2014 New Years Resolutions

With 2014 already a couple days in, I have seriously been pondering what my New Years Resolution (aka
NYR) should be. This has been a toughie for me. But two nights ago when I met up with my favorite group of runners to start off the new year right with a run (well tapering for me.) I finally came up with my NYR!

I will need a drum roll please...…..

That's right! I want to run 1000 miles in 2014. Yes I am NUTS. But, by days end 1/12 I will have already 62.1 miles in! This should be a breeze….. I hope! But this isn't my only NYR for 2014 here are some other ones!

Being a better Blogger: I want to be myself but also like the women who inspired me to be a blogger. They have so much passion and love for what they do. I want that! This will def be a work in progress.

Design more: One thing a lot of people don't know is I LOVE design work. I love designing party invitations, cards, event programs. You name it I can do it. I have done some Christmas card work this past year for friends and family but here is our Christmas Card from this past year that I designed.

Be a better Puppy Mommy, Girlfriend, Sister and Daughter: My family means the world to me. So I want to be able to give them the time they deserve.

Learn more about photography: My mom bought me this Christmas a Canon Rebel SL1. I basically started crying when I opened it. I take a lot of pictures for my company for events etc. But I want to learn about lighting and the proper technique.

Of course NYR take time and practice, but fingers crossed these things can happen! Happy 2014! I will update you all in June on how all of this is going!

Until next time everyone! 

What are some of your New Years Resolutions? 

Fit 4 Fun Thursdays!

First off I want to give a shout out to everyone who got in to the Disneyland Half Meet-up! If you where like me, no work got done yesterday at my office because of this stalking that went down on runDisney twitter page and the Disney Park blogs. I just shut the door to my office yesterday and pretended like I wasn't in the office! I sadly did not get picked this time. I am totally batting ZERO for every races I've done at Disney. I am holding out hope for WDW Marathon Weekend in January.

Now to today's post! 

I love Wednesday nights. You may be thinking "Why Kylee? Why do you LOVE Wednesday nights?" Because its Fit2Run Fun 5k night! Our local Fit2Run store has a Fun 5k every Wednesday night. It's a great night for runners of all ages to get together and run. Plus some awesome things happen during it!

Like last two weeks. We had an AMAZING opportunity as runners to test run in some new Nike and Saucony shoes. How awesome is that! I never met an more down to earth group of runners that are really there because they love the sport.

So two weeks ago I was lucky enough to test run a pair of Saucony shoes. I honestly had never heard of the company, but I know I have seen their brightly colored shoes before. We did our normal 5k run, then the fun began. I had a chance to win a FREE pair of Saucony shoes! My mouth dropped. One thing you must know about me is I LOVE FREE STUFF. I love free stuff so much that sometimes Chris and I go to Costco for one thing, and we end up staying for an hour because I want to sample all the free samples!

Fast forward a half hour of balancing a running shoe on my head, I came out VICTORIOUS! I bet out about 20+ people for a pair of running shoes. I was on cloud nine! Chris literally didn't believe, he said I probably bought them. Until he saw the pictures.

 Last week I got to test out the new Nike Flyknit Free Runs. I have become obsessed with this shoes. And I may or may not have a new pair in my closet! But if your looking for new light weight running shoes to do short training runs or 5k's this is the perfect shoe. I wouldn't do more than a 5k in these though.

I spend more money on running shoes than anything else. I find it hilarious that I will buy running shoes full price, but refuse to but heels unless they are on sale. 

Until next time everyone! 

QOTD: How many pairs of running shoes do you own? What is your favorite brand/type?
