best damn weekend + a 2020 bdr discount code for you!

June 14, 2019      10 Comments

I am an Ambassador for the Best Damn Race series. In exchange for my promotion of the events and use of my BDR discount code, I will receive complimentary race entries as well as other amenIties. All opinions are my own.

This past weekend, the team at Best Damn Race hosted the season-end Ambassador Party at a Dave and Buster’s in Orlando. I don’t always get to attend these events, because it is two hours away and our schedules are crazy, but this year the stars aligned and I was clear to go.

Not only did I get to see the awesome faces of some of my fellow ambassadors, but I received the incredible news that I was invited back for another year of representing the race.

Yes. I am exactly that excited.

In case you haven’t heard, Best Damn Race is pretty much exactly that: the Best Damn Race. BDR was created by runners, for runners, and basically caters to everything a runner could possibly want:

  • beautiful, USTAF approved courses of varying distances in great cities
  • phenomenal bling
  • great swag (including things like awesome gender-specific t-shirts, Biscoff cookies, socks and other fabulous things)
  • FREE race photos
  • age group and overall awards
  • challenges
  • incredible post-race food and beer, mimosas and Bloody Mary’s

To see some of these great perks in action, check out my race recap from the 2019 Best Damn Race Orlando, where I took on the 10K + 5K Challenge, with BDR Buddy, Meghan!

This year, you can find BDR in four great cities: Safety Harbor, Savannah, Orlando and New Orleans. (There is also an additional race, the Leftover 5K, at the end of the season, not eligible for any discounts).

If you missed out on the earlier registration blitz for these races, not to worry! I’ve got a discount code good for 10% off any distance of any of the four cities! Use it, share it and spread the word! I am definitely planning to be in Orlando and Safety Harbor (for the first time this year!) and I hope to see you out there, too!

Will you be joining us for any of the Best Damn Race Series?

What are the special extras you like to see at the races you choose?

Head on over to Fridays with Fairytales and Fitness and link up with the fun!

      I am definitely registered for Safety Harbor. I am most likely going to do Orlando and I have my fingers crossed for Nola. Safety Harbor will be new for me so I’m pretty excited about that (and NOLA would cross off another state, so I have to see if I can make it work).

      Definitely keep them in mind. All the locations are wonderful destinations to visit so it would be incredibly fun for a trip!

    I’ve seen a lot of people running these races and they sure look fun! Hopefully, I’ll be in Florida sometime when one is taking place!

    I will have to check out where Safety Harbor is. We visit my sister in Florida around that time each year. Otherwise, the races are too far away for me! šŸ™ They sound like a lot of fun.

      It’s on the west coast of the state, closer to where Tampa is. It’s about a 3 hour drive for me, so not incredibly convenient, but everyone swears by this race, so I’m going for it.

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!

We are supposed to see temps in the 90s this weekend and I am 100% not about it!

I won’t be racing this weekend: instead I’ve got some work, some volunteering, and another event on Sunday. Looking forward to all of it!

Are you running long or racing this weekend? Tell me about it!

This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville ev This Sunday, I hit up the #womenrunjacksonville event at the @theglassfactory, presented by @yelpjacksonville and @market.and.mimosas!

Is it possible to be overwhelmed by so much amazing talent, creativity and awesome woman power? 

From the iconic ā€œmy phone eats firstā€ tote to the gorgeous party wall lined with craft mimosas, to the silent disco headphones and all the vendors and food/drink samples! Swoon.

I shopped, ate, drank and chatted my way around the venue, and enjoyed every second of it. What a way to celebrate Women’s History Month, and all of the incredible female entrepreneurs, business owners and bosses in Jax and NE Florida!

Five stars. Would do again in a heartbeat!

35 minutes on the elliptical šŸ‘æ with a cool down 35 minutes on the elliptical šŸ‘æ with a cool down walk in the beautiful sunshine.

I am not a huge fan of gym equipment like the treadmill or the elliptical: I find it boring and often times awkward. That being said, I’m working through a training plan from @runsmartofficial and trusting the process.

Did you get your fitness inside or out today? How do you feel about the elliptical?

Knock knock! Rolling through another Wednesday of Knock knock!

Rolling through another Wednesday of miles! It was not a great run (i got something in my contact and had to go home to flush it out!) but the company stellar as usual (@montarriba) and future me will say thank you for sticking it out.

I’ve got a busy day with some writing, a few emails and a trip to @danielle904beauty so stay tuned for that glow up!

How is your Wednesday? How are you rolling?

Let’s talk about balance. Balance is an area wh Let’s talk about balance.

Balance is an area where I sometimes struggle, physically and emotionally. It can be a challenge to fit in all the things I want and all the things I need. I don’t always love doing the mundane or tedious tasks that ultimately lead to the foundations of the things I am more passionate about.

I am taking a little more time to build on the basics, and find my balance. It’s going to lead to a healthier and happier me.

How do you find your balance? Do you struggle with the basics?

Sometimes, the weather is too beautiful not to run Sometimes, the weather is too beautiful not to run.

I worked through some cardio under the blue skies and in the fresh air and then came home to @runsmartofficial’s base building boot camp. 

There was A LOT of focus on balance and feet and ankles, as well as ground work in the form of different planks and push-ups. 

The movements were small but effective and my legs are certainly burning! It’s going to get harder as we go, but I’m excited to spend more time on my stability and form, to see if it makes me stronger and more efficient over time.

What was on your workout calendar today?
