It's Bling..I Mean Race Season!!!

Woohoo!!! This is one of my favorite times of the year...race season!!! I love training for races because it gives me a goal to work towards. My husband and boys know that there will be several weekends around this time of year when I won't be home...I will be off racing. Although they miss me they seem to understand!

But let me just say...It's All About My Race Bling!!! I LOVE bling!!! :-)

I get super excited about my races and wanted to share the ones I'm doing with you!

September 30th- It's About the Shirt Half Marathon

This is the half that I've been training the Sole2Soul Sisters for! So it will be very dear to my heart since this is the first group of women that I've trained for a half! I cannot wait to run this race with them and watch them cross that finish line!!! 

October 14th- Gulf Coast Half Marathon on the Louisiana Northshore

This will be the second year I have run this race! It's a flat and beautiful course! I LOVE this race series...this race will finish out my races with them for the year...they host 3 races each year. This one and then one in Gulf Shores, AL and one in Pensacola Beach, FL. I've done all three this year and have heard that there will be a special prize for doing all three races that we will receive in Louisiana!!! I LOVE prizes!!! Plus the bling for this race is super cool...it's a bottle opener!

November 11th- Pensacola Half Marathon

This race is pretty special to me because it was my first half marathon in 2010! I haven't raced it since then but got a chance to run it for free this year so I jumped on it! Plus I am from the Pensacola area so it's really cool to race there and see all the landmarks from my childhood!

November 17th- The Color Run New Orleans

I am soooo excited about this! This one is definitely all for fun! Especially since I will be in the thick of marathon training and will have an 18 miler at some time during this weekend. So this will be an easy and colorful recovery run!!! ;-)

So those are the races I have planned...who knows I may add more! :-)

If you want to read any of my past race recaps...head on over here!

I promise each of the above races will be recapped too! ;-)

QOTD: What races are you running this fall?
