Good morning!!! As this post publishes, I’m well on my way to Savannah. Woo, baby! I so look forward to not only running my first big race and seeing some amazing blog friends, but also to have a weekend away with Peter sans kiddos. That’s right! We’re kid free this weekend and treating it as a little getaway.

Thanks to some wonderful parents who scoop up the chance to stay with their beloved grandchildren for a few days.

Last night, my parents came to our house hauling their suitcases to act as our heroes and babysitters for the weekend. I made sure to give them special treatment by preparing a delicious dinner for us all to share.

I made a large batch of whole wheat penne pasta with some broccoli, mushrooms, and onion topped with marinara sauce. I always love adding extra veggies to help bulk up a pasta dish.

I also bulked up the meal with some ready made items for sides – some garlic Texas toast and a lite Caesar salad bagged mix.

I break out the big guns for guests, huh? Hey, I did say “delicious”, not “difficult”!

And delicious it was. The perfect meal to eat for race fuel-ups. #readytorunalready

• What’s a meal you like to make for guests?
• Any exciting weekend plans?

A couple of months ago, a girl had a giveaway.

Her blog friends leaped for joy.

The products were more than just okay,

but too bad it left out all the boys.

This girl knew the desire of quality support

when running and working out.

All tatas need the TLC of the sort

Champion USA knows all about.

So when offered the chance to review a few more

and another giveaway to share,

she quickly agreed for the bras she adored

to uplift the gals of two readers with care.

Yes, there will be TWO winners this time.

Each to win TWO sports bras of her choice.

Isn’t it grand? It even makes Tina rhyme.

And I’m done now, so you can rejoice.

What’s up for grabs??

Your choice of TWO of the following Champion Sports Bras.

• Absolute Workout Sports Bra (a medium support bra)
• Scoop Back Full Figure Underwire Support Sports Bra (a high support bra)
• Seemless Reversible Sports Bra (medium support)
• Sport Comfort Full Support Sports Bra (high support)

They all have great support, quality wicking material, mesh panels for breathability, nice designs/colors, and a comfortable fit. You get to choose TWO bras – any size, color, etc. So you can go with two different styles or two of your preference!
