SAFARI PARK HALF MARATHON - THE TWO WEEK COUNTDOWN BEGINS!


Hey All,

Just two weeks until the next race, I can't believe it's almost here!  This time around, the Half Marathon and 5K proceeds will go towards building a new habitat for the tigers at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.  A huge part of the Half Marathon course will take place inside the park, so you can imagine how incredibly excited I am to run along side wildlife's absolute finest while listening to Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" for the thousandth time.  Innovative, I know.  Check out the course :



This race is very special for me because I will be running with some of my closest friends, who have been beyond supportive throughout this whole process.  It's one thing to have people cheering me on during my race on the sidelines, but to have your friends participate in the actual race itself is more than any girl could ask for, so I am really looking forward to this experience with such a great group of girls!  Speaking of great girls...gotta give A special shout out to Lisa Graham, whose birthday we will be celebrating that weekend by running for 2 hours straight. Yep, we know how to partay round hurrr !!! 
                                  LISA ITS YO BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA !!
