Rock N Roll Dallas Expo!

Yes, I realize this is a bit late! Sorry! :)

On Friday, March 22, 2013 I went to the Dallas RNR Expo!

After picking up my packet, some very nice ladies offered to take my picture!

After I picked up my shirt...

I got to see how long it was until the race!! :)

We got a pretty cool swag bag too! :)

While going through the expo, I won this bottle from a giant banana at Jamba Juice!

Sophie wasn't quite sure what to think of the giant talking banana!

She didn't want him near her though! lol

I bought this awesome stuff called ZipFizz!

Have any of you ever tried it?

It's actually pretty tasty!

Pink Lemonade is my Favorite!

It's an All Natural, 10 calorie, zero sugar energy drink!

I've drank it several times now on my walks and I think it boosts my energy for sure!

I also bought this very cute, sparkly pink headband from Hippie Runner!

It was too cute to pass up! :)

I bought my very first Sweaty Band!

I LOVE this thing! It's sooo bright!

This picture does not do it justice!

I bought all of this 13.1 stuff from a small shop and I cannot remember the name of it!

The socks and keychain say 13.1: I Don't Go All The Way!

I LOVED it! HaHa! Had to have them!

All of my swag! I had a lot of fun walking around the expo!

I posted this on my Facebook page, but here was my Flat MaMa for the race!

I realized later that I didn't take a pic of my shoes!

I had to add it on, because I love my bright pink LockLaces and this is the first race I got to wear my 13.1 Shubeez! I was so excited! :)

The final thing I did before taking off for my race was changing my iPhone background to this pic!

Can you tell I love pink?! HaHa :)

The Recap is coming up soon! :)

Cowtown Half Recap!

On Sunday, February 24, 2013 I ran my first official Half Marathon! Before the race started, I met up with these fellow MRTT ladies! Pic from How My World Runs It was freezing cold (yes 33 degrees is freezing to this Texan! haha) and I was hoping it wouldn't warm up too much because I run so much better in the cold. I ended up wearing my jacket the whole time and was completely comfortable! We had a wind advisory in affect and I think the wind made it even cooler. This was also my first time to run with my new haircut and with my hair down! Didn't bother me at all! Short hair for the win! :) I was in the very last Corral to start. Yes, I know I'm slow. Get Over it!<---Saw that saying on several shirts throughout the race! Looks like I need one! haha :) I had to post this pic, because I have no idea what I was doing, nor remember even taking it! Haha! About 20 min before the race, I headed to the porta potty's. Yeah, I should have

Starting over with something new.

Way back in 2012 I started running...for reals... I ran my first Virtual Half Marathon in June and then in the Fall, I started meeting up with a Moms RUN This Town friend 3-4 days a week to walk/run 3-4 miles with our kiddos in the stroller. We started training for the Cowtown Half Marathon and I started dropping weight. By December, I had lost 35 lbs (this was total since having Sophie, not just in 2-3 months) and I looked the best I had looked in a very long while. Then I ran the Cowtown Half in February of 2013, hurt my hip, stopped running, walked the Dallas Rock N Roll Half a month later and then stopped running for good until August of 2013. I then started trying to pick it up a bit here and there while also participating in Stroller Strides. The thing is...I started gaining weight once I stopped running. Didn't matter if I was doing stroller strides. I just kept getting bigger. First it was just 10 lbs. I kept it at that 10 lb weight gain from August until January
