Yo dudes!

Get your September issue of Runner’s World NOW!! Any store in your town that sells magazines, well a good selection, will have Runner’s World. Check it out! I picked up 4 copies tonight. It was hard but I left a few for others…

So I have a new goal..Let’s make this the biggest selling issue that Runner’s World has ever seen. You in?? If so go buy a copy now and tell 5 people to do the same. If you have a blog maybe post it on there.. All of this well help make some major awareness for Cystic Fibrosis!

BREATHE DEEP. RUN HARD. ROCK CF.

My Dream Comes True-Runner’s World Magazine!!!

July29

It has happened…my dream to be in Runner’s World Magzine has come true! Two dreams in one year? What’s the other dream? Meeting my hero Ellen DeGeneres last year of course.

This is something that my running partner Kevin and I would talk about all the time on runs. He’d say “Emmmm you gotta get into Runner’s World somehow.” We did it Kev!

RW is my absolute #1 magazine of all time. Every month when it arrives on my door step it’s like Christmas. I tear it open and read it front to back…those who know me know that I usually just look at pictures in magazines..a.d.h.d!

Ok, so you can read the article by clicking the pic below or the RW logo above. Buuut..I suggest you wait until the new issue comes out next week to see the full page pic! (It’s the September issue that will be out in August).

Lunch, so good I have to share!

July27

I don’t like to toot my own horn toooo much but today put in your earplugs! I just made myself a knock out lunch! Pictured above you see:

Trader Joe’s Split Pea Vegan Soup with a few Kashi 7 Grain Crackers

The Sandwich…ohhhh the sandwich:

2 Pieces of Trader Joe’s Sprouted Wheat Bread- Toasted :)

Trader Joe’s Edamame Hummus slathered on both pieces of bread (This stuff is killer)

Sliced red onion

Avocado slices

Butter lettuce

2 Slices of beefsteak tomatoes grown right in my back yard! Salt and peppered!

Of course you’ll need to throw in some carrot sticks on the side (I ate half before the pic) and some fresh fruit. Today’s choice is black grapes. YUM!

Eating fresh fruits and veggies is very important for good nutrition. I’m a firm believer in eating the colors of the rainbow as much as I can each day..today I knocked out Red, orange, yellow, green…blue, indigo and violet..well the grapes are dark purple..so I guess I’ll just have to eat blue moon ice cream to get my blue in! Wait..I had blueberries for breakfast so I’m covered!

Eat well and Be Well.

Joining Team CF!

July26

I am pleased to announce that I will be joining the Club team of Team CF!! A few months ago I discovered Team CF and knew right away that I needed to ride with this crew because we share some of the exact same ideas and goals for CF. Cycling as a way to spread awareness and raise funds for CF? I think so!

As a part of the team I’ll be rocking their incredible uniform on every ride possible to raise the awareness.

Check out the sponsors!! I use a few of these products to help me rock CF!

Here is my bio for the team:

Check out Team CF HERE.

I’m hoping to get in some more races and rides this summer. Because I had a little infection pop up earlier this month I have not been able to ride or run much. The Cipro that I’m taking to treat my infection causes some rad tendon damage, hence my Achilles issue last year…so rather than rupture that bad boy I’ve been going easy. Hopefully I’ll be kicking butt and taking names this weekend!!
