Race Recap: A Better World Running’s Reindeer Run 5k, 12/18/16

December 20, 2016 by Tam Leave a Comment

I love running with A Better World Running during the holidays! My friends, Michelle and Mark, are the RDs and they put on great, intimate races around SoCal. The Reindeer Run is one of my faves!

I dressed up as a SunRype Reindeer! My friend, Cortney, looks amazing!

It was a cold morning. I was still pretty tired from the Paramount Ranch 30k the day before. I’ve been so tired and drained the past couple of weeks but I’m glad to get the miles in.

The best part of the race was seeing friends like Sue, all dressed up! She’s the best and always looks super cute!

5k finish! It was my 104th lifetime 5k and my 14th 5k for the year. I had a slow finishing time but it’s okay…I’m just working my way through this rough patch of fatigue and mental drain. Work was crazy last week and I started strength training which is a new physical challenge. I know that now that I’m on vacation, I’ll get to rest, rejuvenate and feel good again.

I finished and then passed out SunRype fruit strips to the runners and their families! SunRype is a great post-race treat or a snack when you’re on-the-go.

My good friend and Capricorn Buddy, RD Michelle!

I chatted with friends, hung out for a bit and then did the next most important task…got coffee!

I love the bling! Here’s to another race, good friends and the holidays!

Your path, your pace, Tam

Race Recap: Reindeer Run 5k, 12/20/15

I ran A Better World Running’s Reindeer Run 5k on Sunday, December 20, 2015.

I started by volunteering at bib pick-up. This was race directors, Michelle and Mark’s, biggest race so far with 500 runners! Exciting!

Dulce and I started a little late since we were volunteering. We made our own start line! Ready, set, go!

Dulce was doing the marathon so I ran with her till I turned around. It’s always good to run with a dear friend! She’s wayyyyy crazier than I am. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I loved this costume! So cute!

It was a slow race for me. I ran it more as a recovery from yesterday’s Paramount Ranch Trail Half. So I ran it very slowly and took walk breaks. Plus, I was at a holiday party the night before and was sleep deprived. But I figured I’d get in my miles and rest all day afterward!

Finish line!

We got an awesome medal! The Reindeer Run tech shirt was super cute.

We got a nice swag bag, too!

I had fun cheering on the runners with the rest of the crowd.

Naked Juice and other brands were at the finish area, sampling their products.

The Reindeer Run was a lot of fun! I got in some road miles, saw lots of friends and got some cool swag!

It was fun dressing up as a reindeer, too! ๐Ÿ™‚

July 19, 2017 By Tam 9 Comments

Disclaimer: I was given a sample tray of GoMacro’s MacroBars. As always, all opinions are my own. I was excited when GoMacro reached out to me and asked if I wanted to try their MacroBars. I had seen GoMacro bars in the store but hadn’t tried them. I am always on the lookout for good…
