Well, here we are – marathon weekend! Stay tuned on my Instagram, Facebook, & Twitter accounts for a weekend filled with fun and excitement in good ol ‘Nawlins!
The only thing I’m worried about for the weekend is the weather forecast. It’s changed many times over the past few days, and I’ve yet to see a chance of rain less than 50%. There’s nothing I can do to change it so I’m going to go out and make the best of what’s handed to me. As long as I finish upright and with a smile on my face, that’s all that matters.
By the way, did you hear that Deena Kastor is running the Rock n Roll NOLA Half Marathon? I had the honor of watching her compete in the Marathon Olympic Trials of 2012 in Houston, Tx and I can’t wait to share (part of) the New Orleans race course with her!
Speaking of the race, here’s my outfit…
I’m wearing a Sparkle Skirt and it’s a beautiful purple – perfect for rocking the streets of New Orleans!
The crazy “sneaux storm” also allowed me to spend plenty of quality time with my friend the Rumble Roller. I say “friend” lightly – we are still learning to like each other.
Did someone say friends? Cause this King Cake and I made fast friends on Wednesday. It was still warm and fresh from the bakery. Mmhmmm mmhmm good! :0)
Madalynn and I were becoming quite stir crazy, so we headed outdoors for a 2 mile run on Wednesday. The amount of treadmill running I had to do over the past week was making me craaazy and I couldn’t wait to run outside again! We both enjoyed my last run before the marathon!
Finally, I leave you with my latest favorite…
…Disney Luxe Collection sleepwear from Dillards. I am obsessed with pajamas and when I saw (and felt) these, I immediately fell in love! I purchased a pair after Christmas and couldn’t help myself when I came across these yesterday! Can’t wait to wear them! :0)
What are your weekend plans? What’s your latest favorite thing?
Adorable new pajamas....I love fluffy pajamas and you see how soft they are from the photo! Have a fantastic race and so excited that you are wearing a Sparkle Skirt....they are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam! I love fluffy pj's too...so nice and warm!
DeleteGood luck with your race this weekend! I hope the weather holds out! I'm loving my fuzzy fleece pj's this time of year! I'm still in search of his and hers Mickey Christmas Pj's. ( I have been since before Christmas) and can't find any! Madalynn is so cute. Did she enjoy the snow?
ReplyDeleteAww that's too cute...hope you find some! Yes, she loved the cold!! Pixie on the other hand hated it, but she's a diva so I didn't expect any different from her! Hah
DeleteNo weekend plans. Wish I was going to nola. ;( have a blast!
ReplyDeleteI wish y'all were, too!! :0(
DeleteMy weekend plans...I'll be in NOLA running too! ;-) I LOVE those PJ's! Target had some Mickey and Minnie ones a while back. I got some Minnie ones and they are now my favorite pj's!!! Good luck this weekend! Your outfit is super cute!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kimberly! Have a great weekend!!
DeleteYES! It's finally here. Best of luck with your marathon this weekend -- you're going to rock it, crappy weather or not! Love the PJS, BTW -- I have about a zillion pairs of Disney pajamas, it's gotten a little out of hand...haha. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, jennifer! You have a great weekend as well! Glad I'm not the only disney pj obsessed one out there!! :D
DeleteGood luck this weekend! Hope I get to "run" into you!
ReplyDeleteYeah me too!!! Best of luck I you as well!
DeleteGood luck for the race, I have a few friends who are going to be running. No running for me this weekend, I have four huge blisters on my heels from walking my virtual half over the last two days :( I look forward to seeing all your photos
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah! Ouch...hope those blisters feel better soon! :0(
DeleteHope you have fun running the RnR NOLA marathon on Sunday! I'll be running at the Surf City USA Half Marathon Sunday morning right along Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach (AKA Surf City USA). It should be fun. I have no idea how well I'll do. A half marathon three weeks after a full marathon sounded good when I signed up. Can't wait to get my surf board finishers medal!
ReplyDeleteHave a great race!
Hope your half went well! Sounds like a really cool medal!!
DeleteHave a great race, Karen! Look forward to hearing (and seeing) about your run!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Desiree!!
DeleteOMG I have those same PJ's and they are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! Great minds! :D
