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! 🙁 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.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

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!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

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!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
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?!
