Sometimes its fun just to spectate! When my friend Jillian said she was coming down from Tennessee to run the Pensacola beach half marathon, I knew I had to go hang out. So Melanie and I drove down early Saturday morning to be Jillian and Sarah's cheer squad. Signs in hands, we were ready.
Yes, we run for margaritas, doesn't everyone?
The weather was perfect for spectating, not so much for running. The humidity was high and the sun was beaming, There is absolutely no shade on the course. However you are at the beach. shade at the beach? No thank you!
Some of you may recognize Regina from Life's Run. She is a fellow FitFluential and Sweatpink Ambassador. As well as an Oiselle and Handana Ambassador. She is also a running coach at Running Wild in Pensacola, if you live over there you should contact her. She is amazing.
After Jillian and Sarah finished running, we headed over to the Pensacola Beach Hilton and chilled out at the amazing pool. If you go to Pensacola beach, you must stay there. It is awesome.
Sarah, Jillian, me, and Melanie. I am not a good photog, sorry!
Sunday I met Mandy for a 3 mile run in the park. It was my first 3 miler in about 6 weeks. I have been nursing this stupid IT band problem. I was happy I had no pain while I was running. YAY! I have a 6 miler planned this week. Call me crazy, but I am running the Rock n Roll New Orleans MARATHON in about 6 weeks. So I need all the prayers I can get!
I also got some new shoes to run in. The Mizuno Wave Prophecy 2. They are gorgeous and they felt awesome on my feet. When I get a few more miles on them, Ill give you and update.
After running we went over to cheer on Melanie's husband Ali, who was running the First Light Marathon Relay with all of his speedy friends. Yes they came in first. I don't like running long races in my town. Its a mental thing, but I love cheering on the course.
I also tried to get a new pet, but he wouldn't let me catch him:(
YOUR TURN: What did you do this weekend? Did you race? Did you cheer? Tell me!
