Santos Running Updates

Taking a little running hiatus due to our baby bliss Running to continue as soon as we can get this little guy in a running stroller.

Our 3rd Rock & Roll

We are a bit older, and a bit more tired this year. We did a walk/run combo, but we DID finish TOGETHER, hand-in-hand. June 26th, 2011.

(We did use up all the calories we burned afterward on a Redmill Burger & we did take a nap)

Spring Training is almost Here

It’s just about time for the sun to stick around a while and the days are longer. Since I’m primarily an evening runner, this makes it easier to get training runs in. One problem. With our new budget, it makes it hard to calculate in the cost of race registration and doing many is very costly believe it or not, so…this year, I think I’ll have to pick one. The good news is that I don’t need to run several races to get my share of good exercise and training in. That’s free!

Jingle Bell Run Pics & Looking for the Next Adventure.

Just wanted to share a few fun pics from the Jingle Bell Run in December and as for the next running adventure, I’m trying to figure that one out. We both agreed we’d like a goal so I’m looking. I know there are some half marathons in nearby cities and since early spring will bring races for sure it’s time for some early training. Enjoy the pictures! We had a great time.

Mill Creek Running Club & The Jingle Bell Dash!

I just joined a running club in Mill Creek. It’s called the Mill Creek Running and Multi Sports club. They are on Facebook as well. Check them out!. Also, if you are feeling inspired to get out on Saturday mornings at least I’ll be at the Mill Creek Town Center Spotted Cow and will be running 6 miles on average. It’s been great motivation to get my workout in early on the weekend. Join Me!

Also, Jono and I will be running our annual Jingle Bell Dash on December 12th! It’s one of our favorite 5k’s and always get’s us in the Christmas Spirit! Check it out Here.

Seattle Rock N Roll Half Marathon

Another Santos running success! I’m so, so proud of my husband who finished the entire 13.1 miles this year with only 3 weeks prior training. Here, we have posted our finishers certificates, a few fun photos from the day and a Link to view our race results, photos and the finish line video! Technology just keeps getting better & better. I do, however like that they don’t give us or finisher medal online.

Half Marathons

Tomorrow, we embarke on the Santos 2nd Half Marathon for the summer and our 2nd Annual Rock N Roll Marathon together. 13.1 miles of marital cooperation and fun! We love the Half Marathon’s and the excitement that comes with them. The also keep us accountable to being in shape. 26.2 once was enough for me. 13.1 is cool because we are lazy like that. (wink, wink )

Finish Line

We Spent the our Engagement Weekend in Skagit Valley. We celebrated by spending a day in the Tulp fields(where we went the weekend we got engaged) and participated in the Tulip run. Not the most professionally organized, but we had a good time anyway. Do it again? Probably not, but we’re glad we did.

We had a great time at the St.Patty’s day Dash!

Time to dust off those Running shoes again…

The day are getting longer which means there is more light and the 2010 Running Season is quickly approaching!

Plans for this spring/summer

Let the training begin!

Jingle Bell 2009 Was a Sucess!

We love the Jingle Bell Run! It’s fun running with hundreds of other people who are all also freezing with bells on their feet. It just says Christmas time. In addition, the money we spend on the race is for a cause…and who can say no to a fun long sleeved race t. We finished just over 30 minutes and it’s fun to stay in shape. Hopefully, we will get our act together and do at least another half marathon come summer. We’d love for any of our friends to join us! Also, the St. Patty’s Dash is coming for those who want to start at a Fun 5K! We tripple dog dare you!

Fun pics…

We really enjoy doing this together

and with friends. Good excuse to connect

and who doesn’t love the free SWAG! I’m holding my Yelpstick!

We look forward to running with our friends come St. Patty’s Day!

We ARE doing the Jingle Bell Run this year with some people on Jonathan’s Verizon team. We’d love to have you join us! It’s fun to do it with friends. It is pet friendly, inspirational and you can walk it if you prefer not to run. Our training together has been a bit out of sorts, so we are getting right back on track beginning with a 5k!

If you’d like to register, you can do so online now. It’s only $25 and you get a t-shirt!

We hope to see you there!
