I am now a Hot Chocolate Ambassador!

Hello everyone! I am super excited to announce that I have been selected a a Hot Chocolate Ambassador! 
I have run two Hot Chocolate 15ks and last year I even paced the Seattle Hot Chocolate 15k! 


The Hot Chocolate 15/5k series began in Chicago in 2008. The owner of RAM Racing was looking for a fun, holiday event to end the year since the Chicago Marathon was the last major running event of the year (October). Something that wasn’t Christmas or Santa-themed that people would really enjoy. While a Starbucks fanatic, hot chocolate is the only thing he’ll order and as he was pontificating holding a cup of cocoa the light bulb went off!

That year there were 3,000 runners. In 2009 that number grew to 12,000. 2010 – 30,000 runners. 2011 – 40,000. 2012-13 we have hovered around 40,000+ runners, making it the largest race in the city of the Chicago. In 2012 RAM Racing expanded – taking the race to Washington D.C., Dallas and San Diego. Each year we have added 5-7 cities new cities. Today there are 15 Hot Chocolates all over the country between October and April. Runner feedback is important to us and that can seen through the quality of our production value, course, and the goodie bag. Last year 15,000 runners participated in our 3rd Seattle Hot Chocolate race. This year we are hoping for more as we debut a chocolate medal exclusively for 15k finishers!

High Nuun All Day!

As in wearing Nuun all day! I was really excited to be able to try my very first Nuun tablet today, I got my water in my water bottle and dropped in my tablet and closed it… Big mistake! My water bottle has a straw in it. There are no warning labels on the Nuun containers but maybe there should be. Why? Because I opened the tab on my water bottle after it finished dissolving and it exploded like a geyser all over me! So I was completely covered in Nuun  while at work... not fun.  If you haven't heard about Nuun , you are probably wondering what it is! What is Nuun ?  Nuun   is an electrolyte tab that helps you "one up" your water to make a healthy, fruit flavored drink. Unlike most sports or electrolyte drinks it has no sugar, is under 8 calories and only equipped with the essential electrolytes and vitamins your body needs to replenish after activity.  The tubes are small and will fit perfectly in any purse/bag/briefcase, etc. They are eco-friendly and TSA approve

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!
