Where I’ve been: Arizona. I love Arizona. A lot. We had an amazing vacation with our friends where we relaxed, golfed, ran, biked and laughed while having these terrible views:
We also indulged in cocktails…specifically many margaritas. I hear limes and agave are good for you, especially mixed with tequila. It was super hot (100 degrees +++ every day) so you know, you have to keep hydrated.
And ate at some amazing places like Citizen Public:
We also shopped where I picked up an awesome (and very busy) dress.
What’s down: me. I am getting my overall mojo-ness back but May was a rough month. DNF not withstanding, May also marked the official end of my run club which disbanded. I know not everything can last forever but it hit me harder than I thought. It feels like I was part of a divorce that I really didn’t handle well so I am trying to getting into more of a Zen mode and move forward. ALL of my friends are important to me so I am going to do my best to keep in touch, support them and remember the best in everyone. Luckily I still have a group of friends that are all going to try to stick together to train and I still have my awesome trainer that is already killing me 2 sessions in.
I really didn’t feel like blogging for awhile as I just sounded whiny which is stupid. This big change isn’t the end of the world and moping about it is suck-tastic.
What’s up: me. I have made the decision to plan out my training and really push myself this time around. I have signed up for a bunch of races that I am excited about including the first one which is going to be naked. No need to cover your eyes…it will be Garmin-less which I am sure you don’t believe I will do but I promise to take a pic of my naked wrists as proof.
So, there you do. I’ve been around, down and up.
“Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.”
Are you down?
Are you up?

Nice to see you back! Naked races are the best. Good luck with the training and races.
Oh - I really like that dress! And limes are definitely best for you when mixed with tequila.
Glad to see you back. I'm glad you're excited about your running! I was thinking of doing my new race "naked" as well. Though it probably doesn't quite count since it is a 9km trail race. But maybe I'll do a naked 5K over the summer as well.
Super cute dress! Sounds like a nice vacation.
I'm starting to get excited about my running. Oddly, I haven't registered for any more races. Maybe running for the sake of running is what I need? Kind of like running "naked" might be what you need.
Nothing better than a good vacation. Signing up for races keeps me motivated. Happy training!
Glad you are getting your mojo back! Margaritas are definitely health food. They have the additional bonus of killing germs on the way down.
I lived in Arizona for 17 years, all those 100+++ days made me move away from it
I saw some AZ pics on FB and it looks like it was an amazing time! mmm margs! Totally healthy and hydrating!
Sorry to hear about your run club. :( Hope you can stay in touch with most of your usual run buddies. I would be devastated!
Looking forward to hearing about your naked race. :)
I've been both up and down myself the last few weeks, so I totally understand. Right now I'm up. Yesterday I was down. I'm trying to view it all as....normal.
Glad you had such a great time in AZ!
I Like Fashion........
why has it never occurred to me that sometimes run clubs disband?? SOrry for the down but without down there is no up right? You look and sound very great.
I've been down running mojo-wise for a long time, however I think I'm on to something with the Vitamin D thing!
Welcome back! I've been wondering about you! Happy you had a great vacation! Excited to cheer you on for your next training adventures!
