Friends and family, I am ecstatic to announce that I have been chosen by the Roanoke Outside Foundation to be an Ambassador for the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge race series. This race series consists of four race distances to choose from which include the 10K, Half, Full Marathon, and Double.
(Pictured below is the famous Roanoke Star that you will see when you reach top of Mill Mountain. You will have the honor of seeing this beauty up close and personal regardless of which course you pick!)
Not only is this popular race known for it’s beautiful scenery, but it is famously known as one of the world’s TOUGHEST Marathons! In an article published on March 22, 2013, this race was ranked as the 8th toughest Marathon because “there is more than 7200 feet of elevation change over 26.2 miles” and it ranked #1 in “The World’s 13 Toughest Half Marathons” in an article which was written on August 24, 2014 by Carissa Liebowitz.

Next year’s race is scheduled forApril 22nd and will offer four (4) race distances– a 10k, half marathon, full marathon, and a double to choose from! Every runner gets **FREE** photos, a finisher medal, farm to feet socks, complimentary beer ticket, and live music at the finish! Folks that register by 3/20/2017 will also get a really cool shirt! (Trust me this WILL become your favorite race shirt!) J
Not every race shirt says, “You Run Hills I RUN MOUNTAINS”, but pictured above is the 2016 shirt that runners received with their 2016 registration fee!
Without question easily one can see why any of the distances offered in this challenging course is a bucket list race for runners everywhere and this is one you should NOT miss!
My goal as an ambassador for the Blue Ridge race series is to answer any questions you have, share my experiences in training and preparations for the upcoming race day, and to run a few contests in order to offer some really cool prizes between now and race day. So stay tuned and get ready to have some fun!!
Also, I have a discount code good for 15% off of this AWESOME race registration fee! Let me know when you are ready for it!!

i found the secret to getting healthy and staying healthy!
Recently I was visiting with my aunt and uncle while out of town for a conference. It was a nice visit as I was able to relax and just chat with them. I love coming from a big family – there is never a dull moment, there’s always so much going on, and plenty to talk about. Just like with any other family, we’ve endured some heart breaks through the years, but at the same time we have been gifted many blessings.
Shortly before I left their home I discovered a little plaque hanging that so intrigued me and being the crazy chick I am I grabbed my battery-drained phone and snapped a photo of it just before the battery gave. I caught my aunt watching me as if to say, “What are you doing?” so I quickly stated, “I love that. It is so neat”. Then my aunt proceeded to tell me the story behind it and in an instant this sentimental gal took an even greater liking to it.
Shortly later we said our “Good-byes” and I was on the road driving the couple of hours home. As I was driving I found myself still thinking about that plaque when all of a sudden it dawned on me the little plaque hanging up in my aunt’s house is the secret to weight loss, the secret to getting healthy – that plaque provides the answer to the success that we all dream of and so I feel I must share it with you! J
So as you’re sitting on the edge of your seat read on so that you can discover the secret to successfully reaching your goal to a healthy weight and lifestyle.
The secret to ultimately setting out for that goal and succeeding this time is YAGOTTAWANNA! That’s it…..
