1. Thank you Thank you Thank you for all of your sweet comments about Hood To Coast and the After NUUN Delight Team! Seeing as I have never run a relay race and I am not quite sure what I have gotten myself into (other than a ton of sleepless, smelly, fun) my new teammate Vanessa at The Gourmet Runner put it all into perspective with this video. I was entertained by what my non-running friends might think of it because I am not sure they understand-or that’s what they said on Facebook. And well, let’s face it, all you relay runners, (Alma, Jill, Becca, Giraffy, Lisa) will appreciate this too.
2. I am leaving at the butt-crack of dawn tomorrow to go to California!!! Vacation and a marathon. I’m headed to run my 2nd Big Sur Marathon and then to Napa/Sonoma for vacation. P is running the 10 mile race and I can’t wait for him to see this course. My friends Lisa and Jeff are running the marathon too. We are supposed to be running together but I haven’t decided what I want to do yet. I would like to beat last years time on the course but I want to stop and take pictures too. So let’s hope I can do both. I’ll be happy with a 4:20 or better race and I may end up running on my own if they aren’t up for my goal. Which is okay too.
3. I have become the queen of buying running bargain online. Not kidding. In this past month I have purchased all of this.
Yes. 2 boxes of Purefit bars, 2 boxes of Earnest Eats bars, 4 KT tapes and Aspaeris pivot shorts. The bars and KT Tape were active schwaggle deals. I have also purchased Zensah socks and Fitness magazine deals from schwaggle too. I love that site. Let’s talk about the shorts. Ahem…
Does my hand put the size of them into perspective?? Abbi warned me that after I ordered them to not be shocked at their size. Well. I can’t wait to see what kind of sausage I will look like in these bad boys. 
They were 50% and I hope they will help this hip/piriformis issue that constantly bugs me. I’ll keep yall posted.

Have you done a relay race? What’s your best advice? Do you online shop for running bargain deals?

Yeah hoo! Go get 'em tiger! Good luck in Cali.
I LOVE MY MAGIC PANTS. They look a little ridiculous, but I promise they will feel amazing.
Have a great trip to my state!!
I have two pairs of the Aspaeris shorts and love them. It looks like they will squeeze you to death but they are fine when you get them on.
Have a great time in CA!!!
OH PS! Congrats on HTC!!!!
Have a great time at the marathon. I hope you like the shorts. Did you laugh when you pulled them out of the package? Just make sure no one is around to watch you try to squeeze them on but once they are on, you'll be good to go!
I'm crying right now – that video is hilarious. The last few seconds are priceless!
Have a great time in Big Sur. SOMEDAY that will be on my race list
Sausage – ha ha ha! I'll be they'll be fine once you put them on. Have SO much fun this weekend and good luck!
WooHoo! Run well and enjoy Big Sur! I promise the Aspaeris shorts will stretch and are the bomb. No relay for me yet, but all that will change on 6/8!
