I HIT THE GROUND RUNNING TODAY!

Yes ma'am, I did hit the ground running today...I ran in a 5k race for the Torrey Pines Institute--Race for Research! I love participating in these 5k events... it gives me a chance to try beat my personal best time! Unfortunately, this morning I did good, but did not beat my personal best that I set for myself years ago back in LaJolla, California. I justified my time this morning by telling myself that I'm getting older...Whatev! I really do feel blessed that I am able to run and hopefully benefit from the cardio workouts!

Luckily, this event was held in my neighorhood, as Torrey Pines is located in the Tradition Village, so I knew the roads...the ones I walk/run everyday! Now, I was a bit disappointed that my friend Stacey wasn't serving Bloody Marys from her front porch...there was only the event-sponsored gatorade stand near her house. Gatorade??? I don't do gatorade!!!

Well anyway y'all..."HERE'S WHAT I WORE"...

It was a chilly 54 degrees outside this morning so a warm-up jacket was in order. I found this cute pink one at Target. The black tee is by Nike and my exercise pants are from Ralph Lauren Polo.
Of course, I had to coordinate my race day look...The 'Pink Pony' cap is by Ralph Lauren Polo and the pink tennis socks are also by Ralph Lauren Polo. I wore my rollring wedding band by Cartier, my pearl stud earrings, my Lilly watch, and my Chanel sunglasses. My running shoes are by Nike and my fanny pack is by Chanel. Yes, I wore a fanny pack!

I always use a Road ID tag...just in case I fall out!
I love this little fanny pack by Chanel. The belt goes around my waist and I let it hang on the side of my waist {not in the back--yuck!} I bought it years ago in the Chanel store in Vegas, I think...maybe Beverly Hills. Anyhoo...these are the items I can't leave home without...even when I'm jogging. Lilly 'Wink' cologne sampler, Pomegranate Oil Lip Balm by Burt's Bees, my Gucci cardholder for ID & debit cards, and my keys--with the cute Lilly shift keychain!

I celebrated finishing the race with breakfast at Bob Evan's. I enjoyed a fabulous meal and had an awesome server! Now, I'm ready to get the weekend started...after a long nap!

Thank y'all for stopping by to visit today and I hope you have a blessed weekend!
