Race Bling

I am impressed.  My Turkey Trot medal came in the mail a couple of days ago and its quality far exceeded what I expected!  It's heavy, solid and quite snazzy lookin'.  At least, I think so.  Here, my medal and I bond while we take a selfie (duo-ie?  Together-ie?) together (please ignore the trash can and dog house in the background):


The front of the medal:


The back: 


I claimed a corner of our mudroom as my Race Wall.  I've got two of my Mt. Marathon bibs hanging up (I've lost the other two, unfortunately), and the bib from a 5K I ran in August.  Plus, the medal from the same 5K and my Turkey Trot medal.  Eventually, I want that wall plastered in bibs and medals!


In one month, I'll have another medal and bib for my wall.  I'll be in Riverside, California, running this (half-marathon) race: Citrus Heritage Run.  I'm really, really looking forward to it!  Besides it being my first half-marathon race, my best friend from Alaska will be running it with me.  I haven't seen her in SIX LONG months and I've missed her desperately!  It will be an epic Girls' Weekend.  :)

My run yesterday was a slow 4 miles.  It felt wonderful.  I felt light and energetic and it was so warm outside!  About 50 degrees!  At 6 a.m.!  I am NOT missing Alaskan temperatures.  Or the snow.

Today I rode my stationary bike while I watched "House Hunters" episodes on Netflix.  A good way to start the day, I'd say.

I hope you're all having a fantastic day!  Get out and run!  Or at least work up a good sweat, somehow.  :)
