Fun new Race Bib Placard

My poor neglected blog!!!! I must do better at posting.
There has just been so much going on already this year. 
It will be a BIG, HUGE Year for my family....one with 
many many new adventures and changes. Gradually I hope to be
able to elaborate on all of it. But for now...most of it is under wraps! 

However, yesterday I hit a milestone in life...
I turned 40! But I must say 40 is going to be fabulous
for me for so many reasons. I am finding that by 40 
you really have a better understanding of who you are
and truely no longer worry about how others deal with who you are.
This is so very freeing and fabulous! So as for me, well I love 40 already.
 My most incredible and wonderful sister made me a placard
to hold my running race bibs. It is going to be a big race year for me, and
I will definitely get a lot of use out of this.

 Last year I ran the Color Run in Birmingham, AL and loved it....even though it was
pouring rain the whole, entire time!
My plan is to every year pick a new place to run the Color Run...
This year it will be either Boise, Idaho or Salt Lake City, Utah.

Just an upclose without any race bibs displayed.
I love the detail, and the decorative hooks!

 Last week I receive my packet for my next race.....
This is quite possible my most favorite race packet to receive! 
And I love the colorful race bib...with my name on it.
My husband will also be running this race with me, and we are looking 
forward to this one a lot. He has gradually started becoming more of a runner
with me, and it is wonderful.

I have been doing a little sewing ...
And this is the BEST armband ever! I love it.
The pattern is from Sew Spoiled, and it is really a great pattern.
I have an Iphone with a lifeproof case on it and was able to adjust the pattern 
so it fits perfectly. I had started looking at purchasing an arm band and the lifeproof band that
goes with my case wasn't getting good longterm use reviews.
This is so perfect, and so far I love it. 

Phone fits perfectly, and I can easily get it out while running if I need to. 
The front pocket is great for some ID or cash if I need.
When not in use I just store my earbuds in it...so they are always ready
for a run. 

It is great to run hands free now and keep Pandora playing and the 
GPS running app going. 


And when I am not running or sewing we find fun places outdoors
to go explore! And now I have a fun photo theme.....to plank everywhere I go.
Why you ask??? Because I can and it is fun and will make a great photo album.
