Three Things Thursday... a day earlier!

i've apparently lost my blogging mojo... so it's time for a list post :)

first things first... brad made my day on saturday. he texted me saying he wanted some trail shoes (shopping for running shoes? don't mind if i do!) because he wants to start running trails with me! color me pumped. i love the trails but i don't love going on them by myself. i'm always trying to trick someone into going with me and looks like brad fell for my schemes! :)


he ended up getting the saucony progrid peregrine... and i got a pair of brooks pure grit :) i've been running trails in the brooks cascadia, but i am pumped to try these beauties out!



on saturday brad, my brother, and i will be heading to charlotte to participate in the spartan sprint! matthew and i did this race last year and it was a blast! but it was also very hard. like push you to your limits hard. i'm nervous... but very glad that brad and matthew will be there to help me :)



oh, and i was selected to be an earthfare ambassador! SUPER pumped about this! brad and i both love earthfare. i picked up my gear last week and i'm excited to wear it for my next race (i didn't wear it saturday because it's not green!).

  1. Congrats Courtney!! Also so exciting that your husband will run trails with you. The thought of you out there by yourself is scary:0 Love that you are running the Spartan run again! I am doing my first mud run in June and am really excited for the challenge:)

  3. After running my last trail race I'm planning a trail related post too! Great minds :)

    I love running the trails with Chad so I was excited for you when you shared about Brad wanting to start running with you. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the shoes.

  4. You're so lucky to have someone to run trails with you now!! I think I might be more jealous over those Pure Grit shoes! I just got my first pair of Brooks ever! Yep, the Pure Cadence and I love them. They cost a fortune but I love them!

  9. I bought my first trail shoes about a month ago and we went out once so far. It was cool but I'm still a little scared to run out on the trails.
    I'm always game for shopping for new running shoes.

  10. Congratulations on being chosen as an Earthfare Ambassador! That's exciting that Brad wants to go trail running with you. Allan has really gotten into that lately and I'm getting faster on the trails so there's hope for me yet!
