Wow. What can I say about the AfterNuun Delight team. 10 women bloggers. 2 Nuun staffers. All amazingly fun and athletically talented. I was so nervous about about being the one that slowed down the team, but every single person just wanted everyone else to run their very best—whatever that was. Even though you’re on […]

Having run a relay before, I knew how important flashy running attire is to the overall race experience. That’s why I was thrilled when our team, AfterNuun Delight, agreed to wear Sparkle Athletic running skirts. They are definitely the best thing for a team to wear for a relay race. Not only are they fun, […]

When it comes to preparing for a relay race, decorating the vans is super important (at least in my book). Nuun hooked us up with big, white, 12 person vans – a beautiful, blank canvas for our “tie-dyed” psychedelic art to go along with our team name, AfterNuun Delight (which BTW, is a funny but […]

My Nuun team’s official start time is 12:30pm Friday afternoon. I’ll be wearing a purple Team Sparkle skirt (because grape nuun is my favorite flavor). I’m hoping my experience at the Over the Hump Moutain Bike races, inhaling dusty air from 500 bikers while climbing steep hills will be enough to get me through the […]

I can’t believe it’s almost here. During these last few weeks, I put together a little logo for our team (based on the chosen team name), brainstormed van decorating ideas and gotten to know my teammates. I’ve also learned I’m the shortest girl of the group. Sometimes I forget how short I really am. I […]

Two weeks ago, I tore a chunk out of the top of my toe while running barefoot up cement stairs. It’s a “stubbed toe” to the 100th degree. After a week and a half of wearing only flip flops (because having anything touching that raw toe felt like a knife going up my leg), I […]

Each year we convince a few more family members to join our 11 mile mountain bike ride. Learning to conquer the switchbacks, steps and rock gardens make it fun. Watching the young, inexperienced, teenage boys ride over their head and consequently crash make it even funner. The next day, the largest group to date made […]

This is the third year I’ve run the Fourth of July (almost) 5K sponsored by my church. Two years ago, I was just getting into running and was thrilled with my 2nd place division finish in 24:30. Last year, I ran the race pregnant which is why it was so fun seeing my friend, Elise […]

When I heard Nuun (my favorite electrolyte drink company)was putting together an all female, all blogger team for the Hood to Coast relay event in August, I knew I had to put my name into the hat. I got my first taste of team relay running at the relay last year with the ladies of […]

Didn’t run this one, but we woke up early, staked out a spot on the route (with a gorgeous ocean view) and cheered on the racers which, as I’ve said before, is almost as awesome as being in the race.If it looks like runners wearing Sparkle athletic sparkle running skirts are having the most fun, […]
