Nuun HTC Application Video - Do You Like Rap?

Last year when I heard about the opportunity to be a part of nuun's Hood to Coast relay team, I had just started blogging. I was convinced that the only winners would be full-time bloggers who run at 15 miles per hour. As it turns out, the team was made up of some pretty amazing women from all walks of life. Nuun decided this year to have THREE teams for Hood to Coast, so I am thrilled to have another opportunity for entry.


I'm no stranger to using nuun - honestly! In fact, I wrote about how much I like it for hot runs on this post, which was my 6th ever post written well over one year ago. So I feel no guilt about plugging this brand wholeheartedly.

If you feel like laughing at me for about 2 minutes, feel free to watch this video. Big thanks to Tim who did...everything that involves skill. I merely provided the bad acting while he did everything to make it look professional.



If you like it, let nuun know! Leave a comment on their Facebook page and help me get a place on the Hood to Coast team. Thank you!

    The interpretive dance was the BEST :) I am seriously just going to set this video on auto-replay while I bike 10miles! lol

    I think it's safe to say you'll be picked. I've watched a few other vids and they were lame

    GUH so jealous you get to run Hood to Coast. I'm from Portland, and I've never run it :( When you get around to coming to Portland for the race hit me up and I'll let you know all the good restaurants (my fiance is obsessed with the foodz and is a food writer/restaurant reviewer).

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful...

Brace Yourselves: Cuteness is Coming

One of the hardest things about moving, for me, was wondering how the cats would adjust each time. Although our cats are super travelers at this stage, I feel really guilty every time we have to pack them up and force them onto a plane. I remember my grandma telling me years ago that when she moved with a cat, they put butter on their paws. That way, the cats spent the first day in a new house licking their paws to get them clean, and that was enough time to lose the "smell" of the old house. I love that story, and I wish the same principle applied to longer moves. Anyway, that's a super long intro to say that for the fellow cat ladies out there, our three fur babies are insanely happy in this jungle gym of a home here in Florida. It's warm, there are plenty of sunny spots to curl up a take a nap, and they have lots of room to spread out. Despite the space, of course, they still usually want to take a nap on my head at night. Obviously. They also love climbing on ou...

Chobani Review and Giveaway!

I'm pretty sure it's not a secret that me and Greek yogurt are in a serious relationship. I know, I know...hubby can read this. But he's well aware of the affair. At least once a day I need my fix. Sometimes it's a mid-morning snack with fruit, or a lunchtime topper for baked potatoes. Other times it's the sweet dessert topped with fruit and chocolate shavings that completes my night. Plain, vanilla, fruity...I could wax poetic about the stuff for ages. Don't worry, I won't. What I will say is that as much as I love Greek yogurt, I figured it was all the same. I saved a little money (18 cents on each container at my local store) in order to get the cheaper no-name brand. Then Chobani was on sale, so I picked up a few. Um, this stuff is THICK! So much creamier and thicker - and tastier - than any other brand I've tried. Sorry, extra 18 cents. You are now being diverted to my Chobani fund. I won a Chobani giveaway a couple of weeks ago hosted by ...
