No Grit, No Pearl

Thursday:
We started the day running with the BBC.  Just a reminder that we meet every Thursday.  Run at 6am.  Breakfast at 7am.  Everyone is welcome!!
It was a yucky, rainy morning…perfect day to wear my new Run 4 Others shirt!!  The profits are donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  Buy yours HERE! 
We stayed for breakfast afterwards to celebrate Steve’s 60th Birhtday!!!
The competition in the Grand Masters Division is heating up!
The Fleet Feet Racing Team “modeled” the new Spring Looks.  It goes without saying that I do NOT have a future as a model!  Click HERE to see the Spring Look Book!
I met up with my girlfriend Shyla for Orange Theory Fitness.  It was a tough class as always and even included a 2400m row!
Yes, I made sure to wear orange to OTF, because I’m a nerd.
Friday:  1st Day of Spring!
Mother Nature didn’t get the Spring memo, so I cheered up the house with roses.
I hit the gym for an 8 mile run, some TRX, free weights, and a green smoothie from Daily Juice.  I loved the Nike Tailwind Tank so much that I bought a few colors!
You have to read the 8 Thoughts Every Runner Has on the First Day of Spring (Runner’s World).  It cracked me up!
1.  That moment the weatherman says it’s going to be 48 degrees the next day.
I made sure to carb up for Saturday’s 20 miler!
This sounds about right to me.
So many runner’s are in their peak training weeks for Spring races.  Remember no grit, no pearl!  It’s hard, but so rewarding!!!
Did you get snow on the first day of Spring?  Some of the social media pictures were crazy!  It was cool in TN, but no snow.
What are your run plans for the weekend?  I’m pacing a group for 20 miles on Saturday.
What’s your next goal race?  I’m one month away from Boston…eek!
If you could have a running sponsorship from one company, what would it be?  I’d go with Saucony, because I spend a fortune on their shoes!
