1) I gave in and registered for the Pasadena Rock and Roll Half Marathon. I missed this race earlier this year due to my injury so I kind of wanted to do it in 2013 just to make myself feel a little bit better about missing it in 2012.
2) I gave in a second time and registered for the Allstate Life Insurance 13.1 Los Angeles too! I took advantage of the National Running Day discounts so hopefully things will work out for me in 2013 and I can stay injury free.
3) The puppies are doing great and gaining lots of weight. We are a little concerned about Sugar since she is a small dog (7 pounds) attempting to nurse four puppies. She seems to be getting weak so we are going to start helping her out with the feedings a few times a day and her vet also put her on calcium pills. We bought this milk replacement for the puppies and hope they will take the bait!
Hi there! New follower of yours -- from across the country, but a Southern California native too. :)
ReplyDeleteSurf City 2013 is my first full marathon! Eep!
Looking forward to connecting with you! :)
Thank you for the follow and I look forward to following you as well. I have heard that the Surf City course is a pretty good one so it's a good choice for your first! I had to sit it out this year due to an injury so I am looking forward to being able to run it in 2013. You will do great!! Maybe I will see you there!
DeleteYayy for signing up for races! I'm always impressed with how you commit to stuff so early on, I need to start doing that...so much less expensive.
ReplyDeleteIt works out great if you can stay away from injuries :) I try to get in at the lowest price so that I don't deplete my running budget all at once! When is your next race?
DeleteI enjoyed Pasadena RnR this year but had terrible knee pain throughout. I thought the price, even with yesterday's discount was a little much. I went with Dallas in March instead.
ReplyDeleteI just squealed when I saw those babies, so tiny.
I was one of the first 500 to sign up for Pasadena for $55.00 and I had to sit it out!! I was so bummed!!! I would love to run a race out of state too! So many people are doing the 50 states thing and that would be an awesome experience! The puppies are so cute! I love them already!
DeleteTHose puppies are so cute! I should have taken advantage of the great discounts yesterday but procrastinated and missed out!
ReplyDeleteI am already attached to those babies! I am sure there will be another discount offered in the future so you can take advantage :)
DeleteI know you will love Pasadena! I will be at that one as well...
ReplyDeleteLA ...did they have a good discount?
missed that one...I am not signed up for that one...
I liked it but like I told you I did not love it. I did LOVE the medal though!!
I will be at the gym between 9 and 9:30 maybe I will see you there?
great job signing up for more races! So proud of you! I am running the Allstate 13.1 here in Chicago on Saturday!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Michelle!
DeleteThe pups are so cute! You really did take advantage of the running day deals. Nice!
ReplyDeleteYes, I decided to get brave and sign up for half marathons in 2013. I love kissing the little pups!
DeleteI'm so glad you finally took the plunge with these races! I do not think you will regret them. Soon your comeback will be complete.....
ReplyDeleteI did get brave didn't I? The next step is signing up for a marathon but I haven't gotten there yet!
DeleteCongrats on the race signups! Nothing more motivating than to have a race or 2 to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteI wish you injury free training and phenomenally fun races!
