2007 Inaugural Rose Bowl Half Marathon - Race Recap
Date: December 8, 2007
Location: Pasadena, CA
Finish: 2:01:57
I ran the Inaugural Rose Bowl Half Marathons with Sister S and Sister J (aka A Case of the Runs blog). I remember it was cold that morning. I was really hesitant to shed my sweatshirt.
As for the course, there were some interesting parts including some hilly trail parts but for the most part flat and not the most exciting. Not a whole lot of spectators out on the course. I was disappointed that we didn't get to run inside the bowl. Oh well.
Not sure what my hands are doing in this photo.

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Sheer Moisture Lipstick
I have the one in exhibitionist, which is a nude color. When I put it on it is there is not alot of color but lots of shine, plus it is not sticky and feels like a nice lip conditioner. I am really picky about lip glosses since I hate the stickiness and all the bad traits of lipglosses but I love this lipstick. I may go back and get more the next time I am there. There are only 6 colors in the sheer moisture lipstick, but they are very nice wearable colors. They retail for $12 each.

Tea Map and Boscia
I know this blog is mainly suppose to be about tea and tea parties but since my first post, I have not posted anything about teas. So this post is a "tea" post. I actually found this really cool site that list all the tea stores in your area with reviews. I think it's great, shows you where all the top rated tea places are and the reviews are really helpful in determining which tea place to spend your money at because frankly high tea isn't all that cheap...that would explain the "high" part.
Secondly, I would like to talk to Boscia's blotting linens. I think they are great. I think in most photos, I have a shiny forehead to say the least. I don't know why I don't just whip one of these out and take care of the shine. Maybe laziness, maybe carelessness, but I recently started using these again and I loved them. My sister got some for me for Christmas a while back and I use them on and off, mostly for fun to see how much oil I can soak up. Actually, they are great, and I have been way less shiny. I have the one in lavender. They also come in plain, green tea, rose and the one pictured is their new orange one. I hear it smell great.

BRCM Picnic
I hope it was fun for those of you who came. Sure it was no day at the beach but it was not too shabby. Until our next outing...here are some photos.
...and a hot plate...I mean gym bag! Hahaha...
HB to First Cheese
He would rather get cash than any gift you could ever spend hours looking for. He likes to have his birthday meal among chaos....because nothing thrills him like a good deal. He would rather have a not so good cake than to have you drive 10 extra minutes to get a really good one. If you sit through a dinner without a comment from him, it must mean that he is out of town. But we still love him. This post is dedicated to the one we call First Cheese. And we wouldn't have it any other way...well, maybe less grumpy! :)

Stress and Tomatoes
http://www.gaiaherbs.com/product.php?id=66
I was at Wholefoods this past weekend and got some samples of the above herb for stress. I have taken the two pills provided and don't know if I feel any different. But I haven't died from them so I guess that is good.
I would like to also take this time to say how much I love heirloom tomatoes. I think they are visually appealing and they taste out of this world. I have lots of issues with regular tomotoes because I find them tasteless. I love tomatoes and would eat just about any but these are at the top of the tomato food chain.

Running Shoes and Purses
Check out this pair of running shoes that I've been eyeing. I currently have a pair of Brooks Adrenaline but was thinking of getting a new pair and I am tore between the upgraded Adrenaline and the Trance. Still many months until the big run so I have time to think this over. So preetty!
Trance™ 7 (42211)
Runner's World awarded the Trance™ 7 its coveted "Editor's Choice" award in its Fall 2007 Shoe Review.
Nothing is spared in the Trance™ 7. It’s a captivating combination of Brooks’ best technologies, most luxurious materials, and stepped-up styling. The incredible cushioning of our full-length MoGo midsole and smooth stability of the PDRB® (Progressive Diagonal Roll Bar) only hint at its wealth of features. From sockliner to heel counter, no detail is overlooked and no indulgence is excluded. Price: $135.00

I've also been lusting after these two things. Hey a person can dream! :D
Strawberry Yogurt
Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt is so yummy that I am dedicating this post to it. I've had one two days in a row now. Here is a link to a yummy looking cake using this yogurt.

2007 LA Marathon - Race Recap
Date: March 4, 2007
Location: Universal City to Downtown LA
Finish: 6:09:03
Commentary (2/8/2011): Wow, this race was so long ago, I can't even remember any details really. Only that I didn't train at all for this race and ran my worse marathon time ever to date. I only have photos here folks, sorry! Oh wait, this was the first year they switch the course that ran from Universal City to Downtown LA. You had to park at Downtown LA and take the 30 minute ride on a subway to Universal City and run back.
I remember running past this shop.
Noticed the Icy Hot leg sleeves. I don't even know why I had them on except for the fact that I worried that I would get a leg cramp due to lack of training. Which I did end up getting and that is what happens when you don't train and then go and run a marathon. Lesson learned!
The old LA Marathon medals were just so great! They are still my favorite despite all the medals I have. I wish someone would bring back that look.
