Oh my GOSH I can hardly take my running shoes off—I’m SO excited about our race next weekend! For some reason, I think if I wear my awesome new lululemon running shorts all week, it’ll come faster!? Cuz my second half-marathon ever, the “Run for the Dream” is only 8 days away!
Well… you ask… what you are most excited about!?
1. Honestly? Because my husband was medically discharged from the military, he is considered a wounded warrior (which means we spend a lot of time rubbing his back and running is very painful for him) BUT! they set us up in a hotel. With a hot tub. YES. (I know, I talked a lot about random things before I got to my point).
2. Running in Williamsburg. It’s gorgeous, I love running in the morning, and this will be the most challenging terrain I’ve ever run.
3. OH MY GOSH this is the 2nd half marathon I’ve EVER done, so I’m uber stoked to KILL it. I know I probably don’t have any new PR’s looming in my future, but I’m excited to do really well 
4. WHAT?!?!?! BUSCH GARDENS!? Yes, we are also given free Busch Garden tickets for the day before/of the race. Seriously. So the day before we are planning on hitting up Busch Gardens and RIDING ROLLER COASTERS! So after running our poor butts off all morning, we get to try out their newest roller coaster the MACH TOWER.
Awesome.
I can hardly wait
What’s your favorite part about races? The support from people during the race? The beer at the end? The excitement from running with thousands of people at a time? There’s so many wonderful things about races that I can’t even begin to count them all!
1) I have a pair of lulu shorties and I too am convinced that they make me run faster. I don’t care if it’s true or not,I’m just gonna keep on believing it.
2) The “Go Random Stranger Go” sign in that picture is awesome.
3) Good luck!
4) Having only run one race, it may be too early to tell what my favourite part about them is but as of right now I think what I like best is the fact that it’s a chance to put all of your hard work of training to the test and prove just how hard you’ve worked. It feels great!
Which shorts do you have? I agree… I think they make me speedier
haha Either way, they look great, I’ve gotten a 100 compliments on them 
The Go Random Stranger Go sign is actually from Lululemon website… they have the cutest pictures from the race in Vancouver last weekend!
I promise, after a couple races, you’ll have favorites of everything! Of course my best feeling is “wow, I can’t believe I’m actually running for 2 hrs straight, NEVER thought that was possible!”
