SuperCon Fun Run was a SUPER Success

This past Saturday over 2000 superheroes ran through Piedmont Park in the spirit of raising awareness against childhood bullying. I was so proud and honored to be apart of creating this event with one of my best friends, Laura Burchfield.  We were thrilled with the turn out and so thankful to have had the opportunity to partner with The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation.  I wanted to share our success through a few of my favorite pictures and a video produced by Sinless TV.

{OFF} BEAT! – A New Fitness Adventure

I am always in search of the coolest and most unique events.  Atlanta is about to be wowed by the newest exciting fitness adventure.  A few months ago I tried yoga for the first time at Brookhaven Fitness and I was hooked.  The founders of Brookhaven Fitness and a few event gurus are launching an all new fitness experience that will bring adventure to the fitness world with monthly pop up fitness classes at Atlanta’s most unique venues to the beats of the best DJs, taught by local and regional all star trainers.

Jog ‘N Serve April 21

In the land of colorful, supertastic, muddy and glowing fun runs there is a new kid on the block that is serving up a dose of feel good community service combined with a little jogging!

MOTIF8_logo1Jog ‘N Serve, a community service driven fun run is just one of many upcoming events that will be launched by Motif8.  Motif8 is a new community organization that connects like-minded people who seek to prioritize fitness, fellowship, and faith. Motif8 currently is in the beta phase with big plans to launch a website and continue to grow it’s local community through monthly events.

Out of all the hundreds of events that pass through my desk each day I was really intrigued by this concept because it plays on the growing trend of fun runs but mainly aims to help the community.

The Motif8 crew will meet joggers at SafeHouse Outreach @ 10am on 4/21 to build some incredible PB&J and non-grilled cheese sandwiches. Around 11am, they will embark on a jogging journey in downtown Atlanta connecting and serving those that need it.  They have a planned route and anticipate wrapping up around 1pm, with a group lunch right after to refuel and connect.

2 OPTIONS FOR TICKETS:
• $5 gets you registered for the event and helps with paying for food, materials, and SafeHouse Outreach donation.
• $15 gets you a MOTIF8 t-shirt on top of that so you can jog with support ‘n style.

New Years Resolutions Take 2

10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1 Woohoooooo HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Ringing in 2012 a year ago… what was I doing?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ringing in 2013… thats more like it :)

New Years

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This time last year I posted a blog with the list below of the resolutions/goals I promised I was going to accomplish. Well I didn’t exactly keep that promise. Check out my progress report in red.

  1. Improve my overall fitness- I am half way there. I still have not reached my goal but I am determined to meet my ideal fitness level before my wedding. 
  2. Complete at least 2 5k runs- I have not officially entered any 5ks. I have unofficially ran a 5k and planned a 5k Fun Run…. does that count? I am already registered for the 2013 Color Run in April so I am going to make this goal happen. 
  3. Change my eating habits (cut down on the sweets and fatty foods)- eeeee I have a hard time with those darn sweet
    1. Eat 50% more fruits and vegetables - I absolutely have accomplished this goal- YAY
  4. Exceed all my work goals by at least 10% - I have been working my butt off to take market to the next level! 
  5. Publish or be working toward publishing a book- I have not given up this dream! It may not happen this year but it will happen! 
  6. Dedicate more time to non-profit organizations- I am proud of the time I dedicated and events I have planned that contributed funds to various non-profit organizations. 
  7. Mold myself as brand- This is a work in progress. I have increased blog followers (thank you) and twitter followers. 
  8. Help at least one person change their life or put together a plan to reach their goals- I have failed on this one! Still searching for that special person. 
  9. Spend more time outdoors (be adventurous) I am fortunate to have a kick ass job that allows me to do adventurous things! 
  10. Dedicate more time to my family, friends and fur babies- I always want this to be a priority! 

In addition to trying to accomplish the above I have a few more to add to the list: 

  1. Plan an amazing wedding with out going insane and forgetting the real meaning of the day
  2. Survive my trip to Asia
  3. Spend more time with Brennan’s brother
  4. Rid my life of negative energy
  5. Simply be a better person

A little help to make it happen:

  1. Create a list of 3-5 realistic goals
  2. Develop an action plan and timeline for each goal
    1. Think about  your life and how you can alter it to reach your goals one day at a time
  3. Create confidence
    1. Work up to your goals step by step. Be proud of the little steps and don’t get discouraged if you slip up. When you slip up use your confidence to immediately get back on track.
  4. Shout out your resolution
    1. Post it on Facebook/twitter, tell your friends/family.  The more people you tell the more you will feel accountable to keep your resolution
  5. Reward Yourself
    1. Give yourself a reward when you hit a milestone toward your goal (don’t break your diet or skip working out but get yourself a massage or take weekend vacation)
