Marathon II
From the expo we headed back to the hotel for dinner and a movie. I heard Spirit of the Marathon II was going to be shown on Friday night and I signed up before hand. Then, I convinced SR, Janae and Linda to come with me. We ended packed up food and jammed on it to get there just in time.
I am so so glad we went! The movie was great.
Here is my full super not in depth review of Spirit of the Marathon II = I loved it.
However…. I didn’t think it was as good as the first one, but I really loved the first one.
This movie told the story of a handful of runners doing the Rome Marathon (part I focused on runners at the Chicago Marathon). I liked that it told some very heart wrenching stories from the runners (like Cliff Scott’s story who I met at the 10K).
But, I wasn’t as inspired as I was after part I. I think I liked part I better because the stories spoke to me – a runner training and getting sidelined due to injury, a slower but super likeable older male runner and of course… Deena Kastor. Love love love. But you know I do want to do the Rome Marathon now.
After the movie we called it a night because we had the 5k / 10k in the morning.
Giveaway!
Runner’s World and ProForm really hooked me up with great stuff on this trip! I LOVE it! But I already have a foam roller, yoga block and gym bag – so I want to pass it on to you! (I unwrapped the yoga block to use in the session, but that’s it – it’s still new.) I will send you this stuff plus a few extras!!

Question: What color is your current gym bag?
Contest open to anywhere I can ship it from the USA (so residents of Mars are out). Closes 10/22 at 8pm PST.
Disclaimer: I was invited to these race weekend events by Runner’s World. All opinions are my own.
Purple! My favorite color and also it’s a Planet Fitness bag.
My gym bag is a City Sports drawstring backpack I got when I ran a race they sponsored. It gets the job done!
My current gym bag is white with a red bullseye – get it – its a target plastic bag – my gym bag ripped a few months to a year ago and never pickedup a new one
My current gym back is pink and white (I’ve been using my Victoria’s Secret overnight bag for quite some time)
My current gym bag is black. I use a draw-string bag I got as my “swag bag” from an RnR race!
My gym bag is yellow with red flowers. It’s an open top tote bag that kind of gets on my nerves since everything falls out when it tips over. I should get a new one!
Usually my gym bag is whatever grocery bag is readily available. I try to use one of my reusable grocery bags if I want to feel a little classy!
I don’t currently have a gym bag…so no color, but this would be perfect!
My current gym bag is NEON Orange and black trim! I love it!! 🙂
Navy!
The current color of my gym bag is invisible, because I don’t have one.
My current gym bag is blue!
My current bag is Vera Bradley baroque print so it’s green, black and white.
My gym bag is tie-dye purple!
My current gym bag is blue!
My gym bag is blue. I’ve had it for years and it’s been a good friend and carry on, too!
My gym bag is black. It’s falling apart too. I’m pretty classy.
My gym bag is black…and it’s not so much a gym bag as it is a free drawstring bag I got at a race! So sad :-/
It’s a boring navy blue and black… NOTHING as awesome as the bag YOU have to giveaway 😉
It’s pink and green, I totally need a new one!!
A very boring yellow. It actually looks like baby puke.
My gym bag is black
My bag is a light blue!
Gym bag? What’s that? Sounds nice.
My bag is a grey and blue backpack.
I don’t have a new gym bag because my last bag fell apart last month! I was using an old freebie bag from the San Jose RnR and the strap ripped off :/
My gym bag is blue, but I never see it since it sits on the bottom of my closet as an extra drawer for my workout clothes. So I guess technically, the bag I take to the gym is a canvas bag from Safeway. I’m super trendy
I just realized I don’t even have a gym bag! How sad is that?
My bag was pink…but the cats destroyed it. So now it’s a plastic grocery bag. =(
My bag is pink.
Tie-Dye! My mother made it for me as a birthday gift a few years ago and it is totally a reflection of my desire to be a hippie 🙂
Black
Black!
How fun! My gym bag is white and red (with some dirty spots on it) :).
What an awesome experience! My bag is red
I’m still using my black gym bag from high school….almost 20 years old! I’d love a change!
Cotton candy pink!
Uhh…. I don’t have one.. I just use a Walmart bag. So I’d say my gym bag is either gray or white.. Depending on the walmart…. 🙂
My current gym bag is black with neon trim…1993 called, it’s fine…ps do you have the new runnersworld cookbook?! how is it? because i think about it all the time!
Sounds and looks like a great weekend. Thanks for the links to more blogs!
Gym bag?! Oh yeah I use my all purpose Trader Joe’s canvas bag. It is the dark mauve edition with wine, bread and cheese in the print. It is simple but it makes me happy. 🙂
Bright, bright yellow!!!
Pink!
Gym bag is a grey and black bag that my dad gave me that he got for free. yay for free! 🙂
Grey…eww. I got it for free with a magazine. i think it was Cosmo.
Black–but I’d rather have purple or pink 🙂
I have a black bag!
It is black 🙂
Ready for shock & awe? I don’t have a legit gym bag. Sometimes I go ghetto and use a plastic Target bag if I’m changing my shoes out. I know embarrassing & pathetic all wrapped up into one.
Black.
My current gym bag doesn’t have a color, because I don’t have a bag. I’m the crazy lady that comes in with hands full of what I need. It’s ghetto, I know, but I haven’t found a bag that I want to spend money on…
burlap. it’s from TJ’s 🙂
Uh I dont really have a gym bag. I have a million different tote bags and I use whichever one is closest to my bed at the time. My favorites have Mickey Mouse on them though 🙂
Currently my gym bag is my green backpack. Or a Spider-Man bag that belongs to my son. I technically don’t have a real gym bag. 🙂
Mine is baby blue!
