Just Happened & What's Next

Just Happened

So, as some of you know I just ran the Market to Market Relay Nebraska on Saturday October 3rd.  I'm still gathering photos and writing up the race recap for that.  In a short, it was AWESOME! So awesome that we have taken the opportunity to secure our spot for next year.  Below is the recap video you can watch while waiting for the recap.

What's Next

I just got an email from Katy, the editor at Omaha World-Herald's Live Well Nebraska, saying that I won entry into this coming Sunday's inaugural of The Nebraska (Half) Marathon!  I got a choice between a 5k and the Half Marathon.  Naturally I want to run the Half Marathon, but my pace is kind of slow right now so I'm waiting to hear back on cutoff time to make sure I have enough time.  Otherwise I will likely do the 5k.  How awesome this is to be able to run the first running of it!  So, I will have that race recap coming in the near future as well.  Here is the promo video.

Until next time, keep those beats coming!

Mid Month Update and Giveaway Mention

I realize it's been a while since I've posted...again.  I have been working on my #5am5k run schedule and commitment and not doing too bad.  I have been running 4 or more days a week.  I ran yesterday morning and I even beat my current PR for the route that I have been taking.  I even changed up the route a little this morning and I added quarter mile to it...and I still finished 8 minutes faster than I had been finishing lately I have been fishing about 39-52 minutes and this morning I finished in just under 42 minutes.  So, I don't know if this morning I just had to drive to push that hard or if I just getting better but I will continue to try to work harder to improve upon this morning's time even.  I will continue my commitment but now instead of getting up at 5 A.M. thanks to the kids going back to school I have to get up even earlier.  So, now I am going to try to finish by 5 A.M.  However, I will still be calling it the #5am5k because it still fits.  So, don't forget to check me out on Twitter almost every weekday to see how I'm doing.  I am even tagging pictures that I take once in a while on Instagram with both #5am5k and #sight.  So, be on the lookout for those as well.  Today's #5am5k didn't happen thanks to heavy rain, so I get an extra hour of sleep.  But now I'm short a run so I will be visiting the fitness center at work and hitting up my friend the dreadmill and putting in some miles for a #runch today!

Biena All Natural Chickpea Snacks

Now let's talk snacks.  I have been trying these Biena All Natural Chickpea snacks (http://bienafoods.com/) and they have allowed me to hold a giveaway for all of my readers, and hopefully some new ones.  So, keep track of the next posting that I will be posting in the next day or 2 to read my review and get your chance at your very own Biena chickpea snacks.

Until next time, keep those beats coming!
