Weekly Roundup 2.1-2.7

Happy Super Bowl Week!  I love running but I LIVE for football Sundays!  Super Bowl 50 proved that defenses win championships.  I have always been a bit of a Peyton Manning fan but I was really pulling for Carolina.  Cam Newton is just so fun to watch!

The highlight of the night: Lady G & Queen Bey.  SO GOOD! 

The low point: The Marshawn Lynch tweet.  Did Beast Mode really retire?!!!

Omg!  Big news last week that I forgot to mention!  My cousin Michele signed up for her 2nd half marathon, the Buffalo Half Marathon!  After running in Houston, Michele had 2 options:

1.     Hate running and never want to run ever again.

-or-

2.     Catch the running bug and become motivated to see how well she could do if she followed through on her training.

Running is contagious, my friends!  I keep saying that!  I also found out my cousin Melissa’s friend Ali signed up!  (Melissa registered before I did.)  Join us for 13.1 miles (or 26.2 miles!) through my favorite city on May 29th & use discount code BRSkiba05 for $5 off registration!

This past week I also made the big jump and turned Garmin!  I’ve been a loyal Nike+ GPS watch wearer but Nike no longer makes them :( and mine is slowly dying.  I was so indecisive about what to buy and I owe a BIG thank you to Dave at Marathon Sports Mashpee for helping me out.  I’m excited to use the next couple weeks to play around with my new Garmin Forerunner 230 and figure out all the settings before Buffalo Half training begins on March 7th!

My Friday icy run with Georgie was short & slow but the snowy views were breathtaking!

Upcoming events:
