Exciting Announcements!

So many exciting things going on in Live Free And Run land!



First, as a member of Team Nuun....I am being given the opportunity to run the Ragnar Wasatch Back in Utah.  Go #TeamNuun




I am runner 9 in Van #2.  My legs:
7.60 miles | Very Hard       9.00 miles | Very Hard      4.10 miles | Moderate    Total Miles:20.7 miles

Very excited and nervous!  I have a pretty long leg and very difficult elevation profile.  I am hoping that this will make Marine Corps Marathon seem easy!  Have you done a Ragnar before?  Any tips to share with this Ragnar Virgin?  

I was chosen as an ambassador for The North Face #TNFlocal.  They are sponsoring November Project style workouts right here in DC!  Come join us!  


I was also chosen again as a Women's Health Action Hero for 2015.  I am excited to run the Run 10 Feed 10 again and support this amazing cause.  




I am will the at the RRCA Run Coach Training all weekend and will come back as a certified running coach.  Wahoo!  


In 8 days we head up to Boston for the Boston Marathon!  I will be running the 5k and the hubby the full!  We will both get to cross this very special finish line!  



As a celebration of the exciting things....I am giving away a FEED foundation bag and lots of goodies!

  1. All the exciting things! I'm a WH Action Hero again and am trying to make the NYC run10 event this year. I'm SO jealous you are running Ragnar with Nuun-I couldn't make it work financially this year, boo. I ran the BAA 5K last year, it was awesome! Congrats on all the great news!

  2. Congrats on all these awesome things! I would say for Ragnar remember to eat and hydrate, bring face wipes/cleansing wipes incase there are no showers around so you don't have to be too sweaty in the van, over packing for all sorts of weather is wise, you probably won't get any sleep so be prepared, but most of all have fun!!! Good luck!

  4. Congrats on so many great opportunities Colleen. It sounds like your Ragnar Utah adventure will have you prepared for MCM this fall. I'm packing/organizing now for my trip to Boston next week. So excited to run both the 5k (easy, easy easy) and then the Marathon. It will be a fabulous weekend.

  24. After following you on IG I thought I would stop by your blog and say hello! Congrats on all of your ambassadorships! I ran Ragnar DC last fall and loved it; and will be running Ragnar Appalachians in three weeks. Ragnar Wasatch sounds wonderful! My hubby and I lived in Logan, Utah years ago while in grad school, and we keep saying we'll go back and run a race there someday (I think the altitude would be tough on me though). Anyway, Ragnar will be quite the experience and I'm sure you'll love it, too! Good luck and have fun! :-)
