Turkey Trot in Uniontown, PA
Happy Thanksgiving!
At my Great Aunt's for all day Family Festivities.
Showing off our shirts and my medal for 1st place in my division!
I heart cold weather gear
Found this colder weather running top I really like. Not only is it a cool shade of pink and black, the shape of the bodice is like a sweetheart top which is a favorite of mine...gives your basic half-zip a stylish twist!

New shoes!
I just bought new running shoes. They are Nike Air Pegasus +27.. the updated version of my Nike Air Pegasus +26 (the shoes I wore for my Half Marathon) I have been trying out a few different shoes since this summer but I finally just had to go get these! The color of these shoes compared to my last pair isn't as fun but they will do as long as they are blue! These shoes fit me so well. I'll have them broken in very shortly!
My First Half
Thought I would share some photos from my first ever Half Marathon this past year. Hard work and dedication got me to the finish line under my goal time-- 1:39:59.. just under 8 minute miles! Competing in this race was an amazing experience to say the least. (Look for a post later on about my training for this event!)
I already registered for the Pittsburgh Half Marathon in May 2011!

| My supporters! They surprised me with shirts that said "Run Bess Run." We didn't even coordinate the matching colors! |

The PB of PB and B.
This peanut butter is the best! I switched to this kinda of Jif with Omega-3 about a year ago. It's got the same amount of protein plus the added omega-3 and less carbs! The texture is more smooth and creamy compared to regular Jif or reduced fat. This is the perfect peanut butter for health nuts and pb lovers!

Creativity with Sportswear
This "dress" is actually a Nike Yoga top that I bought this Summer. Since I'm pretty short, the top was too long on me but I really liked the comfy material and didn't want to return it. So, I decided to keep it as a short casual dress! I have worn it out as a dress a few times and people can't believe its Nike Sportswear. I totally like the vibe it gives off... sporty, sexy, simple.

Thankful to Run!
Thanksgiving is one of the biggest race days of the year! There are so many varieties of races that all usually support great causes. There are cross-country style races, traditional road races, beach runs, and even events that award pies to all finishers. Most Thanksgiving Day races are pretty short in distance, like 4 or 5ks and fun runs--- leaving you plenty of time to prepare for dinner afterwards! It’s the perfect way to start your Thanksgiving day--- having fun with family and friends, helping a cause, and burning enough calories to be guilt-free at the dinner table!
This year, my sister and I are doing a Turkey Trot in Uniontown, PA which supports the Salvation Army. Can't wait to start my Turkey day celebration with a Trot!
Fall Running
I love the weather and the colors of fall. The coolness of the air and the warm colors of the leaves set the scene for some amazing Fall running.
