I'm In!

Things have been crazy in my life lately which is why I've been pretty quiet on the online front, but things are starting to look up and brighter every day. Today was no exception, both on the insanity front AND on the bright and happy front!

At nuun/noon East Coast time today, my friends over at Nuun announced their Hood to Coast relay team. A fun little twist: they actually ended up creating TWO teams because the creative applications were just that awesome...


... and I was fortunate enough to get a spot!

At the end of August, I will be heading to Seattle to be a part of the 30th running of the Mother of All Relays with a bunch of fellow Nuun lovers! I am beyond excited. :)

While this means I have to drop out of a fall race I was looking forward to here in the City, I'm equally as stoked to meet and run with my fellow-female-running-blogger-buddies, enjoy a few days in Seattle and Portland and everywhere in between, and run a few legs of this 197-mile historic race!

(Of course I'm also looking forward to staying up for 48 hours straight, eating a ton of junk food, and sitting in a crowded van with a bunch of smelly runners, but we can go into all those savory details later.)

Thanks so much to Nuun for this awesome opportunity and to all of you guys for your support! Without you reading/promoting/supporting my blog and Twitter, I'm not sure this chance would have been possible. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I'm so excited for you, although I am sad you'll miss the Giant Race. This means we absolutely have to pick another game to go to!

    I go to Seaside, OR every summer (where the race ends) and it is such a fun place - you will love it!
