Headed on Out

October 25, 2012 | fitness, health, running

 

Morning friends! I am headed on out to New Orleans today for the Jazz half marathon! I ran this race in 2010 and really love it, and can’t wait to do it again, even if I am not in the best shape/health, it will still be a blast. New Orleans is an awesome place to race and I love this one not only because it’s smaller and less crowded, but it benefits Children’s Hospital.

Jazz half 2010

Don’t forget about my virtual run this weekend!! If you didn’t tell me you wanted to participate before, that’s ok, you can still join in! All you have to do is run between today and Sunday, and either blog about it and comment here, or post a photo on ZOOMA’s Facebook wall of your run and you will be entered to win PRIZES! Also, either e mail me or leave a comment I would love to know you completed the virtual run and include you (and photo!) in a round up post!

The race will count as my virtual run, I can’t wait to tell you all about it on Monday!

(Also don’t forget if you sign up for ZOOMA Florida and enter code FLAMB4 at checkout you will save 10%!)

I hope you have enjoyed my posts about my Galaxy S3 courtesy of Verizon the past 3 months. I really enjoyed the phone! If you missed any, here is a recap so you can go back and see what they were all about:

A New Ambassador

Thanks so much to Verizon for this amazing opportunity to be a part of a very cool program, I really enjoyed it!

Don’t forget, It’s domestic violence awareness month, and every time you share a photo into the contest, Verizon will donate $1 to the national dating abuse hotline!

 

QOTD: What has been your favorite destination race?

Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Wireless Ambassador program and have been provided
with a wireless device and three months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the
product.

    I LOVE destination races! I started coordinating my vacations around races and it’s been a great experience. So far my favorite has been Disneyland, but I’m really excited this summer to head to Chicago for Rock n Roll Chicago

    Good luck in your race! I hope that you’re feeling better.

    I have 2 favorite destination races, either would actually get me training for a marathon again. #1 is the Paris Marathon, my all time favorite. I’ve done it twice. A close 2nd is the Honolulu Marathon. Aloha!

    kick some boooootay this weekend! Sometimes having the least expectations, and just going out to have FUN in a race ends up having the best results! less pressure or something? not quite sure what it is! 😉

    Good luck this weekend!! The only two destination races I’ve run are the Chicago Marathon and Marine Corps Marathon but for some reason, those don’t feel like destination races to me! I would to run the Paris Marathon or Honolulu.

    I’ve only done one half, and it was the Princess. It was certainly very fun to go to Disney to race. Now I need to try DL.

It will be YOU. 🎄 They don’t know it yet. But whe It will be YOU. 🎄

They don’t know it yet. But
when they’re grown and starting
their own Christmas traditions,
it will be you they mirror.
Your family recipes,
the Christmas songs,
the nostalgic smell.

When they think of Christmas,
it will be YOU, not the presents
that they remember.

You are their memories.
You are their magic.
You are their Christmas. ❤️🎄

So slow down. Stop worrying if the presents are wrapped just right, if you baked enough cookies or picked out the right cards to send. It doesn’t matter. They will remember YOU.

Snow tubing… indoors… in the Smokies! ❄️⛰️ #sponso Snow tubing… indoors… in the Smokies! ❄️⛰️ #sponsored

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

❄️ Save this for your holiday trip to the Smokies, and comment the word Snow and I will send you my exclusive discount code right to your inbox!