I usually go with a small black Puma bag for bringing gym stuff to work. Some days its just all thrown into one of my reusable shopping bags. But I really don’t have 1 bag that is my go to/fits my needs.
My current bag is red and has definitely seen better days lol
I wish I had a gym bag! I usually everything in a purse or a backpack, which is why I would love to win this giveaway!! I also love foam rolling at the gym. It helps my hurt hip. I’m gonna ask for a gym bag for Christmas!
My gym bag is lime green, but I’m eyeing a new yellow one (yellow is just the happiest of colors!)
I actually don’t have a gym bag but I have a blue bookbag…does that count?
Teal–it’s great. But I need to get started in foam rolling. Any tips for choosing a roller or recommendations of resources for the actual rolling?
What gym bag….it’s a tote bag that’s about 12 years old and fairly foul. Something new and spacious would be given a loving home.
My gym bag is gray with turquoise straps and accents. It’s from Old Navy and nothing fancy, but it does have a “wet clothes” compartment and tons of little pockets, so it works for me!
My gym bag is…well…currently a black tote I have from a recent wine event I went to. So I bring a bag advertising wine to the gym. But it’s all about balance, right? Right.
My gym bag is Neon 🙂
My gym bag is the first bag I grab in my house; grocery bag, lulu lemon bag or a purse.
I don’t have an actual gym bag. I use a canvas tote bag and it’s kind of a cream color.
Mine is purple, nothing crazy, but finding a gym bag that I liked was hard:)
My gymbag is purple and pink!
I use an ugly navy and green bag that I got from my office! I am in desperate need for a cute new gym bag (and a foam roller), and this one looks so pretty!!
My current bag is a nice boring canvas tan color. Hand-me down from a friend!
My gym bag is purple!
Turquoise (thank goodness for spell check) it actually an old purse that is big enough to hold all my goodies and if you don’t get too close to me you would never know its a purse!!
Whoops! As usual, I didnt even answer the question….My bag is black and white:)
My gym bag is neon green and black..something I picked up last minute one day at Target. At least it has lots of pockets.
By the way, congrats on winning a treadmill! That’s awesome!
I live super close to my gym and never need to shower there so I just bring one of those tiny thirty-one bags with a small towel, my phone and headphones and my gloves.
My current gym bag is a black & red Lululemon bag.
Black. So it does not get dirty (and shows it…)
My current gym bag is my fiancee’s old black backpack…I really should upgrade!
I do not have a gym bag – this would be an awesome way to get one!! 😀
I use a Red String Bag as my Gym Bag. Thanks for giving away these items. I really need a new Yoga Mat.
My current gym bag is gray and black.
My gym bag is blue, and is in really bad shape! I hope that I win! 🙂
Mine is bright yellow, with black and yellow striped handles!
I use my purse. Technically it’s a duffel bag but it’s cute enough to pass as a purse and it’s leopard print…I work out on my lunch break and I got tired of having to bring my entire home with me on my arms, so I got it all into one big, giant bag!
Hello!
My current gym bag is a gray adidas duffle bag. I used it for my first sprint triathlon when I was 16 years old and every race since. Now at 24 I think my favorite bag is nearing its end! My husband recently borrowed it for a weekend of camping, and it came home looking more “loved” than ever before 🙂 HA!
Thanks for sharing all about your time at RW. Your post makes me want to try the hat trick next year! I’m from PA originally, and it’s always nice to go home again 😀
My bag is yellow, old and probably smells. Love your blog!
Yellow! (Old yellow backpack from high school – so sad.)
My gym bag is black. And old.
Looks like you had a fab weekend!
Blue!
My gym bag is bright purple…I didn’t think it was that notable until people started coming up to me on campus and saying they recognized me from afar by my bag!
I’m using my son’s blue adidas string bag! so sad
I currently use a bag I use for everything, it’s flower print on one side and yellow on the other, reversible!
I currently use a pink Vera Bradley tote as my gym bag but would love an actual one!
My current gym bag is a coral floral print, because it’s also my beach bag, which means it has a nice sand layer at the bottom. Sand = beach, beach = gym motivation. boo-yah.
My lovely gym bag is rotated between a few different reusable bags I have lying around. A canvas bag with the target symbol (I do my love tar-gee). A DSW resusable bag which says “Shoe-Lover,” I can’t deny my love for shoes either! And if all else fails, my arms hold a fair amount of stuff.
Mine was red originally. Now it is just a gym bag and I only use it when it’s dark outside so nobody sees me with it 😉
My Gym Bag is a Lululemon bag that’s the color of the handles of the bag you’re giving away! It’s that pinky purple color! The inside is multi colored! Looks like you guys had an awesome time! I drooled at the Boston Marathon treadmill from afar at my running expo this weekend…I wish I had gone and tested it out! That’s awesome that you won one! 🙂
I just started exercising so I don’t really have a gym bag. I am using a Vera Bradley bag as one. It is mostly pink.
Gym bag is neon orange.
Great photos! I too would love to live in a place where Fall is a real season. Haha
Mine is black with yellow stitching. It was the finishers gift at the 2012 Ashland Whistlestop Marathon/Half-marathon race. ( I did the half) Love it!
My gym bag is pink and very small. Would love to win a new one!
My bag is black! Looks like you had an awesome time!
My gym bag is gray. It looks like you had a great time! Summer Sanders still looks the same as when she hosted Figure It Out back on Nickelodeon in the late 90’s!!
My current gym bag is black and boring and ugly! Help a girl outttt!
Green and all ratty and tattered. 🙂

