Bib/Bling Holder

At the Diva Dash Half Marathon expo I purchased a custom bib/bling sign from York Sign Shop in Tennessee which arrived today! How awesome is it? Now the only problem I have is that I don't know where to hang it and the rest of the house is BROWN. Oops?! 

This is my next project…. 

August- Devoted Doggie Dash 5k

It was tough to find an August race in Northern Virginia so I decided to participate in my first ever virtual run by Fit, Fab and Lean! You sign up online, create your bib, pick your distance, race your race, share your time/pictures and receive your BLING! How cute is my bib? I know there is an apostrophe missing but it was not an option which was my only complaint. I decided to do a 10 k and was determined to PR the distance. Proceeds from the race are being donated to Freedom Service Dogs, a nonprofit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by rescuing dogs and custom training them for individual client needs! In addition I threw on Charity Miles and ran for ASPCA! Here are a few pics from race day! Had it not been so hot/far I would have taken Lilly with me, my favorite furry little running buddy! I felt a like a lost runner with my bib. I know no one was even paying attention but I kept giggling because if people were expecting more runners it wasn't happening which either made me look SUPER FAST, super slow, totally crazy, or LOST! But I ran MY RACE as Lilly and Gremmy's Mommy with HOPE (#FF) of someday adding another little one to our family! 

Isn't the BLING adorable?! Love the pink, the glitter and the sassy little puppy! It arrived a few days after I logged my time and shared my Flipagram!

I finished my 7th race of the year in OBX (my favorite place in the whole world). OBX means the world to me, if you don't know my whole story Roger and I visit OBX often and that is where he proposed and where we got married 2 years ago!

 I knew July would be a tough month to squeeze in a race because of our beach trips and our cruise, vacations have their way of cutting into things so I decided to look into OBX races! I was beyond thrilled to discover OBX Run Cations. They have 2 races a week during the summer and a Firecracker and Freedom 5k on July 4th! Hurricane Arthur tried to ruin our OBX trip and my July race but at the last minute decided to cause minimal damage and postpone the race 12 hours! I ran the race at my fastest 5k pace yet and finished 58/258 and 4/12 in my age division in 26:20! 

AND I got this jazzy blog badge too!
