Fit-Fab and Lean 2013

Fit-Fab and Lean 5k/Half Marathon  is the first time that I've ran a "Virtual Race". A Virtual race is when you run when ever you want. Report your race results on Facebook and they send you a Medal:) Easy Right?
I was a little scared to sign up because I had no idea how the Medals would look or if she would even send it to me! But to my surprise it went well. The Organization kept in contact through Facebook and personal email. And the Medals were super cute and nice. I had a great time running and I got a Super Cute Medal.

NYC Marathon 2013

Finally I received my 2013 Confirmation for the NYC Marathon! I'm SUPER excited about having the opportunity to run this Marathon again. With last years Sandy cancellation. I feel like this is my year for finally fulfill my dream of being a Marathon Runner! I have so many things to plan running schedules, a trip to NYC ( I live about 6,000 miles away) New shoes, new running course, TIME!!! Running is my new love but it does take a lot out of me. Mentally and Physically.

26.2 Miles baby lets go!!!!! WOO HOOO!!!

Once again follow me on my journey! This time I'm going to document the whole thing!
 

 

Vista Strawberry Festival 10/5k

Encinitas Sports Festival & B&L Sprint Triathlon!!



 

What do you do on a Saturday morning? Well if you like me you go running. But this time I got my whole family out. Parents, sister and two cousins! I was so happy that everyone had a great time. The Encinitas 5k is a really nice event. There were some of the sweetest volunteers ever. I have never been to a race where everyone was so nice. And I run a lot!!!!

The morning started out early and we headed up to Encinitas.. About a 30 min drive. It's so pretty out there. Right on the coast. Very pretty, I may have to go running up there. We got out race packets and attached our timing chip, We were all set to run!!! Here are some pictures. Oh yeah and we got a really cool Medal!

My family:)

Dana Point Sport-fishing

 Today we spent the day in Dana Point sport Fishing. This was my whole idea, I wanted to try something different. So we headed up to Dana Point about an hour drive from San Diego.
I had fun but  there were not very many fish. As soon as we boarded the boat our captin nicely told us we missed fishing season by 1 month. BOOOOO......... I caught maybe three little fish that i had to throw back into the ocean. The weather was perfect.

Yep that is all that I caught.

Sp proud!

 

Color Me RAD- San Diego 5k

Color me RAD is a super colorful 5k!

You litterly run around throwing color on each other!  I love to run in races like this. Since I run all the time running for a great cause and getting people who do not like to run, out and running is FUN!

Pre race- You show up in a white tee- then by the end of the 5k you are all sparkling!

 

 

It's Electric/ Electric Run 5k-San Diego

Electric run is a fun night of running in the dark with a bunch of Strangers!!! The whole Del Mar Fair Grounds were lit with lights and flashing strobe lights. This 5k took you through tunnels and glow in the dark paved course. Super FUN!!

Safari Park Half Marathon!

I had such a fun time running the Safari Park Half. The morning started out with a 30min drive to Escondido to the North County Fair Mall. From there we ran to the park!! The run was so pretty we saw vineyards, animals, and since it was Cinco De Mayo, there was a man with Beer, Chips and Salsa! Around mile 6 there was a cute cow that you could take pictures with. I was too busy trying to catch up with the 2:20 pace.... I could not catch her so I stayed in front of the 2:30 pacers. Around mile six you hit a long and drawn out hill. The hill is located inside the Park, so you can't see it from the road then all of a sudden it hits you and your thighs!!! Tons of FUN..... NOT!!!!! Mile 13 ended inside the Park with a great crowd cheering us on!!! The half marathon was very challenging for me but fun at the same time. My official time was 2:28:49! Oh yeah I forgot to mention Karen and I wore out Animal Pants!!!

Just as we Crossed the Finish Line!
