Home For The Holidays...

I've been on vacation mode since Christmas Eve when I came home for the holidays. And not my usual vacation mode where I work out every day (which is what I should be doing), but an actual "I've only exercised once in the 8 days I've been here" vacation mode...

Christmas Eve was spent traveling; hanging out with family; and doing Snap Chat shenanigans with my baby sister...

Then we went over to my cousin's house and hung out with him for a bit...

On Christmas morning my family and I went to Church; then we went back to our respective houses and finished our Christmas Dinner food preparations; then we had a wonderful Christmas Dinner together; and then we opened presents. My favorite gifts were a top that says "Faster in Jamaica"...

For Torryn and Ryan...

Tomorrow I will run in my 3rd Wings for Life World Run! I've enjoyed this event for the past two years (since its inception) and I'm pretty confident tomorrow will not disappoint. I'm going to try and stick with a "run a mile: walk a little" interval strategy, but really my primary goal is to run farther than I did last year (a 10K) and to have fun!

Today was packet pick-up. They had several dates and locations for packet pick-up this year, but I always prefer to go the day before and see what they have set up at the BBT Center. This year they provided a pre-race day warm up/boot camp session, so I took Kai with me and we joined in the fun...

Running Tee Made Just For Me!!!!

I'm beyond excited about the shirt that my brother created for me!

His company is called Binary Fashion and these particular shirts have the binary code for D, N, & A listed under each letter :)

There are also a variety of different colors (for those of you that aren't as obsessed with purple as I am) and different styles...

He also created a discount code for me to share with everyone for 20% off! You can click >> FASTER20 << and that will take you straight to the site to order the shirt with the 20% off discount already included!

I'm planning to give away one of the shirts to one of the runners featured on my @100runners Instagram account! You have to be featured to qualify for the giveaway, so if you're interested in being featured:

1. Follow the account @100runners

2. DM or email (thisismyfaster@yahoo.com) a picture of your running shoes (one pair) and your (one sentence) answer to the "why do you run?" question 

The sooner I get to 100 runners the sooner I can do the giveaway ;)

But if you don't want to wait for that then check out FASTER20 for more info on how to order your "Running is in my DNA" shirt or look at some of the other great shirts on the BINARY FASHION site!
