Happy Monday! We had a wild weekend full of lots of work and family time. Super Bowl Sunday is always a favorite for me because, like most runners, I love food! Pizza, dips, wings…I want it all. Mary, on the other hand, was a bigger fan of the Puppy Bowl.
This past week was another full one at the gym. I had been putting in plenty of extra hours on the fitness floor, working with new training and health coaching clients. It was great, but I am really looking forward to a slower upcoming week.
I of course also managed to get in lots of mileage this past week, mostly on the treadmill. Actually, it was exclusively on the treadmill.
On Friday I received exciting news that I was accepted back onto the Simple Hydration Running Team for 2017. I am so excited to be a part of this great group once again. I really love the Simple Hydration bottle and truly believe that it’s founder, Brian Hock, is a great business leader. He has done so much for the running community and takes great care of his team of runners.
I also love that Mary has discovered this bottle and enjoys using it!
I’m also excited to be on the team again this year with Elle of A Fast Paced Life. We got the chance to meet briefly in Central Park last spring while Mary ran wildly around in the grass. It was so fun hanging out with a fellow team member and blogger and I am looking forward to another fun year with her and potential race meet ups. If you haven’t already, stop by her blog and give it a like! I love reading about her running adventures and enjoy living vicariously through all of her races.
I plan on being back much more this week with some running tips, healthy living ideas, and life adventures.
How was your weekend? What was your favorite part of the Super Bowl?
Yay! I’m glad that both of us made it back.
BTW, I’m doing Run for the Red Half again. What are your spring races?
Oh I love that one. For now I just have Boston on my plan but we will likely be in Astoria all spring and it would be fun to find some local races that we could run with Mary in the stroller.
Let me know when you’re back in Astoria. I love my old neighborhood and dying to have any excuse to go back.
Also Saturday mornings, NYRR Open Run hosts free runs (around 5K, not sure the exact distance because it varies from site to site) at Astoria Park. http://openrun.nyrr.org/
Awesome to know. Thanks.
I’m actually not a super bowl fan!!! Crazy, I know. But I do enjoy watching the half time and seeing the replays the next day. Don’t get me wrong, if I was invited to a SB party I wouldn’t say no. Congrats on your ambassador opportunity!
Thank you. I was right there with you this year. Not a fan of either team and we didn’t get the game. We are like we did though!
I should add that we camped out at my parents for the first half. Lots of pizza and dessert. That’s what I went for!!
The bonus of being at your parents!
Congrats!!! It’s awesome representing something you really like. And that Elle’s a part of it too is awesome!
Thanks. Yes. Elle is pretty awesome. It’s a fun group.
I have two favorite parts of th… make that three. The Buick commercial that made me laugh out loud, the Patriots winning, and Lady Gaga didn’t get political. I was floored by that last one. Very impressed.
I didn’t get to see Gaga but I’ve only heard amazing things. Fun game from what I got to see!
She wasn’t bad. Not my cuppa tea, but she was entertaining – and her leap from the rafters…. now that was special. She’s got some guts!
Oh, and yes! The game was awesome!
