One of my favorite ways to celebrate my birthday every year is to do a triathlon {most people think I'm a lil crazy!} . The past several years I have done the Deschutes Dash in Bend:
Rockin the birthday shades {if you look closely, you'll see I still have my sunglasses on underneath from the bike, oops!}
Well, I couldn't be more excited to celebrate my birthday {2 days later}, with 12 bloggers from the PNW, as we run the RAGNAR Northwest Passage with Team NUUN {Not only my FAVORITE electrolyte drink, but also a truly amazing company, with what appears to be even more amazing employees! I can't wait to meet all of them!}
On May 3rd, I received an email from Mason {Chief Hydration Officer for NUUN...umm I want a title like that!} with the subject of Come Run With Nuun. I don't want you to think I'm totally weird, but I kind of freaked out a lil {OK, maybe a lot!}. I can't think of a better privilege, opportunity, honor, experience, etc than to run my heart out for NUUN, spread the NUUN love, & have a blast while making 11 new friends {and hopefully many more throughout our 190 mile adventure}!!!
Here are the 9 other bloggers that I am so excited to have as teammates {soon to be friends!}:
