What's on a Tough Chik's Bucket List?

Did you know I'm on Team Tough Chik?

This team is full of a group of AMAZING women who are inspiring, encouraging, and totally kick ass!

I'm going to try hard to get in answers to our weekly Tough Chik Question!

This week's question:

What is one race that is on your race "bucket list" and why?

There are many races I have my eye on. In reality the Disney Marathon (see my recap HERE), was my ultimate running bucket list. The reason I started running, my ultimate goal. Now that the the race has passed, I need to think of a new "bucket list." There are a few that stick out in my mind....

Running the Boston Marathon with the Team Hoyt Foundation.

We all know I'm not fast enough to qualify, but they inspire me so much, I would love to fundraise for them and be a part of their team while running such a HUGE race like Boston. Major plus for me is that Boston is a short drive from my house, making it easy for everyone to support me.

A marathon running professor of mine got me thinking about this one. The Marathon Du Medoc is in France, and is run in costume from winery to winery where you enjoy fine wine and snacks along the way. Could be one hell of a vacation day! (read more about it HERE in English).

In particular the Masachusetts Wachusett to Westport  Reach the Beach in May. I think gathering together vans of my running friends, and spending a weekend running with the promise of a beach and beer would be amazing.

Thats all I have for now!

What race is on your "bucket list"?

Is it weird I don't have a triathlon "bucket list"?

Three Things & a giveaway winner!

1. Yesterday I gobbled up the leapyear savings. I registered for not one, but 2 half marathons! 

Aug 19, 2012

S & I had been debating this as a girls weekend away. Its 3 weeks before Pumpkinman 70.3, so it will be good to get a half marathon in. We saved $29, and spent only $61 on the race. Score!

October 13, 2012

Race price increased today, so I signed up yesterday for a sweet price of only $55 for the half marathon. If it weren't for Pumpkinman, I'd consider the full, but I know it will be too soon.

2. My green smoothie today was delicious, and I actually remembered to put greens inside! Grapefruit, oranges, kiwi, banana, spinach, a scoop of protein powder, and flax seeds. It made so much that I had enough for a morning snack and lunch. Its funny that I feel so satisfied and refreshed having this for lunch. I feel like maybe my old lunches were weighing me down. 

3. We got snow. Not a ton, but enough to make driving a pain. I hate waking up early, cleaning off a car, and shoveling, all before getting to the gym. So I decided to have Kevin do a hearing test with me last night to see if you could hear me on the bike trainer downstairs while in the upstairs bedrooms. Lucky for me, there was no noise, and I was able to pound out 70 minutes in the morning while reading a magazine.  I also counted points all day today. Yay!

The winner of the Immucell?

Lauren... at no blog I can find. I'm shooting you an email Lauren!

Did you sign up for any races this week?
