I was racing to get out the door this morning to get to BOKS on time so there was little time for coffee…and I went from there to a chiro appointment. So it’s late in the morning and I’ve still not had coffee yet…(never a good thing)…so a bit of randomness coming at you:
- Wrapped up week 3 of the Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge with a woeful 30.75 points. Having kids home and a little knee pain at the beginning of the week really threw me off my game. Definitely looking to up the numbers this week!
- And because I love a good challenge, I just signed on to the Chilly Challenge for the month of January. This fun challenge is sponsored by Amy from Running Escapades and Janine from The Purple Giraffe It’s a friendly team competition to see who can log the most miles in January – just pick a team and start logging those miles. (And of course, there are some fun prizes involved.) Great idea to get the new year off to a good start!
- I’m starting to do a little race shopping for 2013. I already have the Old-Fashioned 10 miler for February but want to find a spring half marathon. While I was super excited when the Nike Women’s Half Marathon announced they were coming to DC this spring, the $160 price tag quickly killed that enthusiasm. Seriously?!
- 14 more shopping days till Christmas and I am desperately holding on to my zen! This will be a week of power shopping and online ordering!
OK, now for the safety of those around me, I’m off to find some coffee!
So tell me – what’s the most you’re will to pay for a race?
Are you done with your shopping yet?
SO with you on that price tag. I am amazed at how many people are chomping at the bit to do it, though. Truly, $160 is pushing it for a full marathon, in my book!
Good luck catching up with points this week!
I’m willing to pay a little more for big races in big cities – knowing (or convincing myself) it’s partly the experience.
For anyone thinking of joining the #ChillyChallenge…pick #TeamEscapades!
Oh I forgot to include – Go #TeamEscapades! 🙂
Ah! Holiday Shopping, GAH! I have to get on this IMMEDIATELY! Maybe I will do it tomorrow (it just entails me shopping on Amazon, nothing too too crazy, lol)… I keep thinking XMAS is like 3 months away, but it really is only TWO WEEKS away!! YIKES!
$160 is steep for a race! But on the brightside, a Tiffany’s necklace is fun!
Check out the Shamrock Half Marathon in VA Beach. Flat, fast course and I heard only good things about it. Plus, I registered for it, so we could meet up!
I think anytime over $50 for a half or $100 for a full is pushing it if you’re doing several races in a year. If this is a bucket list race though then I might pay the $160 for it. I would really like to run a Nike Women’s Half some day.
