It is absolutely gorgeous outside this morning as I sip on my coffee and catch up during the Ultimate Coffee Date. The wind is calm, the sky is blue, and the temperature is perfect.
If we were having coffee today... I would tell you about my winning week! I was the Week 3 winner for the #RockYourCore challenge in April, and got a huge box of goodies from Quest Nutrition - protein powder packets, protein bars, and even some protein chips. I also won entry to the Zion Half Marathon next March. Super excited for that!!
If we were having coffee today... I would tell you about all the races I have coming up - starting with a 16-miler tomorrow. A 16-miler that I decided to do last weekend (and registered for on Monday). Needless to say, I haven't really trained or prepared for it, but I'm excited about it nonetheless.
May 3 - Ride the Wind 16-miler
May 9 - FroYo 5k
May 30 - WildLand Fire Awareness Trail Half Marathon
July 31 - Once in a Blue Moon - Shoot the Moon - Three 5ks, One Night
Dec 5 - Run Laughlin Half Marathon
This will probably be it for my 2015 race schedule (unless I get a sponsor or a race sugar daddy) due to financial reasons, but I'll still try to get in as much running as possible. It's what I do. :-)
If we were having coffee today... I'd also mention that I was an ambassador for the Run Laughlin Half Marathon. You should totally join me for a fun #racecation. Use promo code EnjoyTheCourse to save $15 off the Half Marathon or $5 off the 5K. Or enter below to win a free entry!

If we were having coffee today... I'd tell you about our trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning of April. It was magnificent - especially the sunset. We definitely want to go back again! I need to write a full post about that trip soon!
I'd probably also mention how we spent some time at Zion National Park, coming back from Ragnar Trail Zion last week. Again, another post I need to write.
Another reason to love living in Vegas. So many national and state parks within a few hours drive. Awe inspiring!!
If you really want to feel like we're having coffee together, check out my vlog from this morning. I talk about the above and more. :-)
Now that we're all caught up, hop on over to the Ultimate Coffee Date hosts (Deb, Coco, or Lynda) to have coffee with a bunch of other fun bloggers!

Oh, please write about the Grand Canyon and Ragnar soon! We're going to the GC in August, and I just love hearing about Ragnar. Thanks for joining us for coffee!
ReplyDeleteHi Coco! My goal now is to finish writing all those recaps by the end of May. :)
DeleteCongrats on your winning week! Looks like you have a great race season ahead of you! We wanted to visit Vegas this weekend but the fight kept us away.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Winning is fun. :)
DeleteI'm super excited for all the races I was able to register for. :)
Congrats on your win! I love getting stuff in the mail! You do have lots of places to visit close to home, beautiful pics! Good luck with that 16 miler! Amazing!
ReplyDeletePackages are always super fun!
DeletePeople think of Vegas of the Strip, getting drunk, gambling, etc, but there really is so much other awesomeness close by. It's ridiculous.
Woohoo big wins. Free stuff is the best.
ReplyDeleteIt's the best of the best. :-D
DeleteI'm so jealous! Zion is on my bucket list of places to go. We missed it on a trip my family took west when I was a kid. The Grand Canyon, too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win. :)
They are both amazing, but I LOVE Zion. I hope you definitely make to them someday.
DeleteI am really looking forward to running WDW Wine & Dine Half Marathon in Nov. because we're getting a family vacation too!
ReplyDeleteWell, you just can't beat that!
DeleteBusy race year for you! The Grand Canyon looks amazing...I hope to get out there one year!
ReplyDeleteThis year is a lighter one for me race-wise since I've got NYC Marathon on 11/1. It's my biggie and my dream race.
I'm jealous you're running NYC. That's a huge bucket list race for me.
DeleteThanks, Karen!
