Hurt the Dirt Recap

I was up bright and Early to get ready for this Hurt the Dirt Race Saturday Morning. My Running Group Picked my up at the Park n' Ride in Zeeland at 6:15am and we were off to Luton Park in Rockford. It was a bit chilly and very windy, to start the morning. We parked at a nearby church and then school buses shuttled the runners to the start of the race.

8:00 am Marathon Start
8:15 am 1/2 Marathon Start
8:30 am 10k+ Start

I decided last minute to just do the 10K+ because my Allergies had been bothering me and I really didn't want to chance getting hurt before the 5/3 River Bank 25K.

The Run was Great once we got going, It was kind of Cold while we were waiting to start but once we got out into the woods it was nice. I Finished in 54 minutes and actually came in first in my age group and 14th overall for the 10k+, I was pleasantly surprised. 

All the Pictures you could possibly want to see

I was able to get a quick pic of the Deshaw Girls Maria and Elise Finishing the 1/2 Marathon

Added a Picture that I found From the Hurt The Dirt !!! Not bad Sometime I hate the way my legs look when running but this one isn't terrible

Is Spring Allergy Season Upon us ??

Saturday I had a great 2 Hour Run and then Sunday a Nice little 3.5 Mile Shake out run.... both were outside. Then Monday Rolled around and I was Tired and winded could this be spring allergies? I am going to need to figure this out ... because it is Wednesday now and I am less Tired but I still feel like I am getting winded really easily :( Boo

Do you have Spring Allergies ?

What do you Do for them ?

Fun, Busy Days

Good Morning, 

I has been a few days since my last post... I have been so busy Running and Grooving that my post kind of fell by the way side. 

So Here are a few of things from the past week.... 

I am obsessed with the flowers from Meijers because the last for weeks, So I have been buying myself a fresh bouquet to have on the counter at home. Brighten up the place a bit 

Riley Girl went to the Groomer to get beautified and she came back all soft and pretty with a cute little easter bandanna which she decided to chew off yesterday :( 

Went on a little hike the other day and it was kind wet outside, but it was nice to just be outside and explore without all the snow. 

Boston Marathon is coming up soon and Shalene Flanagan is on the Cover of Runners World. Which is cool because I met her in person last fall at Gazelle sports in Holland. 

I decided to try this all Veggie Kale Blazer Smoothie... Well yeah lets just say it was interesting, I know Kale is good for you in all but not sure I like drinking it. 

Groove

(above is a link to an Instgram video of Groove)

I have been doing a lot of Groove. This past week alone I have had 4 classes which has been a ton of fun. Here a just a few pictures of Groove at Culture works.

So I was't Grooving for this picture but Culture Works has this cool art pieces with Mirrors and I thought they were cool. 

There also still time to support Stride for Sarah!!
