What I Wore Today: Las Vegas National Sales Meeting Day #1

Today is the first day of our National Sales Meeting at The Aria Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas. It has been a crazy 72 hours filled with a long Friday work day, Brooklyn Half Marathon Saturday, flying out to Las Vegas and then getting everything set up for our National Sales Meeting. I am on the planning committee and therefore will be one of the “go to people” this week and want to ensure that my first impression today is a good one! Therefore, I chose a fun outfit that speaks to my personality for the first day of meeting chaos! All of the items shown are currently available as I purchased them this past week! Enjoy! I promise i’ll be back later with a Brooklyn Half recap and a Mermaid Inn review! Until then, head over to Katie’s site to get an idea of what my half experience was like. 🙂

Zebra chiffon dress from White House Black Market. This is super slimming, comfortable, and a work appropriate length even if you’re tall!

These earrings are a perfect silver earring that is large enough to make a statement but small enough to be comfortable and tasteful. These are on sale right now at White House Black Market by clicking here

Stuart Weitzman "Platswoon" Pumps

Lust! I finally bought an amazing pair of black pumps! These Stuart Weitzman Platswoon pumps feature a .5 platform and 4 inch heel! They were part of the sale at Bloomingdales last week when they were giving $50 off for every $150 spent! Cha Ching! 🙂 We’ll test their comfort level today during the meeting but they look AMAZING! I love the platorm on the base.

Brooklyn Half Here I Come

The packet has been picked up, the alarm is set for 4:50, a perfect protein and carb sushi dinner is digesting, and my clothes are all laid out!

I’m nervous and excited. I’ve worked on speed quite a bit lately but the stress of 60 hour work weeks is grueling. My improved eating, vitamins, and water HAVE definitely helped this week. But what if my body is tired tomorrow and I can’t beat last years time? At the end of the day, after brief disappointment, I’ll get over it and be proud of just getting out there and running 13.1 miles.

In fact, I have some unlikely inspiation. My friend Becca decided TODAY to do the half even though she hasn’t run this sort of distance since last years NYC half. She’s got the right idea! It’s all about enjoying the sights, getting some sun, and enjoying great exercise.

I’m hitting the sack with dreams of three goals: smile like Dori all through the race, finish, and have fun!

PS I get to try my CamelBak tomorrow!!

NYRR YPC National Running Day Celebration

Did you catch last night’s post about the emotional side of long runs?  I’ve received some warm emails, tweets, and comments about this post and it’s so exciting. Last night I felt like my fingers took over. 🙂

Today I read about the National Running Day Celebration on Jesse’s blog!  The NYRR National Running Day Celebration is on June 2nd, 2010. I think this could be a great chance for a few of us NYC bloggers to hang out also enjoying a great run, fun people, and donating money to a great cause.

The event begins at 6:30pm on June 2nd at 81st street in Central Park. The fun starts with a fun run through the Park followed by a social at the Gin Mill complete with appetizers, raffle, and cash bar. Tickets are $20 and all proceeds go towards the NYRR Youth Programs which benefit over 100,000 underserved children weekly!

NYRR Invite

Let me know if you’re interested in participating in this event! I’ll send an email around to everyone this weekend who is interested and we can all meet up before hand!
