First and most importantly —> Brooke’s 14.5 month update is on HRG BABY!!!
Second, the winner of the Albion Fit Giveaway is….
Just the normal Sunday over here.
We had a baked potato bar (it was my idea, I made sure that everyone thanked me for my brilliance). Yes… Vegetables, bbq chicken, cheese and sour cream are all delicious on top of a baked potato.
Brooke now thinks Maggie is her big pillow and constantly wants to cuddle with her (even though Maggie is a very good dog and extremely kind we always have an adult’s hand right there when Brooke is near her to be safe).
Bffs for life.
minus the Hershey Bars (because we didn’t have any)
added M&Ms
My mom gave an honest review and she prefers the Hershey Bars version… Just FYI when you make these (because I promise that you should make these).
When they came out of the oven Brooke walked on over and pointed to them as she asked in baby language for a piece. We told her no because they were too hot and she dramatically flung her body on the ground. Like mother like daughter.
So… remember how I signed up to run CIM next month? Yeah, I’m not doing it anymore. Long story short is I have some personal reasons that I am no longer going to be able to do the race (nothing running or injury related).
But NOW I am stoked to do the Phoenix Marathon on 3/1/14!!!!!! (I spy Jake:)
I have heard nothing but great things about this race and I can’t wait to get out there and run it. The temps will be perfect, I have family there (and a lot of friends doing it) and I will be more than ready to run fast.
They offer a full marathon, 1/2 marathon, 10k and Kids’ Fun Run. It is a Boston Qualifier (and the 1/2 marathon is an Olympic Qualifier course) and over 10,000 runners are expected for the 2014 races. It is going to be a good time! I feel like we should all meet in Phoenix and do this together… mkay… see you soon.
The Phoenix Marathon is giving away a Garmin 10 to one lucky reader (you can read my review for the Garmin 10 HERE). Giveaway ends 11/8/13.
PS how did she grow up so fast?!?!
Use the code: hungry10 to get $10 off of your registration! Prices increase tonight (11/4) at 11:59 so sign up now:)

I would fling myself on the ground if I couldn’t have dessert, too! I ran 3 races this fall just using the app on my phone. I know it’s about .25 off which is a LOT. A Garmin would be awesome! Thanks for the giveaway :)

Okay, here’s my something random…my son’s 6th bday is tomorrow. Tonight I made him a layer cake and as always, I was too impatient to wait for the cake to cool completely before frosting. So, when I added the frosting, my top layer just kept sliding off. And, I was reminded once again why cookies and brownies are much more my thing!! :)

Random: I tried to run my 2nd marathon in two weeks yesterday. Due to a combo of hip pain and the stomach flu that I started feeling around mile 10 but didn’t realize the full impact of until shortly after I quit at mile 17, I didn’t finish. In a weird way, I’m kind of proud of myself for stopping b/c I hate quitting but I knew I’d be doing more harm than good if I kept going…

While I am sad you aren’t able to do CIM, I’m super jazzed you’ll be doing Phoenix!, (I am too!) Maaaybe you can come visit our running club, Arizona Track n Trail… We are Gilbert based. If not, you’ll see a whole lot of us and our gold shirts on the course!

I’m sad that we don’t get to see you break the 3hr in the marathon sooner! :-( It is going to happen in Phoenix for sure. PS…CIM is where I ran my first marathon.

I saw someone praying when I was running, then that same person started yelling gross comments. I’m pretty sure that’s nit how its supposed to work.
Carrie
I want to win! My Garmin is like 10 years old and it really looks so nerdy when I wear it, so I pretty much only use it if I am running with the jogger and then I can strap it on the handlebar. And for random, tomorrow my hubs and I are hopping on a plane to Paris! And leaving kids at home with Grandma & Grandpa. We have never left them, so I am nervous but also super excited.
Katie Slade
I need it because it will make me fast like you:)! I wish. Haha

I’d love to win because I am just now training and determined to BQ again. I did before pregnancy and would love to now. The Garmin could help me get a good idea of my pace.
I can’t help but think that you WILL qualify for the marathon trials with that killer half marathon time of yours. Maybe it’s a blessing you are running this one instead : )

Cindy
I’d love to win! Although I haven’t been able to run for about 6 weeks due to plantar fasciitis. It is *really* bumming me out. I am seeing a new doctor today so hopefully will be better soon. On the plus side, I started a boot camp today and it felt great!
Have a great day!

Tao
Liked on Facebook. :-) I so want a new watch. All of our family’s watches have been hand-me-downs that are barely hanging on. One has a twisty tie thing holding the band to the watch :-). So every once in awhile we’ll have to make sure the twist tie is still there & twisted tightly. The other watch is picky and whenever it feels like it, will locate a satellite for us. The 3rd is missing components so we can’t upload to the computer. Yes, it’s that sad. Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers. We’re just happy to be able to run together. :-) Would love to win one for the 4th member of our family. She’s 11 and will be running her miler today in her gym class.
