Gulf Coast Pensacola Half Marathon

P.S. That's us diving upside down into the unknow... ha!

I did the Gulf Coast Pensacola Half marathon 2012. I also came in last place! go me! What started off as a great weekend suddenly turned into getting sunburned to the point of no return.  The day before the race we hung out on the beach in the morning and it was very over cast and cold. When the sun came out it got me! FRIED I say! My running partner and I met the rest of our group for dinner that night at Flounders and I was hurting! Race day I was miserable. But I showed up and did my thing. Now on with our vacation. Race finished, the fun began. We hung out at Flounders and talked to the water station people who were very entertaining. We shopped we at great food, we swam. We stayed at the Portofino and it was very nice having 2 bedrooms was nice so we could relax and enjoy our down time. There were other restaurants on the boardwalk and we ate a Laguna's it was very good also! And our Fun trip to Envie was great!! We had a spa day to re coupe that was interesting. I was so burnt I basically got a soothing wrap and spent the rest of my time covered head to toe. We still had a blast and it went by way to fast!

Lumpy Space Princess and me.

Ok, we all love Adventure Time right? Well my little boy does and so do I! My friend gave me Lumpy Space Princess and it's so much fun to come up with adventures for her to travel around with me. I take her in my purse most places and it's became kind of a game. So far I've decided she likes to sleep late, take afternoon naps, complain alot and not travel well because of her well Lumps! Here are a few pics lol. Good Times! ( In the first picture she's complaining as usual, picture 2 she's caught napping and picture 3 she thought it was funny to have her picture made with a plastic deer head that looked hillarious! Enjoy.

Running on the Beach

In 2 weeks I will be running a half marathon on the beach. In my running skirt with my best friend. That sentence alone makes me so ecstatic!!I can't flipping wait! Beach time, sand, Ocean and swimming! Does life get any better? They have some really cool places to shop where we are staying and I'm super pumped! Getting "swimsuit ready" is a chore but I feel ready to don one! Got my accessories my DVD list to pack and my running gear ready! We have all trained hard for this up coming race and we will be doing 9 miles and 2 miles this week. I plan on running but lets be honest, I know I will have to walk some. But the view alone is going to be beautiful! 7 a.m. and we start I hope to have it finished in 2 hours and 30 minutes. I think that's a safe bet. Did I mention they have a spa too? I'm way over due for a spa day! Yes that is in my future. I have to give a shout out to our husbands. Who are supportive and encourage us. I didn't realize 13 years ago when I got married, what a wonderful, kind, supportive and generous person I was marrying. He is always proud when I bring home  a medal, even if it's a local 5k. For this I am thankful. Sometimes husbands are nice and managed to find one of those :)
