Winner!

And my Valentine's Day Giveaway winner is...

Sarah
from Junk Miles!!

(Randomly generated by Random.org!)
Congratulations Sarah! I'll be emailing you your prize tonight! :-)

I was really touched by all your stories and comments. Thank you for participating and I thank you (again) for reading my blog!

So, the last few weeks have been filled with work travel to Portland (every week), planning for my sister's baby shower and running. Lots of running. Yes, 5 more days until Napa Valley Marathon! I'm excited about this race. It's the first time I'm running this race and well, excited about the gourmet soup and wine at the finish line. Of course, so many of my Twitter pals are also running the race, which is really exciting. As well as my ROHO crew is making a special trip just for me to cheer/spectate. I am one lucky chick!

Speaking of ROHOS... we have our first ROHO giveaway!! So go enter please! :-)

Yes, I'm in taper mode and excessively carbo loading.

(And yes, my sister's baby shower turned out beautifully!! I might post about it later this week.)

    You are going to kick ass in Napa! I wish I could be there to spectate. Instead, I'll be here at the meetup helping you carbo load =).

    Hopefully you'll be doing a PDX race in the near future. I'm doing both the Shamrock and the Race for the Roses 1/2 marathon. (Hoping for a 1/2 PR by then!)

    So I just saw your Twitter page and who the heck are all these people that you are following? And who are all these people following you?

    Fascinating! I'm there just as a lurker... I don't have any updates but somehow I have a handful of followers as well.
