My First Post-Baby Half & A Race Discount Code!

Yes, yes – you read that title right. I’m sitting here at 38 weeks, 3 days pregnant and talking about post-baby running plans. I swear I’m not crazy… just really looking forward to running and racing again!

Before I got pregnant Henri and I had had multiple conversations about my racing, and where my efforts would be better focused. We officially put the marathon on the back burner for a few years and decided that after baby makes her appearance it’ll be all about the 5Ks-half marathon – running fast and hitting some PRs! 

I want to give myself plenty of time to ease back into training and doing some speedwork before I push anything over the 10K distance so a few weeks ago I started looking for a winter half marathon to set as my first “official” post-baby goal race.

After considering a lot of great races I decided on the Surf City Half Marathon in Huntington Beach, CA on 2/5/2017!

It’s a great local race that is part of the Beach Cities Challenge in Southern California that also includes the Orange County and Long Beach Marathons/Half Marathons. I think I just may go for the Beach Cities Medal (run the half marathon at each of those 3 events) in 2017!

I am so excited about committing to my first half post-baby and even more excited that I will be representing the race as a Surf City Marathon/Half Marathon Ambassador! I’ll be sure to share more about the race and why it rocks over the next 6 months but for now I wanted to share the news AND tell you that you can get 10% off race registration with the code SCMFLORIS10.

Click here for early registration (only open for a limited time) – while the marathon is $109 and the half marathon is $99 before discount code.

Hope to see some of you out there in February! I can’t wait!
