CrossFit

Here's a great article on CrossFit for female runners. I can definitely say that I have improved my room and my knee is not in nearly the amount of pain it used to be. CrossFit for Female Runners

Distracted..

So, I got on here to talk about one thing...and then I got side tracked post on the Dirt In Your Skirt forum. *sigh* Go check out what we're talking about here! 

Team in Training

I probably haven't discussed my participation with Team in Training as much as I need to...I run my 3rd race as a TnT participant on October 14th.  I managed to fund-raise the entire amount for that race in only a mere three weeks. Since I did so well at that, I decided to sign up with TnT again for the Louisiana Half Marathon on January 20th. I haven't been fundraising as much.  But I do have a Painting for a Purpose party in November and my Saints football pool is still kicking. So I wanted to share with you my Team in Training fund-raising site in hopes that you will check it out and share it with everyone you know.  Sometimes you never know who's lives have been touched with cancer and you can get some pretty amazing stories just by sharing my site. Thanks so much!

Confirmation Emails.

I really love some of the creative ways businesses send confirmation emails. Here's one I just received from Ript.

Thank you for placing your order with RIPT Skin Systems!

This email is to confirm your recent order and to let you know that we have dispatched a small expedition team of world class explorers who have been air dropped over a remote section of the Amazon jungle.

The expedition team will carefully select and harvest plants to press the essential oils that we use in every RIPT kit, by hand, ensuring their sustainability so that others may enjoy RIPT for years to come. After having the oils blessed by a local shaman, the team will hike 57 miles to their LZ, fly back to Canada, and hand deliver the oils to our master chemists who will add them with nano precision to your tubes of QUICK FIX and DAILY DOSE.

After being inspected by 47 members of our quality control team, all recruited and required to have 20/10 vision, your order will be packaged by an ex-origami world champion (specializing in paper crane) and given it's own seat on the RIPT company jet to be delivered to your door.

We have held a moment of silence as we do for every RIPT kit that leaves us and have decided to name you "Customer of the Day" for 09/29/2012.

Just so you're up to date, here's where we sent the jet...

And here is my conformation of shipment:

Dear supremely awesome customer kimberly krapcha,

It is our pleasure to inform you that all of the items from order #1834 have been placed on a satin pillow, under a glass case, and comfortably buckled in to a seat on our private jet.

So now, go check them out Ript.
