Pick Me.

You all know I love nuun.  If you follow me on Instagram {theMFDre}, run with me, yoga with me, work with me, live with me, or are friends with me…you know. I’ve got tubes of it stockpiled in case of disaster — even in our earthquake kit.

Applications close tomorrow to join their Hood to Coast relay team and guess who’s dying to join this team.

yes.

Pick. Me.
Please.
Pretty Please.

and I’ll try to be patient until April 17th to find out.

Re-Prioritizing.

With all of the changes going on in my world, my blogging has been a bit lackluster and more non-existent than existent over the last few weeks.   As the Mr. and I were being rebellious the other night, I mentioned to him that while I am thrilled to be super challenged again mentally, I missed having time to write and reconnect on my own life – whether I’m good at it or not, I really enjoy blogging and I miss the opportunity to reconnect with myself and anyone who actually reads … :)

I know I just need to be patient with myself and figure out how to manage all my interests in a way that works.  It will all sort itself out.

As I’m learning how to re-manage my interests, I had to make a hard decision the other day…I decided to bow out of the Nuun Hood to Coast relay that I was accepted into last April.

I cannot tell you how bummed I am about this, but I know I made the right decision.   I’m going to be taking a lot of long weekends this fall and with the start of a new job, it was the right thing to give up.  Sadly.

The most amazing group of women are going to be running with Nuun and I was really looking forward to spending 24 sweaty, silly, sparkly, spirited and totally exhausting hour with them running from Mt. Hood to the Coast.

  However I promise I’ll be stalking following all the adventures of Team AfterNuun Delight right here. And I cannot wait to re-apply for the squad next year!

Hey Upper East Siders, MF Dre here…. and I have the biggest news ever.

{Calm yourself, I’m just being dramatic}

Actually, while I’ve been holed up here this week

I’ve been waiting for three pieces of news and since I’m not good at keeping my own secrets, I’m going to have to let you in on the gossip.

1. Remember this little application? We’ll word came out yesterday and I’ve been selected as one of the alternates to join this talented team of amazing runners and ridiculously creative bloggers to run the Hood to Coast relay this August as part of Team AfterNuun Delight. SO FUN! Since reading all of the recaps from these girls after Ragnar Relay So Cal this past weekend, I’m dying to run a relay event and really hope that I’ll make the official team. (BIG HUGE GINORMOUS DISCLAIMER – Of course I mean this without wishing any harm or injury to any of the team! Only happy joyous things/life events that might require one of them to need an alt and make room on the official Nuun H2C team for me to run!)

I’ll be sharing more information as it comes and I’m thrilled to be a part of this group. Feel free to follow all of us along the journey – you will love these ladies! Dorothy put together a great list here

2. ING NYC Marathon. Sadly, running into the set-up of the event yesterday morning was the closest I got to running this year’s NYC Marathon. In all candor, I’m not that bummed. While it would have been awesome to do LA, Boston, Chicago and NY all in one year, I know that running back to back marathons is tough and a lot to ask of your body. Plus, I’ve got a bunch of other great races on the list this year that require focus. NYC and I will meet someday. I’m in no hurry.

3. One more piece of running-related gossipnews. Words out and as of this morning I will not be getting a Tiffany necklace either this year (at least not from the race).

Looks like I will be focusing hard core on Chicago Marathon in October without a bunch of other looming races. Probably a good thing mentally and physically!

Did you get in to NYC? Or Nike Women’s Marathon?

Any race/sport/activity on your bucket list?

So I got a leeeetle bit creative yesterday.

I was sitting at my desk waiting on hold and a very important newsflash across my twitter feed:

The team at Nuun is building 3 – all female – all blogger – teams to run Hood to Coast – a 197 mile 12 person relay from Mt. Hood all the way to the Sea in Oregon!  So my friend Hutch and I decided to apply and we’re crossing our fingers and toes that they’ll accept both of us!

Don’t you think they should pick me too?

Have you run this race before?

Did you apply? Show off your entry here!
