my alphabet of races (part 2)

May 4, 2022      6 Comments

Last week, I posted Part 1 of my alphabet of races. This week, I plan to finish it off!

Can I hit every letter? Let’s find out!

N is for NEON Vibe

Let’s travel back to 2014, when I did this untimed blacklight/neon/glow in the dark race. In case you can’t see, it was a ton of fun! I don’t love untimed races, especially when there is no medal, but this was cool.

O is for Best Damn Race ORLANDO

You all know I love the Best Damn Race Series, and this one definitely brought me one of my favorite race pictures of all time.

P is for PINK Up The Pace 5K

Love this super local 5K in support of breast cancer awareness, detection and support. It’s a fantastic event that is definitely a community favorite, and I am grateful for every chance I have to run it.

Q is for…

Fail. I have not Qs.

R is for RAPTOR Run 3k

Ever run a 3K? Ever run a 3K where you’re competing against an inflatable raptor? It’s an experience worth having.

S is for SUPERHERO Run 8k

This is another unusual distance, and one of my first races back post-COVID (See the mask). I actually really enjoyed this event and the course. Runners traveled along the river, which is just really pretty and provides some visual interest during the miles.

T is for TURTLE Crawl 5k

Another Jekyll Island Race, another fabulous photo. It’s great getting to run in other cities, and experiencing new courses. This is definitely one to run again.

U is for ULTIMATE Tri

Once upon a time, I registered for and completed a sprint triathlon. It was insane, but i did it! The swim was great. The bike was terrifying. And the run was just fine. I don’ know that I feel confident enough on the bike to do it again, but in the moment, it was a huge accomplishment.

V is for VILANO Bridge 10K

Bridge races are a special kind of fun, but I do love the Vilano Bridge. I walk or run there on a weekly basis, so it’s cool to have a race where it is a feature of the course. The event returned from a COVID hiatus this year, and I would love to take another crack at it!

W is for WOLFSON’s Children’s Challenge Relay

I am always in for a good relay, and getting to run for the local children’s hospital is such an honor. The Wolfson Children’s Challenge Relay is such a great way to support some truly amazing warriors, and I am hoping to return to the field next year.

X is for…

Second fail. I’ve got nothing.

Y is for Y Not Tri Inside Triathlon

Ah yes. Sometimes I tri. The YMCA hosted an inside triathlon, with a pool swim, stationary bike ride and treadmill run. It was a cool experience.

Z is for ZOOMA Florida 12k!

Let’s take it back to 2015 when I ran a 12K on Amelia Island. I will be giving it another go this October, with some amazing companions, and I can’t wait to return to the ZOOMA event circuit!

And there you have it!

    I wouldn’t have Q or X either. Probably wouldn’t have a whole lot of the letters. You’ve done a lot!

    Wow, you definitely have some great race photos! I did a couple triathlons back in the day, and “terrifying” is a great way to describe the bike. Those triathletes are vicious and ruthless on the bike! I felt like I was going to get run over. I’m very happy to stick to running races!
    You did really well- I would have been astonished to see an X or Q. Maybe you can find a race at some point to fit those letters and add it in!

    Amazing that someone thought of organizing an indoor triathlon. Perhaps not as much fun as doing it outdoors, but definitely innovative.
    Well done on getting nearly all the alphabet!

We almost melted into puddles today. Literally. Ev We almost melted into puddles today. Literally. Everything was soggy, heavy, and sticky. The air was thick to breathe. It was just miserable.

But did we get it done? You know it! We just keep pushing through!

I didn’t have time for the beach today but I’l I didn’t have time for the beach today but I’ll make up for it later in the week. Monday wasn’t quite the same but I will make it work.

Do you have set locations and workouts for each day of the week or do you wing it? Do you feel off if your schedule has to adjust?

Kind of a crazy morning: while I was out, I got the heads up that there was a major police presence in the neighborhood. Ugh. I was able to adjust my route to stay away, and the perps (teens breaking into cars) were apprehended.

Never a dull moment!

Anything like that ever happen while you are out for your run?

This morning, I had to run to beat the rain. We ha This morning, I had to run to beat the rain. We had some terrible storms some through and so of course, we had to adjust.

I was tired after a late night on my feet, slinging pizza and snacks for the 8th grade formal, but I got up and moving anyway. Hoping to get a little rest tomorrow, but we will see how it goes.

Anyway else in the end of school year chaos? Or any other kind of chaos? We have got this 💪🏻!

Clicking my heels for the weekend! Friends, it is Clicking my heels for the weekend!

Friends, it is so hot out there 🥵! Ugh!

We have the 8th grade dance tonight: the school year is winding down so we are doing all the things in the next few weeks. 🎉 

What’s on your weekend calendar?

Can we talk about this monster? Last week, he had Can we talk about this monster?

Last week, he had a bump on his foot. We thought it was a big bite and it didn’t seem to be bothering him. Well, it continued into this week and so we went into our vet.

Poor boo has an infected cyst (benign). He got it drained and cleaned, was so very brave for a shot off antibiotics, doodled in the office and came home with a topical med to help him heal. 

He’s is 100% unbothered and on the road to recovery. 😍

Rise and grind in the sunrise! Not a lot of sleep Rise and grind in the sunrise!

Not a lot of sleep last night. Today is full of meetings and errands and I had to get a move on.

Sweet Leonidas has a little infection. I’m collaborating with some amazing creatives today. And tonight, I get a preview of marching band! Can’t wait!

What are you up to today?

Streeeeetch! It’s the right thing to do. Even o Streeeeetch! It’s the right thing to do.

Even on the days when everything feels good, the smart thing to do is stretch those muscles, to keep them healthy and flexible. 

Do you notice a difference when you stretch and when you don’t?
