I'm like 6 days into my billing cycle with Bank of America and more than half way to my credit limit. Hahaha. Good lord. Maybe buying 2 plane tickets and registering for 3 races within a week wasn't my best idea. Seemed good at the time.
Here's what I've bought:
- Flight to Portland, Oregon to visit my awesome cousin Molly and run a trail race with her
- Registration for the Haulin Aspen 1/2 Marathon in Bend, Oregon
- Flight to Atlanta, Georgia for the annual 4th of July lake weekend with all my college buddies
- Registration for the State to State 1/2 Marathon that will allow me to check off Ohio AND Indiana while running with one of my most amazing friends, Lindsey. TWO STATES with one race, how cool, right?!?
- Rock N Roll Vegas 1/2 Marathon! It's down the strip and it's a night race. I'm so pumped for this, you don't even know. I convinced my dad (didn't even have to twist his arm) that our family should get together in Vegas for vacation in December instead of getting together for Christmas. Since my youngest brother is obsessed with online poker it wasn't hard to get him on my side either, since he'll obviously enjoy a trip to the Mecca of poker. It's fine to be jealous of my fam. I would be too. Extra perk: there are going to be a ton of running bloggers there. You should really come so we can be real life friends :) Check out the details here.
- Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon Registration
- Outer Banks 1/2 Marathon Registration
- Flight to Las Vegas, Nevada (this is kinda mandatory - I am NOT wasting that $130 I just spent on the race...it hurts me to type that number)
I really need to find myself a pilot to marry. Either that or a race director. This crap is gettin pricey. If you know of any eligible bachelors help a girl out.
Have you registered for any races recently? My race schedule is filling up quickly. Check out my upcoming races tab at the top.
Where are you going for summer vacation? I can't wait to sport my super-classy American Flag bathing suit (which I totally got from Target) at Lake Lanier (near hot-lanta) this 4th of July.
P.S. - If you want some new beautiful, simple, and unique jewelry go check out Scene, Not Herd. I won this necklace off Team Lando's blog and I got in the mail this morning...obviously put it on immediately for work today. It's so me. Love it.

That necklace is so pretty and so is your top! So cute!
And sorry about all that money you spent... running seems to be a pretty expensive hobby. Crap.
I love that necklace!! I would love to do vegas... but I am SO so poor :( boo. running the strip would be AWESOME!!! running may be expensive but its soo worth it!
Wow you travel a lot for races. Don't worry it's not a judgment, it's completely jealousy!!
My race schedule is on hold for now. I was wanting to do a 77 miler (soon) but the family and some health concerns (might) have detrailed it for now. So a couple 50ks and hopefully a fall 50 miler will be the highlights of the rest of my year (if I get the dr goahead).
Sweet necklace. Winning looks great on everyone!
I just convinced hubs that our non-family vacation (no kids) should be Vegas so I can run the 1/2 in December!! Yay! We lucked out cause we have a credit with Southwest airlines so I just need to register.
I have a few 5k's that I registered for in June but nothing else after that.
So jealous you have so many races lined up. And yay for Oregon, that's where I grew up.
Wish I could do the Vegas Half but it's the Sunday before finals lame!
My summer includes a three-week camping road trip starting Saturday yay!
Wow! That's a lot of races lined up! That's fun. And that necklace is adorable.
Wow you're a travelling/jet-setting runner! I love it!
We'll be in Maine and NC this summer. Gotta scope out some races there I think.
What? hahahaha I spammed you? lol CRAP I hope this isn't happening all over the internet!
Exciting race schedule! Sounds awesome! I haven't registered for anything yet, but I've got some plans developing in the back of my mind. I should probably make them official :)
Very pretty necklace! And I love Target bathing suits :)
Signing up for races is so frighteningly expensive and addictive! I am trying to reign it in right now! I'm pretty jealous of RnR Vegas though, it sounds amazing. I'm not celebrating National Running Day which breaks my heart but I'll be celebrating my ass off on Saturday running 31 miles.
Sam, you have me itching to use a discount code!! Soooo many races!!
You look gorgeous! Love the necklace!!
What a beautiful necklace, I love it!
Way to go crazy on race registration too!
Yay for coming to Atlanta, I live near there!
:)
1. Why is National Running Day also a day too hot to run?
2. I need a good race or two between now and MCM.
3. Summer vacation = ??? Here, at my pool mostly.
Aw, I love that you are signing up for so many races (even though I feel ya on the bank account think). I am so upset that I am having my foot problems, because I was really looking forward to packing my race schedule all year! I had a really busy spring and I LOVED it! Are you doing the full or half marathon in Vegas?
Wow look at all those races!! I too will be near the Atl July 4th weekend for my family's annual "Christmas In July" lake weekend! Love having Christmas in July! I love the necklace!
What a beautiful necklace! My desk neighbor wears a lot of pretty jewelry and has inspired me to start wearing the pieces that I own on a more regular basis.
I'm cutting back on the number of races I'm doing this year in order to save money for my wedding. I haven't registered for any lately, but I've got a 5K in my hometown at the end of the month that I need to sign up for. I'm also planning to register for the Red, White and Boom half, but I'm waiting until the last possible moment to do it.
ahhhh! i'm so jealous of all your race sign ups! after seattle, i'm currently signed up for ZERO races! lol. but trust me, i get a bonus in july and 90% of that sucker is going to fall race registrations!
Hey! Just found your blog...anyways, haven't registered for anything lately but I hear you on the pricey races! I really want to marry a pilot too haha.
Cubicle Life! Anything to make that better is helpful.
I cannot stop registering for races!! I started out with 1 half marathon this year. That quickly turned to two. Then I thought I need a 3rd. I'm up to 8 this calendar so far - but I am still eyeballing another one. Race registering is my addiction!
.... Half # 8 for me? Las Vegas RnR!!