I just use an old lululemon shopping bag. I’d love a real gym bag that is cute and functional!
I love the adventures you post about. They’re inspiring me to run, run, RUN!!!!
My “gym bag” is more like a bulky duffle bag (with the potential for having a broken zipper), but it fits my boxing gloves when I need them. It’s purple plaid.
I don’t even have a proper gym bag – I use some ugly brown bag that I got free somewhere.
My gym bag currently contains: a razor, dirty running clothes from this AM, running shoes, straightener, makeup bag, blowdryer, round brush, hair gel (because I never use the blowdryer/straightener/round brush), and extra pairs of undies and socks (just in case…) 🙂

I don’t have a gym bag, I have sadly been acting everything in my hand
Mine is tan – it’s actually an NPR membership bag. Dorky, yes:)
Gym bag is blue.
I don’t have a proper gym bag, I’m using a free Victoria’s Secret black tote bag I got a few years ago with a purchase. It gets the job done until I can afford a proper one! Haha
I don’t have a gym bag, so this would be great!
My curreny gym bag is black.
I use a black duffel that I won in a race last year – it is nice and small 🙂

I don’t have a gym bag, I usually throw my stuff in my son’s batman backpack. 🙂

My gym bag is the color of my freckled white arm! I just grab my stuff and head out the door, usually dropping something as I do! HELP!

