5 races i plan to run this fall

July 30, 2021      8 Comments

Well, things are back to being uncertain for racing and public events, which fills me with all kinds of unpleasant anxiety. My current operating agenda is to make plans, but also to be flexible, so here is how I hope and plan to fill my race calendar.

2021 Tunnel To Towers 5K – September 11

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks, and Mr PugRunner asked if I would join him for this event. It’s a wonderful cause and I am grateful to help him support this.

Dreams Come True 5K – September 28

I’m not 100% sure I will be able to run this race, but I do plan to have some hand in it, whether I’m a participant or a volunteer. This 5K benefits granting wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses, and promises to be a beautiful and inspiring event.

Pink Up The Pace 5k – October 2

Pink Up The Pace is our local breast cancer fundraising run. Proceeds from this event go directly to early prevention and detection services. It’s a wonderful group, doing so much good in the St. Augustine area. I am very hopeful to be there.

GOTRNEFL Noodle Run – October 2

Yes, you read that correctly: two races on the same day. Pink Up the Pace is a morning 5K, and this inaugural Noodle Run is an evening 5k/10k, to benefit Girls on the Run of Northeast Florida. It is brought to run by Noodles & Company, and will feature a post-race noodle tasting, so…. Yes. I’m up for this new event.

BDR Safety Harbor Triple Challenge – October 16 + 17

I know. This is crazy. What kind of person would take on a 5K, 10K AND Half Marathon in two days? I’m sure it will be tons of fun, especially since this race is totally new to me, as well. Best Damn Race always put on one heck of a good time, so I’m ready to be a part of it! Want to join? Save 10% off any BDR distance in any BDR city with code RUNSWITHPUGS

    I had 2 races on the calendar for the fall; I’ve reached out to both RDs to request deferrals. I’ve gotten one for next year so far. But with COVID on the rise, will these things even take place? What a mess. I’m feeling more anxious too.

    Many good causes there! I’ve never done the weekend challenge sort of thing, so good luck with that!

    Running for noodles sounds delish.

    You’ve got a nice lineup! I think you are so right about making plans but staying flexible – the COVID numbers are alarming…again…sigh.

    That’s a great line-up. I hope they all happen.

    20 years since the 9/11 attacks and I still remember the day as if it was yesterday. 🙁

    Wow, you have some fun races lined up, and some amazing causes as well. I can’t wait to hear all about them, especially the BDR triple!!! Yes, it’s a little discouraging to feel like we’re going backwards with Covid- things seemed so hopeful for a while there. Fingers crossed that all events go as planned!

    You have such a fun lineup of races for the Fall. I hope that in-person races will still be able to happen. Hopefully this new delta variant can get under control.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

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 “my phone eats first” 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 👿 with a cool down 35 minutes on the elliptical 👿 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?
