hello friends!!!

I am working at my other job with Raw Threads and we are here in Nashville for the Women’s Running Magazine half marathon. The home of the HEAB!! I get to meet Heather tomorrow, and it is a big reason why I came to this event! Lori and I just love her (sorry sis you could not make it this trip)

Here is what I have been doing thus far on my journey

My favorite item the shrug! I wear it everywhere so soft and comfortable!  a must for me

Now to my eats!! This race/expo is more laid back and has a great work schedule, so today I actually got to eat a lunch :)

My favorite combo – tahini and a banana!! So good

I brought along a very small cutting board and pairing knife! A great way for me to eat avocados and save them by cutting them open when I need them

love it when I open a perfect ripe avocado

Perfect!

Now I am ready to go sell some bamboo athletic clothes!

Ok time for the event to begin: start of day one here we go! wish us luck

Twins Question: What is your favorite thing about races? Do you like going to the expo if they offer one? Have you ever tried bamboo athletic wear before?

Till next time

I love the hoopla surrounding big races. All the excitement of getting ready and everyone cheering. I do attend expos and aside from being crowded, love seeing all the new products. My favorite part is tasting all the bars and gels they have available. It makes it easier to pick out your favorite flavor. I own a wonderful pair of Raw Threads shorts and wear them often. Love, love them.

You look great! I need a tiny cutting board like that for on the go. I kinda have one but it’s horrible to work with. Good luck at the event and have fun meeting Heather.

I’m from Memphis, TN and I love taking the short trip to Nashville.

I’ve never tried bamboo athletic clothing, but most of the clothing I wear now is bamboo. I love that it’s ecofriendly and so so soft. I found this great company out of Canada that makes tailor made bamboo clothes. They just need your measurements. I’ve spent way too much money there!

Hope you had fun there–amazing that you posted from your iPhone again!

I’ve never owned any bamboo clothing but the texture is just to die for.
