happy monday everyone! i've been struggling over the past few weeks to find inspiration
to update this blog. i thought my
writer's block was just because I've been busy with work, working out/running
and my personal life... but i just might be a little burned out. hopefully this funk will pass soon and i’ll
get back to blogging on a regular basis. i’ve added my random ramblings to carissa’s
miscellany monday party! check out
carissa’s blog here and join in on the fun.
{one} running. this past saturday, i ran in the
largest 15k race for the third year in a row – the gate river run. i didn’t have time to write a full recap about
the race, but i wanted to write quickly about some of the race highlights. the race started promptly at 8:30am, but
there were 4 waves to start in order to avoid the congestion all of the runners.
this year there were a total of 15, 569
total finishers, 7409 male finishers and 8160 female finishers. the weather was picture perfect for a morning
race, despite the cool weather when i first woke up. i wore a long-sleeve shirt over my race
shirt, but i removed it before i got to mile three. the course took us on a scenic route
throughout the city where there were tons of fans along the way. one of my favorite part of this race is
getting a ice pop around mile 6 or 7 courtesy of a local family. there were people handing out mimosas, beer,
donut holes and sausages and oranges. if
you didn’t eat breakfast before the race, you could have eaten it there. this race is infamously known for runners
tackling the green monster. the green
monster is also known as the hart bridge.
the last mile of the race took us over the bridge and back to the
stadium. i was pretty happy with my time
this year. my official chip time was 1:30:04.
{two} lululemon. lately, i’ve been going to yoga at
my local lululemon store. did you know
that they offered free yoga classes? i
recently discovered this little perk and i thought i would share it with
you. do you have a lululemon in your
town? if you’re not sure, check out the
store finder here
to find a store in your area and the calendar of events.
