Give Kids The World Village

March 2, 2015

This past February, when I went to Florida for the Princess Glass Slipper Challenge, I went to visit the Give Kids The World Village. I went to the village to drop off donations of autograph books and photograph books and toys for the children.  I’d like to make this a regular event of mine when I head down to Florida for my races.

I saw a few families while I was there and it made me feel extremely grateful that my healthy children.  I want to give back for the blessings that I have received.  I have a lot to be thankful for and I want to give.  Giving to others gives me a good feeling.  While that may be selfish, I think it is a good selfish.

My running Team, the Mickey Milers raises money for Give Kids The World and I also use my commissions from selling Jamberry nail wraps towards donations for Give Kids The World.

If you would like to host a party to give donations towards GKTW, please feel free to contact me at pamela.frost@comcast.net.  If you would like to donate please click the donate button on my blog of visit http://support.gktw.org/site/TR/Events/General?fr_id=1040&pg=pfind.  Thank you!

One Word Resolution

December 26, 2014

I have spoken of this often, I listen to The Two Gomers Run For Their Lives pod cast and each year they come up with a word for their New Year’s resolution.  I don’t make resolutions, but I liked the concept of applying one word to my year.  Last year the word Grow came to me when I was out on a run.  It was a very appropriate word for me for 2014.  I have changed in many ways.  I left a company I was with for 24 years and started a new job.  This job requires that I travel more than the 2 mile commute that I used to have, I am out of the house 5 days per week and I am teach people and interfacing with several people.  I love the job.  It wasn’t that difficult of a decision for me to take the job.  I needed to grow.  I was feeling stuck where I was working. My old job wasn’t making me happy.  The moral at the company was in the toilet, people were miserable and I was feeling miserable with them.  I took a risk, changed a few words in my resume and the job came to me!

As I reflect on my 2014 over the next week, I am thinking of a word that I can apply to my life next year.  Grow is still pretty important to me because with my new job I am growing with all of the new things I am learning; but I need a new word.  Something to represent what I want to do for myself next year in my career, family, running and personal life.  I also want to find more success in my Jamberry business.  When I started it last year I had no specific goals, except to keep afloat and not to fail.  It is a fun business with cute nail wraps, but I have met so many awesome people who are also runDisney friends and also Mikey Milers!  What another great way to network and meet new people!  I want to find a specific goal and set it this year.

Do you make resolutions?  Do you do a one word resolution?  Share with me!

Hmmmm some words that I picked up on while writing this post were “network” “success” “interface” “risk”.  I’ll have to chew on those for a bit!

Runner’s Holiday Gift Ideas

December 23, 2014

Yes it is just two days before Christmas, but if you are like me you may be behind on your shopping this year and need some last-minute ideas for someone!  Well I have a few ideas for you that you can click a few clicks on your mouse and print out a page or two and you will be covered for this Christmas!  I love getting new running gear.  I especially love getting it as a gift!  Here are a few great ideas for your runner in your life  Some items that I’d love to receive for Christmas or possibly something you’d like to give to your runners are:

Entry into a runDisney race.  You can give a non-Disney Gift card, like a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard for any monetary value and the runner can use that when registering for their runDisney race of choice.  Then for the Expo you can give your runner a Disney Gift card to use for the official runDisney merchandise, food during the racecation or even towards the hotel room.  If you shop with your red card at Target you can save 5% on the purchase of your Disney Gift Card, too!

An Airline gift certificate.  I’d love to get some free Southwest credit to use towards my races!

Entry into a virtual race or an actual race.  I was planning on going to the Jeff Galloway’s Inaugural 13.1 race in Atlanta this year, but due to some circumstances at home, I had to put that race on hold this year.  However, I can participate in the virtual race and will still receive my medal!  Click here for more details.

Jeff Galloway also offers race retreats.  Why not take a little retreat somewhere to relax AND run and learn with Jeff and Barbara Galloway?!

raceshrugI recently purchased a great new piece of clothing to add to my gear.  A fly shrug.  It was perfect for the Wine and Dine half marathon (race recap coming soon!).  It was a rainy race and I wasn’t sure how the weather was going to be in regards to temperature.  So this was perfect in case I needed to take it off to cool off.  I also used it for the Philadelphia marathon and again it was a perfect addition on a cold morning in addition to my short sleeve shirt and arm sleeves.

