That's just a very small portion of what all has been going on this past month. Life is good! 

Having a great time at the Lake Sammamish Half! Perfect weather and perfect run!
I started off this race thinking that I would run an easy 11:30 the whole time in preparation for the Hot Chocolate 15k the next day, that didn't last long. The weather was too nice to waste! I split off from the pacers and just had fun :D
11:30 Pacer for the Hot Chocolate 15k Seattle with Beast Pacing!
I had an amazing opportunity to pace with Beast Pacing once again at the Hot Chocolate 15k. I had a blast even if I didn't have anyone following me during the race. At least I kept perfect time!
Cherry Blossom run with SGLRG!
I have been casually a part of SGLRG for a couple of years now but haven't really been able to make the MeetUps whether it from my work schedule or just living too far away. Now that I live just a couple of miles away, no excuses not to join in on the fun! This run was through Univeristy of Washington's campus to look at the beautiful Cherry Blossoms! 
I was the blue bunny in the Beat the Bunny 5k
I was asked to be one of the bunnies at the Beat the Bunny 5k this year. I felt so honored to be asked! It was a really hard gig (when it came to the actual running) but it was so much fun to hang out with a bunch of active kids! As you can see a couple of other mascots decided to join in on the fun as well.
Some friends and I ran on the Iron Horse trail for 13 ish miles, such a great run!
We are all training for something, so we decided to take a field trip! The Iron Horse trail is over 100 miles long but we just ran 13 miles of it. Such a beautiful trail and it's an easy run! 

My new "baby"! So excited to use this new watch!
Banana cream pie for Pi Day! Sooooo goooood! 
New furniture from Ikea for my new apartment! Ikea owns me now...
Just a little bit of catch up, now that I am moved and settled in, I hope I can post more often. 
Happy happy day! Keep on running!

One does not simply sit on the toilet after leg day

That's right, I said it. And you know it's true. Today I thought I'd share with you a few memes that make me laugh.  This one is huge for me! Every time I see someone actively working out at the gym that is over weight I want to go up and give them a high five and say they are awesome.  Enough said! How I feel after long runs. Yeeps! The best one yet!  To have the enthusiasm of this girl! I hope you all enjoyed and at least giggled once or twice, yes, giggled!  Keep on running!

520 10k

Did you know that Seattle hosts that largest floating bridge in the world! And for their grand opening they hosted a 10k race! The Go Long 520 10k , how cool is that! This was one opportunity that I just couldn't miss. This was the first 10k that I have run in months and months. So I really didn't know what to expect as far as pace. My goal was to get below 1 hour and I did! I came in at 57 minutes! Which is the fastest I have ever run 10k.  The race had many issues, bottle-necking was the primary one. Thankfully I was keeping a fast enough pace to miss out on those problems though. But considering that it was a pop up race that had never been done before, I think it went very well.    My power pose for finally getting below 1 hour! Keep on Running!
