The Cupcake Classic!

We ran for cupcakes during today's Moms Run This Town Meetup!! 
We got lucky with sunshine after a few rainy days. 
And, it was Crystal's, mama runner friend, first time running a virtual race.
She's a cupcake lover & baker, so it was PERFECT for her!!
She did awesome and she's hooked for a few upcoming virtual races!!
We ran, we took walking intervals, we had a fabulous time!

There's still time to register for The Cupcake Classic, run between October 14th - 21st.
There's some fabulous prizes to enter for!! Go check out Run with Jess. Hurry!

The Cupcake Classic is a fun run for women of all fitness levels. There are no awards, as fitness offers its own rewards! You can run, jog or walk. As sisters, moms, daughters, friends, we make choices every day to lead our families and communities towards a healthier life. The Cupcake Classic celebrates those daily efforts.  Gather up your friends, go for a run and then treat yourselves with a cupcake... because the FIT LIFE IS SO SO SWEET!

Yep, I earned that Yummy Cupcake!!

Thankful Thursday!

I'm thankful for coffee, it was a rough 9 day streak!

 Last month, I went on a 15 day streak of NO SUGAR, my coffee was black, I actually enjoyed it! 

I need my daily dose of caffeine first thing in the morning, don't judge!!  

I'm thankful for happy girls, who LOVE [to explore] the great outdoors!

I'm thankful for the fabulous fall weather that [finally] rolled into town!! 

We took a pre-dinner walk to the base Redbox to return a movie.

And, we came back with one each. Hah!

I'm totally loving this cooler weather!!

 The colors are just AMAZING in the PNW!! 

 I'm thankful for their craziness; I love it! 

They logged in 1.44 miles for the Kids Run This Town Virtual Challenge!!

 I'm thankful for week of fabulous BLING mail, that I've been receiving!!

Wednesday RunDay!

Mama was on the Run this morning!! I laced up my running shoes, loaded up baby girls in the double jogger and turned up the tunes for a fabulous morning [base] run!!

It was a FOGGY morning and we even caught a little drizzle halfway through. I made a quick stop at the Base Redbox to get my girl a rental. She was happy, and they enjoyed the views ahead! It was actually the first time I took them along on the particular route. It's usually a route for SOLO Runs, since it's along the base roadways but we kept as far from the road, as the pavement allowed. I felt AMAZING, not much pain on my knee, however, my foot was a little annoyed so, I kept easing off of it with a couple of "slow" paced intervals and was easy on the hills. Oh, those hills, can't avoid them in Washington. We logged in 3.27 Boo! Miles in 44:18.

[Happy Mail; Received the BLING for the Boo! Half-Marathon]