Fleece lined running tights are awesome for the winter.  I love mine!  I was lucky enough to find some at Target and at Kohls for a rather inexpensive price.

iTunes gift cards are a perfect stocking stuffer to add music to the runner’s playlists or to download special running apps.  You can purchase the gift card online, print it out or even email it to your runner recipient.

If you have time to get to a store, find your runner the Garmin 220 is amazing. I love mine! It is everything I needed for my first Garmin watch. Now that I am doing some treadmill training I do need to invest in the show pod to help me keep track of mileage while running indoors.

fitbitFitbit.  I don’t have one (yet).  I am hoping I get one for Christmas!  I want the FitBit One because I don’t want to wear a wristband all the time to keep track of my steps and activity.  Target and Kohls has these items, most stores sell them, actually.  So get out there and get one for your runner!  They will love it.  Runners enjoy stats and monitoring their progress.  You can use this in addition to your Garmin to see your total activity for a day, PLUS you can see how well you sleep at night, too!

Runners Box.  Don’t you love getting free stuff in the mail?!  Well you can (sort of).  If someone purchases a runners box subscription for you, you will receive a new box in the mail every few weeks with different runner items to try out.  The prices range between $21 – $30 for a bi-monthly to yearly subscription.  You can purchase a one time gift box or a yearly subscription. What a great idea!  The gift that keeps on giving!  I will be mentioning this to my husband today in case he needs any last-minute ideas.  Thank you to the Mickey Miles Podcast for mentioning it in their holiday gift guide pod cast (episode 225).

#OmbrePolkaJN #VenusJN #RaspberrySparkleJNLast but not least, if your runner likes to wear costumes for their races, you can add an accessory to their costume with a Jamberry gift card.  You can give them a gift card so they can purchase custom Disney wraps to use with their costumes or even just to purchase the stock nail wraps that come in hundreds of different designs!  Check them out on my site at http://pamfrost.jamberrynails.net.  Or like my Facebook page to see the Disney designs. You can purchase a gift card and print it out immediately to stuff in the runner’s stocking.  Can’t go wrong with that!

Happy Holidays!

Dumbo Double Dare and Jamberry Wraps

August 9, 2014

Summer is quickly closing in on us.  The night time air is cooling down and the days are getting shorter.  Dumbo Double Dare is less than 20 days away!  I haven’t been posting as much on my blog lately because I have been living as much as I could outside of the computer world and trying to keep the #Epicsummer2014 going strong.

However, as Dumbo is now less than 20 days away I needed to get my act together to get my race costume together.  I came to hook up with Jamberry nails and am now hosting a party with a specific approach to the runDisney Dumbo Double Dare weeekend and the wraps that are available for that weekend.

What are Jamberry nails?  They are one of the newest trends in nail accessories.  They are vinyl nail wraps in hundreds of colors and designs to help make a manicure last as long as 2 weeks.

How does this relate to Dumbo Double Dare you ask?  Well let me tell you.  I don’t remember exactly how it came to be, but my consultant that I am working with to host my party showed me some Minnie Mouse ideas and I said wow, cute!  How about Dumbo?  Do you have anything with a Dumbo theme that I can use as an accessory to my race costume.  Well after some hunting around Jennifer Frank found me some Dumbo wraps.

Well I couldn’t keep this secret to myself.  I had to share it and enable all of my other runDisney freaks, I mean, friends to spend their money on things for their race costumes!

Jennifer also found Lilo and Stitch themed wraps to go along with the 10K theme of the weekend.

I haven’t tried them yet. I am waiting for my first order to come in, but I can’t wait. I heard many good things about the Jamberry wraps. What a brilliant idea. You can purchase pre-made designs or design your own with the online art studio.

I’d love to host future parties prior to the runDisney races to gather up more interest if the Jamberry wraps. Who knows, maybe I’ll become a consultant in my “free time”.

If you want to attend my Facebook party please follow this link https://www.facebook.com/events/913917818623841/.  If for some reason it doesn’t work, email me at pamela.frost@comcast.net and I’ll hook you up to join the event.
