I could lie to you, but that title came just because I am slightly obsessed with Spotify and yep. I was listening to Travis Tritt. If we can't be honest with the Internets, then who can we be honest with?
That's right. Mr and Mrs Smith and I are running the Rock N Roll Savannah 1/2 marathon on November 5th. I could lie and say that Philly was perfectly okay with this, but he was not. November 5th is also the day that the Crimson Tide battles the Bayou Bengals in Tuscaloosa. Yep. You guessed. I am missing an Alabama football game to torture myself for 13.1 miles. Not just ANY game. An SEC game. BIG DEAL, people who aren't from the South or who don't care about football!
Anywho.
We are super pumped and the lovely Tonia at Racing with Babes made me a training plan, so it started this week. But not without a new pair of shoes. I finally did my shoe fittings right. I went to Fleet Feet in Huntsville- they have the treadmill. (Side note. Don't go for a running shoe fitting in a dress.) Turns out, I pronate my right foot. B-A-D. Can you guess what knee I have trouble with? Yep. The right one. Amazing! There's the light bulb!
So. I know I wanted a pair of the Frees-but the color was no where to be found and running store dude said no way, bad idea. So, I got some shoes that have some stability on the inside. The Brooks Ravennas.

| It's not a glitter stiletto, but it's close! So.. Of course I had John take some pictures of me on my first week of training, complete with the new kicks- which I have been on a few runs in, and I LOVE them. No knee pain!! And since J gets mad when I put weird face pictures of him on the Internets, This is just for you. |

| It's a talent to be this pale. I keep hoping for Edward Cullen to come along... |
 |
| What? A redheaded kid wants in my picture? NEVER! |
 |
| I'm getting my majorette pose down.. |
 |
| And.. I'm going to punch this Half Marathon in the FACE!!! |
Are there any of you planning to run RnR Savannah? If so, let's plan a blogger dinner? Anyone game?
More importantly.. what should I wear for the race? I was thinking.. something Bama inspired since it's game day. You know how I am about dressing up for games, right??
I'm still fighting with myself about this! I don't want to go to that wedding haha but feel guilty if I don't. BOO.
ReplyDeleteYou should wear Bama! if I go I will rep my Gators. Linds can do DUKE hahaha :) I love you Lindsey :)
super exciting!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love this post! And I NEED a Disney Princess shirt. I may need to work on that!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! You ladies will have a blast! I just got some new running shoes a couple of weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you are missing that game! David is too. He is in a wedding. Not me, I will be there, with his sold ticket!
ReplyDeleteI'm running this!!!!!! It's my friend Sarah and my second half marathon!! How did you find someone to make you a training plan? I think that is exactly what we are missing!
ReplyDeleteLove it! You ARE going to punch that race in the face!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you both are running together!!! R&R is coming to Tampa this year and I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteI love my Brooks Ravennas! Glad the Fleet Feet guy convinced you to steer clear of the Frees!
ReplyDeleteI love those running skorts. They are super cute and jaunty.
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile. Best of luck in your training!
ReplyDeleteOooh girlfriend, I feel your pain. The Nike Marathon is the same weekend as Auburn/Florida in Auburn! Game-day running attire is definitely needed!
