Run Pink

October 18, 2012 | fitness, running

 

I love racing for many reasons. The competition, to stay active and healthy, to be social, and a great one is to help out a worthy cause. In December, I will be running the Woman’s Half Marathon in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The Woman’s Half Marathon & 10K will benefit the Woman’s Hospital Foundation and will go to support the many services Woman’s provides to women and infants in the community. Then, Run Pink was born. I am honored to be a Run Pink Ambassador, spreading the word about this and other Gulf Coast Event Group races, and answering your questions about the race.

First, the lowdown on the race:

Race Day: Sunday, December 9, 2012
Start Time: 7:00 a.m.
Start/Finish Location: South River Road, between the Baton Rouge River Center & the USS Kidd. – Downtown, Baton Rouge, LA
Weather: Average High Temp: 63 degrees F, Average Low Temp: 42 degrees F

Course Limit: Half Marathon course is open for 4 hours, 10K course is open for 2 hours. *Participants running/walking slower than 4 hour pace will be asked to move to the sidewalks if approached by the sweeper team.

Wellness Boutique & Packet Pick-up
Friday December 7th & Saturday December 8th
Location TBA
10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

It’s going to be a lot of fun, I hope you will consider joining me for this half marathon or 10k. Also, I have a way for you to save some money! If you use code RPAHeather at checkout, you will save $30 on registration!

    Sounds like a great cause to run for! 🙂

    My mom is a breast cancer survivor. When I told her I was considering this race, she instantly said she’d cover my entry fee. So I will be toeing the line and running for her because her determination and fight is a constant source of inspiration for me.

    And I’m planning to run the Long Beach Carnival Classic half in January because it supports our son’s school. I think running in support of a charity that you believe in makes all the difference in the world.

    I love races that benefit a good cause! Combining running and charity brings together two wonderful things. Good for you for getting involved in this awesome event! I haven’t ever chosen a race based on the cause that it benefitted, but I can definitely see myself doing that in the future sometime

    Sounds like a great race and an even better reason to run it!

    I signed up for my next race partially on who was benefiting. The other is it’s 20 miles from my home. The races benefit the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
