Today was a great day...it was my official "I AM A RUNNER" day! I bought my first pair of overly priced running shoes, my first runners compression stockings, signed up for my first 5K and my first Half Marathon! IT IS ON!
I went and visited Freedom Sports today on Panama City Beach. WWW.MYFREEDOMSPORTS.COM. They were awesome! They fitted me personally for my first pair of offical running shoes (I cancelled my other ones I ordered online) I did not realize that your running shoes should be a little bit bigger on your feet..gives your feet room to well swell up when you run. You should have at least a tip of a thumb between your big toe and the tip of shoe. I learned SOMETHING NEW today! Also I boughtsome really cool below the knee compression stockings for when I run. Keep those Varicose Veins away...ladies I recommend them..running is strenuous on those legs:) www.zensah.com is a great website for clothes...and oh btw running is a stinking expensive hobby!SOO I know your so excited to know about the races!!!!
The first race I will be doing is a 5K on December 4th at Pier Park at 08:30. It is the second annual RUN FOR THE REDFISH at Pier Park http://www.runfortheredfish.com/. Proceeds go to bring about awareness about our coastal redfish..umm okay I just really wanna run:) I mean fish are not something near and dear to my heart...I like to eat fish...that I don't catch or clean so I guess I am good! I will also get my first "swag bag" I think I am most excited about it.
The Half Marathon is Sunday March 06, 2010 on a Sunday in Seaside http://www.seasidehalfmarathon.com/ It is the Seaside School Half Marathon. Ladies..if you run and finish you get a VERA BRADLEY bag...'nough said...people in seaside don't mess around. All the money raised will help the Neighborhood school in Seaside...again not a charity near and dear to me...umm don't really seem to be hurting to bad you are giving away VERA BRADLEYS but I just wanna run:)
We are still doing the Disney Princess we just have not registered for it yet. Hopefully by the end of December we will be registered because that is the one I am most excited about. BUT I am officially signed up and paid for to do the other two...Never thought I would be paying someone to run:) But I am glad I am!
So you know what I think is so crazy about this marathons..every single one we have read about..offers FREE BEER at the end of the run. SO I wanna run 26 miles and than the first thing I am gonna want is a beer? and Pizza? reallly? I need some serious insight on this because I just don't see it happening...What I see myself needing is Oxygen...and lots of it..maybe a venti mask even! Lord knows not a beer. Oh and a personal massager waiting for me at the finish line...that might be on my mind...but not beer and pizza!
Well Sunday we are running North Lagoon in anyone wants to join! Just let me know and I will tell you what time we are meeting. Anyone can start at anytime! I will also be running the bridge everyday! So feel free to join!
Anyway I am really excited about this..have I said that yet! My running partner and I are kicking butt and taking names:)
Till next time PEACE OUT LITTLE DEBBIES!!
