I’m running a marathon tomorrow

by SkinnyRunner on October 27, 2012

WORKOUT -

Ran outside -

8.0 miles/1:09

relaxed pace

An easy run because I’m headed up to Paso today to run the Paso Robles Marathon tomorrow! 

That means I’m packing the C&C, compression and Compex:

003 (800x440)

Good thing we chopped all that wood and kindling flipped a switch and had our first fire of the season the other night…

003 (800x599)

 

…Because this is happening this weekend:

2012-10-26_1528

Fantastic.  It’s Boston all over again.  I’m hoping/praying/wishfully thinking that it will be cooler in the morning before the sun scorches the vineyards of Paso.

I’m going for the weekend with my good girlfriend.  The husband can’t come because he has a “job to do” on Monday. 

 I think it’s really because Texas Tech has an important football game today that he doesn’t want to miss.  Even Marni put on her best Tech bandana to match the Tech Snuggie:

001 (800x449)

Guns Up!

STEALS AND DEALS – the 20% off code

Today’s the last day to use the Road Runner Sports promo code: it’s good for 10% off and 20% off for VIPs on their R-Gear (their own line of clothing).  I bought this and this.

SkinnyRunnerRGear_Promo

CLICK Espresso Protein drink is having a Halloween sale with 20% off and free shipping.  Monica and I were just talking yesterday about making healthier Starbucks-like Frappuccinos for our husbands with CLICK. 

The promo code is TREAT.

318

I just found (and used) a promo code for Philosophy bath and skin products: if you spend $50, use code UNITED to get 20% off and free shipping.

One last code, Bath&Body Works also has a 20% off code good until November 2nd. RMNOCTBBW.

Any good deals to share?

Are you watching any football games today?

Go Noles!!! Fsu-duke game :) and yes, my husband will make excuses so he can watch his team play, too. In fact he refused to have a fall wedding because he might “miss an important game” good gracious! Good luck tomorrow!

Sabrina October 27, 2012 at 12:05 pm

Yep, Go Noles! I am with your hubby on fall weddings. Unless they are carefully planned. :)

Karen October 27, 2012 at 1:03 pm

Yay Noles! My bf gets very upset when we are invited to fall weddings/bdays/etc and has made it very clear we won’t have a fall wedding bc of football games lol

I’m jealous of that weather – it’s going to snow here (again) tonight :(

Laura@RunningJunkie123 October 27, 2012 at 12:44 pm

That’s going to be one hot marathon! Good luck!

I’m jealous of the weather though. We’re currently in a state of emergency because apparently this chick named Sandy is going to hand our asses to us tomorrow night.

No football. My daughter is watching the Addams Family and I’m baking pumpkin everything (important hurricane preperation).

Sorry, that weather looks wonderful….my daughter ran this morning in 40 degrees with the computer saying “feels like 28 outside”….ha!

I’m reading over my Sunday school lesson for tomorrow…no game watching over here. ;-)

Hook ‘em Horns!!
I actually went to the UT vs KU game in Lawrence, KS today and watched the Horns barely eek out a win. I’m switching between the Texas Tech – KSU game and the Hawaii Ironman right now!

Good luck in your race tomorrow! I’m sure you will do awesome! Can’t wait to read about it next week!!

I’m watching the Tech/KState game! But I’m a KSU alum and I’m loving how well we’re doing. They haven’t been this good since I went to school there!

I am amazed at how much you run. I ordered a pair of those compression socks last month and used them today. My legs felt great after running 12 miles. Do you know of any codes for the compression socks? I wish I ordered 2 pairs. My bright pink ones won’t match everything so I need another pair but don’t want to spend $50.00. I’m all about the coupon codes.

Reply

Angie October 27, 2012 at 8:18 pm

There is a code for 50% off Pro compression socks on GeerBuzz. The code is GB100. Also free shipping. I did not see any date the email was from Oct 25. Hope this helps.

I watched my Gators lose yesterday. It was a sad day.

When do you travel to NYC? Are you worried about the weather? We are supposed to fly into LaGuardia on Thursday and I’ve been watching The Weather Channel all weekend…worried sick : (

“Football”…what is that? What does it mean? I don’t roll like that! Good luck on the run, hopefully it’s not too steamy!

Jacqueline October 28, 2012 at 8:56 am

Ouch that’s warm for Paso this time of year.
I already know your going to rock it anyway.
We have a beach house in Pismo, it would be uber cool to run a race with you some day.