Super dirty light pink
To be honest, my current gym bag is somewhere in the back of my closet because I’m on hiatus at 38 weeks pregnant. My legs are antsy as can be for a race and not running at least one half marathon this fall is just driving me crazy! My last 5k was at 34 weeks and I just can’t do much more at this point in time. So… my current “gym” bag is actually my grey and white chevron diaper bag which is packed and waiting to go to the hospital. Hopefully I get a real gym bag back soon! 🙂
My bag is an aqua blue. It’s fine enough but a bit of an awkward shape.
Mine is black and tan… Freebie from my squad.
My gym bag is pink. Well, technically my sister’s gym bag is pink, but she’s never getting it back. 🙂
Stripes, I always try to keep it bright and cheery!
Mine gym bag is pink/purple with some grey accents.
Awesome giveaway, and awesome weekend for you!!!
I don’t have a “gym bag” at the time. I’ve been using my old backpack, which is orange. At least it is a cheery color!
My current gym bag is blue. 🙂
I have a “race” bag that I lug around with me to races, it is black. I don’t have anything really important in it and it just sits in the car while I run but I feel naked if I don’t bring it. I think it weighs about a hundred pounds because every time I get samples of free drinks after the race I throw them in the bag and then forget to take them out.
my gym bag is pink 🙂
I have no gym bag…saddest thing ever! 🙁
The bag I use is the re-usable handle bag from the Surf City Marathon I ran in 2013. Bragging rites! 🙂
This one looks like a gem–thanks for the fun give-away.
My current gym bag is black with neon color, sounds cool, but the strap makes this AWFULLY loud squeaking noice when i walk a mile to/from the gym. save me from the embarrassment! lol
I dont have a gym bag currently. I just bring essentials but that gym bag looks nice and roomy!
I usually just use my reusable whole foods bag as my “purse” and lug everything in there for the day. Right now, it says “Okey Dokey Artichokey” 🙂
My current gym bag is pink.
My current gym bag is black (boring!)

Well currently I use a lil black bag I got from one of my races! Love all the stuff, the bag looks super cute!
My gym bag is white and blue and I love it! I watched the first spirit of the marathon movie but I haven’t seen the second one yet. Sounds like a good rainy day movie.
I’m loving your posts about your busy weekend in PA! Looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the giveaway, my gym bag is either an old purple backpack from college (15 yrs ago!!) or old silver gym bag. I keep thinking I should get a new one.
Right now, I don’t really have a gym bag – I use a souvenir tote bag from Alabama to carry my workout gear to work if I plan on getting in a run while I’m there. It’s orange!
Right now I use my small Vera Bradley duffel as a gym bag at home and at school I just take my backpack to practice with me… No official gym bag really.my backpack is black a Nike, and my Vera is black with elephants on it
my gym bag is pink! i take it everywhere!
also inspired by your hat trick…i now have something to add to my bucket list, thank you!
congrats!
My gym bag is purple.
I just have a boring black Athleta gym bag but it fits everything so well!
I don’t have a gym bag…I don’t go to the gym…but when I need to pack my stuff to go run I just throw it in a bag that I’ve gotten from an RNR race.
Mine is red, I won it from my gym a few years ago for doing the most laps in the pool that year haha. I’d love a new one, it’s getting old.
My gym bag WAS just a cinch type bag that I got a at a Jeep event, but I misplaced it while volunteering at the Hershey Half marathon this weekend. So winning a new one would be perfect!

My gym bag is green and says “Emerald Ash Borer- Unlucky for Kentucky”. I need a new one!
Ah. Way to share 🙂 I want to win cause my gym bag is some freebie drawstring book bag I got at Arie like 4 years ago. Yep. Keeping it high class here. Not to mention, when I do yoga at my gym I use their disgusting, who knows who else has sweat on it and not cleaned it off, mats.
Seriously. That race/convention was like a running and blogger mecca. I want to go so badly. It looked like so much fun!
Black

My gym back is black. I could really use a foam roller!
I use an old duffel bag
My swimming back is black and Maroon, and the backpack I use for the gym is grey.
my gym bag is purple and orange! nothing like being bright and hard to miss
I do myself and the universe a favor by not letting my running clothes ferment in a bag. So no gym bag. Come to think of it I don’t have a gym either so that actually makes a lot of sense.
when i have a bag to carry stuff for after work, it’s zebra print with pink trim!
Invisible….it does not exist 🙂
my bag is old and gross and black! this bag is great and would be wonderful for my half marathon training!
I don’t even have a gym bag, so this will definitely be helpful. I just keep everything in my car and shower back at home.
My gym is khaki and black! FYI…I loved following all of the amazing bloggers this past weekend!
My gym bag is pink!
I don’t have a gym bag but my yoga mat bag is green
I don’t have a gym bag anymore! My last one busted, and my gym membership has been frozen all summer while I’ve been running/training. Now that I’m back in the gym, my basic black work backpack is (poorly) doing the job and I definitely need a replacement.
My current bag is plain, black, and boring.
Plain old black!

