WE RUN SAN FRAN

Running in San Francisco will always hold a special place in my heart. It was my first marathon.  The whole fam-damily came to support me, the first iPhone came out in the brand new apple store in Union square and I threw up 10 times the night before the race. Going back with friends is always a different story. 

The race is now only a 1/2 marathon with a different course. We stay in cute hotels, go to the movies drink coffee all day and eat, a lot!

 We sight see and have the best time.

Till next time San Fran...

SHOE LOVE

My feet love a good shoe, no minimalist here. I try and take good care of these babies, never allowing to many calluses and always painting my toes to make them look cute. These shoes are both amazing and well worth the price. Nikes at $240 and Asics at $160 which I am currently running in. 

Save up, sell something on Craigslist and bite the bullet, your feet, body and run will thank you.

LONG BEACH HALF MARATHON

 I now remember why I loved this run after finding some pictures online.  

Love these girls and loved a free cupcake for after the run too! We did this run two years ago but I always love seeing their sweet faces. 

So after all these amazing pictures snapped from a video, ARE YOU READY?! I can't wait!

Get out and just have fun! It's free! I told our girls today it's like God gave us this play ground. He's RAD! 

FALL INTO FALL

Oh hey Erin, lets be friends! I mean how cute are you in your sweats and booties? 

Baggy sweaters and huge scarves, YES PLEASE!

You might find me at the soccer field in sweats and a faux fur.

Realistically, Victoria is always a true friend. I will be living in sweats this fall. Its my summer time sadness response. 

FOOD DETECTIVE

Girl, this ones for you! Remember, we are free from dieting! And mommy runners, lets be real with each other! You will be driving through that MceeDee's one day or another, don't feel guilty.

Its all in the switch up. 

1. Grab a really yummy chocolate performance protein shake instead of a chocolate milkshake. Seriously, mixed with ice, its close.

2. I love me sum crunch. Find a better option than a chip. I'm not for the celery crunch either, I get it. I can switch to air pop corn though.

3. All fast food is gross. There are those darn unprepared days that we've gone to the drive thru and you can find a healthier option.

4. Stock your freezer. Sounds gross? Nope, these days its better to grab a Lean Cuisine and let those taste buds go crazy for low calorie, small portion. Remember, we made peace with pasta so if you want the chicken alfedo this might be the way.
5. You know Pinterest? Well, get on the bandwagon and search for skinny drinks. See, if you have the mindset of rejecting the diet mentality then you are free of guilt. BUT(!!!) the world isn't there yet. So yes, you're still going to have to say or use the lame word skinny. I'm sure you could use healthy living or green drinks to but I am talking bout' a better option for a sangria or espresso martini. Just bein' real peeps.

SATISFACTION

Changes in life, like a body makeover, should not be taken lightly. Kinda like a marriage. In the end, the hard work of renovation and rebuilding is a huge leap of faith but total satisfaction. Although it would feel great to run in white Lulu's, the confidence knowing that God loves me pushes out any insecurity that comes from negative thoughts. You get those sometimes, right? Challenge yourself and go for it! We're with you every step of the way.
