I was happy to be captain to these fine ladies/runners/cheetahs! Thanks to Emmie for putting it together, it’s awesome. It’s now hanging in my office to remind me of the amazing time we had at The Relay! Go Eat Blog Run!

Is it time to start thinking about our next race?

The location in Sunnyvale, CA couldn’t have been a better spot to stay, as it was really close to our relay route.

When we first arrived, we were greeted with this fruit and electrolyte drink basket in our rooms, perfect for us running athletes! There was a kind note from the manager thanking us for staying with them and giving us encouragement for our long running weekend ahead. They even filled our refrigerator with chilled water, Gatorade and Olade! It was very nice and unexpected.

We also hit up the buffet for breakfast each morning and wore our fantastic sparkley skirts. I bet they’ve never had so much bling going through the breakfast line! Waffles anyone?

One of my favorite things about the hotel was their toilet flush in their bathrooms. This might seem a little silly to blog about, but I found it refreshing that they are trying their best to be aware of the environment. The half filled dot is for a light flush and the full filled dot is for a more powerful flush. I need one of these installed in my house, as my little ones like to flush the toilet all the time just to see it swirl down. At least with this toilet, they could do so without wasting so much water!

Thank you to Country Inn and Suites for making our stay during our race a little sweeter!

I should actually run with a pad and paper!! Some of my blogging thoughts are useful for Make and Takes and some are the complete opposite, totally random. Maybe I’ll start a new blog called, Blogging While I’m Running!

Here’s a few blog post titles I came up with as I ran the other day, letting you get to know me a little better!!!

  • It’s Time to Buy Biker Shorts, I’m Gettin’ Chafe
  • Might Be a Little More Than Passing Gas
  • My Baby’s Daddy Has Some Nice Running Legs  (this one could be a country song)
  • One Step at a Time, Truly Mind Over Matter

Do you blog as you run?

I had January 1st circled on my calendar as THE DAY to dust my sneakers off and GET MOVING!  And then today – it was here. 2010.

So… this morning I set off.

I can honestly say that I have not run since September.  I was excited to get “back out there,” but also terrified.  This is a challenge I am totally putting myself up to in 2010…

I ran 2 miles this morning.

I can say – it KICKED MY BUTT.  But I did it.  I did it with my Livestrong gear on… enjoying the beautiful snowy morning and embracing the New Year.

Nobody was out this morning.  It was just me.  My iPod wasn’t charged up, so I set out with nothing – just me and my inner thoughts.  You know what?  It felt good.  It felt REAL good.  It wasn’t like I ran 10 miles or anything earth-shattering… but I did what I could do on Day 1.

And so… my running journey has begun…

Eat.  Check.

Blog.  Check.

RUN.  Check.  Check.