My current gym bag is a well-loved purple beauty, though she unfortunately is starting to rip in the lining :(. The weekend looked amazeballs!
My bag is a khaki color with black trim.
That sounds like sooooo much fun! I want to run the hat trick next year after reading all about it from you and Tina.
I don’t have a gym bag so this would be AMAZING to win!
Deep Red…but it recently broke so…

My gym bag is black and pink!
I use my Vera weekender bag (light blue and brown) when I go to spin class and it has totally gotten nastified from carrying my sweaty spin clothes and towel around.
Sounds like an awesome weekend! Love your blog.
Only the girliest color out there, hot pink!
No gym bag. I always attempt and fail to carry everything in my arms and throw it in the closest locker before I drop it all 🙂
My gym bag is black and pink!
My current gym bag is a blueish green. 🙂
I always end up using my reusable shopping bags which sounds so lame!
My current gym bag is black. It was a gift after one of my last seasons swim coaching. I love it! But I would also love a new foam roller, too :).
Mine is pink! And starting to stink from storing my sweaty gym clothes and shoes. It needs a big febreze bath or needs to be replaced very soon…

My gymbag is piink, gray and orange from Reebox. I love it but it’s starting to get all faded 🙁
My current gym bag is grey and lime green – not quite as ugly as it sounds, but it’s definitely seen better days and is totally ready for retirement!
I alternate between my awesome Ogio cycling bag and a random bag. The Ogio bag is ridiculously large but holds EVERYTHING, and the other bag is something I got from a previous race that I use as something of a briefcase as I carry things to and from work. I could use an upgrade to my bag and to my foam roller 🙂
My current gym bag is a red freebie string backpack thing that advertises doggy doo-doo pick up. Yep, I’m cool!
My gym bag is black (kind of boring).
My current gym back is black and boring.
I don’t have a gym bag :/ I alternate between a few random bags and therefore end up being totally unorganized. Having a dedicated bag would be great!

My gym back is purple and it took me months to find it and i love it.
Looks like you had a great time! My gym bag is huge and teal!
My gym back is blue, but it’s from Victoria’s Secret so it says “Love Pink” on the outside. So basically, my bag is a liar.

I technically have two gym bags. My favorite one is a coral color. The other one that I use is dark blue.

I don’t have an ‘official’ gym bag but use a crazy pink, green and orange bag to throw my stuff in if I’m planning to run after carpool in the morning. It’s a bit obnoxious but no one sees it! 🙂

Your weekend looked amazing…loved all the recaps…can’t wait to hear more details on the running form…always can use hints there. Thanks!

My gym “bag” is a Work Out World backpack I got for free when I belonged there 8 eight years ago.

PS that foam roller has my name all over it 🙂
congrats on the treadmill! my gym bag is currently a nasty old work bag-time to upgrade!
I’ve just discovered your blog and I’m really enjoying it. I started running again in February, did a 3,5 K race in September and loved it. Now I’m looking for a new running challenge. Besides running I take zumba, pilates & bodypump classes. When I have a day off from work I enjoy yoga too. My gym bag is beige with orange flowers, but it’s sadly falling apart.
Blinding bright yellow w some rips and stains. 🙂
My gym bag’s a freebie from swim I did this summer: blue with a logo. Not too exciting but better than nothing!

I don’t have a gym bag and use a black backpack instead. I’d love to win a real gym bag!

Well this is embarrassing, but every gym bag of mine is black.
I love black. What can I say? I have rule if I want to buy a new purse it must be a color that I don’t currently own… maybe I need to start applying this rule to the other bags in my life!
Red with a hole in it….
I currently throw all my gym stuff into a backpack or reusable grocery bag, ha! I’d love to win this one and THEN I could tell you what color it is. 😉
i don’t have one! which is why i look like a slob wearing my gym clothes to class every day…i did it all through undergrad and now i’m continuing the unfashionable tradition in grad school. :/
I have like 8 gym bags… but my fav is the orange one. 🙂

Wow that looks like it was such an awesome time! Unfortunately I am without a gym bag and am using plastic grocery bags it’s not working out so well ha ha ha.
my current gym bag is black
My current bag is a yucko brown color AND it’s falling apart! Glad you at a great time in my home state although I am on the other end in Pittsburgh! You need to come here next spring and do the Pittsburgh Marathon. There is a local bakery that, in my opinion, has the BEST chocolate chip cookies!

