Wednesday #GIVEAWAY Roundup - #WinAllThePrizes

Today is the last Wednesday in August which means September and Fall and Soup and Pumpkin everything is just around the corner!  I am excited but this summer, while HECTIC, was pretty awesome!  I guess in San Diego it is easy to love all the seasons.  They all range between 55-85 degrees.  We do pay a HEFTY sunshine tax for that benefit though!

STOP TALKING Smitha and get to the TWO giveaways this week!

The first is for one of my absolute favorite companies - Vega!  They have a brand new "CLEAN" formula for their protein and Energy drinks.  One of you has a chance to win your choice of Protein and your choice of energy.  Enter over on Instagram.  It ends on 9/2.


I really love this giveaway because it is something I use every single day!  Love Vega protein powder with one cup almond milk, an Emergen-C packet and a banana.  Every morning!

I also have a giveaway going for a $75 e-voucher to JORD Watches and everyone (except the winner of course) who enters gets a $20.00 e-gift card!  



More to come in a formal review but I wanted to make sure you all knew about this giveaway!  It ends on Sunday 9/25!  Check out mine above:  It is a PURPLE real wood watch!  With a mother of pearl face!  Sigh!  So pretty!


That said, join me and Erica in the Roundup where all the best giveaways on these inter webs reside.  We had LOTS of giveaways link up last week!  So make sure you link up your giveaway and enter to #WinAllThePrizes!  Remember, the rules can be found here.


If you link up, please make sure to add the end date

So, what is your favorite season?  What is your favorite smoothie ingredient?  What are you more excited for - the protein powder or the watch gift card?!  Can't wait to see what you are linking up or giving away this week!

As always, I wish you Happy Feet,
SD Mom

You are fast. I am slow. 5 Reasons you should Run with me Anyway!

I have been wanting to write this post for a long time.  I have been feeling a LOT of guilt because I am so much slower than my BRFs.  So much.  Like they can run a 8 min mile and I run a 11 min mile.  Yeah.  Exactly.  And I am not sure I can go much faster.


So this is a love letter to my BRFs: Jenn, Vanessa, Jenny, Jenn, Jamye, Angela, Leslie, Alexis, Kate, Annie...so many of you who continue to slow down for me and take walk breaks with me.  So why do these women who can run 7 minute miles still agree to run 11 minute miles with me?

1.  I will take you to fun new places!


My absolute favorite place to run in San Diego is the Los Penasquitos Canyon trails and no better time than in the pitch dark with the aid of a headlamp, or in my case, glove lamps!  There is even a cool waterfall there!


So many of my running friends have thanked me for taking then out to these non-technical not so hilly trails!  So stick with me and I will show you the world!

2.  There is usually coffee involved!


So not only do I know some pretty awesome places to run, I also know where you can get some killer coffee.


You can thank me later but if you are EVER in Pine Valley, California, you need coffee at Major's.  Specifically, the Turkish coffee.  So smooth.  Call me your Coffee Tour Guide!

3.  I will let YOU take me anywhere to run!

Jenny gave me and Jenn and guided tour of Mt. Laguna recently and even though I was scared, I agreed to go.


I am a GIANT 'fraidy cat!  I am scared of everything...turns out, even cows!


But I love a good adventure!

4.  I am NOT afraid to laugh at myself!

Most of my pictures turn out closer to outtakes than masterpieces.  In fact, the pictures you see on Instagram are carefully curated and filtered.


I knew that branch wouldn't hold me!


If you love someone, grab a cheek!

5.  I am super fun when I am not running too!

I go to concerts.


I will come meet you at an expo!


Me and my family will come meet you ad your family for lunch!


We can go on a Triple Date Night!


I will toast with you!

So, If you are ever in the San Diego area and want someone to run with, drink coffee with or just show you around, message me!  I would love to hear from you!

I am linking up this post with Tuesdays on the Run blog link up with My No-Guilt LifeMCM Mama Runs and Marcia's Healthy Slice!

As always,  I wish you Happy Feet,
SD Mom
