In about 3 weeks I’ll be running the Big Sur Half Marathon with my dear friend Natalie. We are in training right now and things are going pretty well. I had a bit of a scare a couple of weeks ago when I accidentally ran 12.5 miles (I didn’t know how far I had gone until I got home and logged on to www.mapmyrun.com). I had chest pain for 3 days after the run, so finally I had to give in and visit the doctor to get an EKG. I was given the all clear, but was a bit scared to run again – especially after reading about the runners that died during last weekend’s Detroit Marathon. I’ve spent some time reading up on it this week and I think I will be fine if I hydrate a little better than I have been.

Anyway, on a happier note, my long play list for the run is coming together. I’ve got 3 current favorites: M.I.A – Paper Planes, Black Eyed Peas – Meet Me Halfway and surprisingly in at #1 Miley Cyrus (cringe) – The Climb.

I’m looking for suggestions, so if you have any please send them to me!

I’m also debating whether to run with my iphone (so I can take pictures along the way – I am fully aware of how ridiculous that sounds, but its soooo beautiful) or if I should just take my shuffle…it’s a tough one!

A few weeks ago Ronnie and I met with Leslie S. Barber from Belly Bars (Nutra Bella). We’ve known each other for a while now – running into her and her business partner Meredith at various trade shows and such. It’s always nice to meet up with fellow entrepreneurs – sharing stories about how we got started – some funny, some unbelievable!
One of my good friends is very pregnant right now, so Leslie very kindly gave me some of their products so that I could pass them on to her. I’d like to say that they all made it safely to my friend, but something about the lovely packaging and the fact that they are healthy and delicious…well…in my defense, Belly Bar products are made for before, during and after pregnancy…I wonder if six years later counts??
Later this month we will be giving all of our online customers a chance to try the ‘Baby Needs Chocolate’ Belly Bar in our ‘No Tricks, Just Treats’ promotion. Stay tuned!

I recently read this article Fabric Patterns Tell on You and I started thinking about what my choice in fabrics would say about me. Everyday this week I’ve worn solid prints, not a polka dot or flower in sight – apparently then, I am full of mystery and give nothing away…however I spend my days thinking of all manner of prints and colors and so maybe, just maybe, I am a mixture of all of the descriptions… but then, aren’t we all? I think it would be more true to say that our clothing choices in the morning are a representation of our mood on that particular day.

Tomorrow I might be feeling more like this:

With jeans and these cute boots