Mine is green! It’s actually my husbands..but you know how it goes. :]
I use a few different bags, but the one I use most it blue.

My black diaper bag doubles as my gym bag right now.
My bag is bright pink.
My gym bag is: old, worn in, and adorably mint green.
Imagine my surprise as I was scrolling through and saw my picture! Glad I was all cute at the expo and not sweaty and in pain after the races. My races were super-slow, even for this slow runner. I even had a little bit of a panic attack the morning of the half (sat in a corner and tried to pretend I wasn’t crying). I was all better by the time I got to the start, though. Training hasn’t been going well since I did an 18-mile race at the beginning of September. Newbie overtrained and burned out a little? Big surprise. I had tons of fun, though, and fully intend to come back next year with a bunch of friends and knock at least an hour off my total time.
Gray and definitely not as stylish as that one!
A multicolor jansport or a large lululemon shopping bag 🙂
My gym bag is pink, would love a new one though!

My gym bag is navy…but no where near as cute as this one!
I don’t have a gym bag. How sad is that?
I don’t have a gym bag. All of my workouts happen at home!
My bag is black! Sometimes I try to carry in everything I need and it’s never pretty.
My gym bag is hot pink with sequins. No joke. It looks like an 80s disco ball.
I have a large purple one I use when I have to take all my running gear, and a smaller black one that I use for boot camp!
I rotate through 3 bags a red one, pink one and black, they are all 3 different sizes!
I don’t have a gym bag. This answer should get me two entries ; )
I actually do not have a gym bag! I just throw my stuff into a cloth grocery bag (cheap and effective but can get smelly)
A old high school drawstring field hockey bag and that’s when I’m organized!
I really need to win because I don’t even have a gym bag!
My bag is black and has holes in it. PICK ME! haha- you’d be helping a sister out for sure. I need a foam roller so badly too.
Sounds like a fabulous weekend! My gym bag is pink!
I don’t currently have a gym bag, so mine is INVISIBLE!
I’m so jealous of this whole trip, can’t even lie! lol
My current gym bag… is whatever color my massive purse is for the day (I should really stop throwing sweaty clothes into my work bags…)
Thanks for the fun updates of all of the fun that you had out there. I loved reading everyone’s blog posts…next best thing to being there. My gym bag is red with a big Cabo San Lucas across it and is in need of a major cleaning. I think I have petrified Cliff shot bloks in the bottom from my marathon training days. Enjoy your day and rest up for your upcoming race.
My gym bag is black like the early winter morning. This is when I need to wake up to run- before my brain realizes what is going on 🙂
I’ve been putting off getting a gym bag so this would be great! Looks like you had an amazing time on your trip!
My current bag is bright pink…. and covered in sparkles! 🙂
My gym bag is black & pink and says “Peace.Love.LipGloss”
I don’t really have a gym bag — my husband donates a lot of blood and they give him bags all the time, and my work gave me one, but they don’t really speak to me…
FUN!!
My bag is pink!
I use a pink vera Bradley bag for my gym bag. I hate that I have to use it, I’d prefer a bag that I can put in wet stuff too.
My bag is a Fuchsia and Purple combo that is BOOM bright. But its starting to rip, because I’ve had it for 4 years. It has gone through undergrad and Graduate school with me 🙂
Mine’s just a canvas bag that I hand-painted
My current gym bag is basic black to hide how dirty it gets. Congrats on the hat trick! Good luck next weekend 🙂
Well, sadly, my gym bag doesn’t have a color because I don’t own one! 🙁 But if I did it’d be green. 🙂
I font have one and I need one, please!!!
I go between a navy blue one and a canvas tote depending on if it’s a running/gym day or yoga day.
Both are always in my car fully equipped incase I change my mind halfway thru the day
Green!
Black. I love black clothing and accessories
My gym bag is currently a reusable bag from Cracker Barrel which makes me hungry everytime I look at it…counter intuitive?
My gym bag is supposed to be navy blue with accents of pink, and a pink liner, but there’s so many holes in the blue that it’s more of a pink colour now…
My bag is navy and orange!
My gym bag is maroon…it’s a team bag that has survived from my years of swimming.
My current gym bag is pink and has a bunch of random HOLES in it! So a new gym bag would be excellent. 🙂
Hi Monica! I have to say that you really have inspired me to keep running when I want to give up and just go back home. I love your blog for all of your opinions, your TJ food reviews and for your red-headed spunk!
BTW the color of my gym bag is purple. 🙂
Mine is two different shades of blue.
My gym bag is hot pink!
My “gym bag” if you want to call it that (it’s a giant old purse) is lime green. I’m so totally jealous you won a Boston treadmill! Those things are legit!
My gym bag is Just a black Rutgers draw-string!
Pink 🙂 Random expo purchase… I am in desperate need of a foam roller! 🙂
I don’t even have a gym bag, I use random tote bag.
Is it bad that I don’t even have a gym bag because I refuse to join a gym and will staunchly run outside all winter long. Hello Chicago weather! I’m probably not going to make it. A gym bag would be nice.
Mine is pink! I loved the first “Spirit of the Marathon” as well!
My gym bag is currently a very bright pink.
The RW Event looked awesome! Loved reading all of your bloggers’ insights on it…it also gave me a few new running blogs to start reading 🙂
I’m embarrassed to say I don’t have one! I usually stuff all the stuff I need in my purse
My gym bag is dark blue!
My current gym bag is a lil back pack from a hot chocolate race, I need an upgrade badly 🙂
This trip sounded wonderful! Glad you had a good time. My gym bag is a denim self-made bag with awesome skulls on the inside.
My bag is black and purple
VERY boring black- and breaking! Help me! 🙂
My gym bag is white and brown…not cute!
I use one of the ‘re-useable’ bags I got from Lululemon! I would love to win a cute new bag!
I don’t have a gym bag currently…yikes!
My “gym bag” isnt really a gym bag at all… It’s a free Vera Bradley market tote I got with a purchase, but it’s mostly purple! I’d love all this gear!!!
My current gym bag is blue. But I’d love a shiny silver one 😛
Love all the posts!
Thanks for the generosity…my bag is boring black right now 🙁
My gym bag is whatever my current purse is… so right now it is brown!

Looks like you had a great weekend! Sounds like a lot of fun!
My current gym back is a black drawstring bag.
My bag is all of the colors of the rainbow.
Pink! I need to get back into yoga after running my 2nd half marathon!
My gym bag is black. My wife says it goes with everything.
Wow- lots of green gym bags so far. Mine’s green too. Kind of an army green. Definitely not as pretty as that one.
My gym bag at one point was probably an off-white but currently it’s more of a dirty brown with some flowers on it. It’s a one strap bag so I can just sling it over my shoulder when I’m running late but I sure would like a new cut bag that isn’t 5 years old and crusty for trotting to the gym. This post has made me realize I really should wash that bag so thanks for that! 🙂
No gym bag 🙁 obvi this needs to change!
My gym bag is an old Tommy Hilfiger give away bag that I got with some perfume purchase over 10 years ago—- can’t say I’m not thrifty — but it really is time for a new one!!!
Your trip sounds like it was awesome! Good for you
My gym bag is corral and purple! 🙂
I typically only bring my keys, phone, and headphones to the gym but a foam roller for home would be amazinngggg
My bag is black, boring. 🙁
Sounds like a fun weekend! Jealous of meeting Summer Sanders and Bart Yasso! My gym bag is navy and too small for all my gym stuff! 🙂
My bag is purple 🙂
i dont have a current bag! this would be perfect
Navy blue striped 😀
My gym bag is hot pink! Looks like you had an amazing weekend!
What a fun weekend you had!! My sad gym bag WAS navy blue, it fell apart, but that’s good because it was boring!! Ha! 🙂
Gym bag is blue and white and is a hand me down from a friend who works on a cruise ship… It is uuuugly..could use a new one 🙂
My gym bag is purple – my fav color! Thanks for the giveaway, love reading all the recaps from the RW weekend. The hat trick is definitely on my race bucket list now!
Light blue is my bag color- gym bag, softball bag, & giant carry-on travel bag!
I guess the color of my gym bag would be green. I seem unsure because I don’t really own a gym bag, but rather pack all my crap into my backpack to run into the gym whenever I get a chance!
My bag is green!
