It’s no secret I love me some orange. Before July sneaks away here’s a salute to the stuff I’m loving this month:
Zensah Calf Sleeves. I’ve lusted for these for a loooong time. I finally pulled the trigger at the RnR Chi expo. Love!
Accelerade Slushies. You all know how hot it’s been. The trails as early as possible + a cooler loaded with frozen orange Accelerade have been my saviors. I can’t tell you how divine it is to loop back to the car and have slushy Accelerade for those last sweltering miles. A frozen bottle in the bra is refreshing in its own way, just saying.
Bright Shorts! In civilian clothes I’m a master of tired khaki/tan and other totally forgettable neutrals. This eye popping shade really shakes things up. Everybody needs some highlighter-colored clothing right?
Train Like a Mother. The authors were my running idols since the beginning of time. I read every word of their training and marathon exploits in Runners World back in the day when 2 miles was about all I could manage. There’s a training plan in it for pretty much every goal. It’s a fun, easy yet informative read, best done poolside. I highly recommend it!
Last but not least. You know I couldn’t let July slip away without mentioning this vision in orange, er, I mean guy one more time.
What are you loving this month? What are you looking forward to in August?
Don’t forget about my Bulu Box giveaway!
I am interested in the Accelerade! I’ve never tried that…sounds good! And I love your title to this post! Cute!!!
I never thought about an Accelerade slushy. I got the Lemonade and I have to try to frozen soon!
Seriously in love with your picks – especially the shorts. I love a bright pant or short, and those are especially cute. Where are they from?
I also love the idea of a sports drink slushy. Might have to give that one a go.
Loving the orange, that’s my youngest son’s favorite color:) The shorts are so cute and the bright orange calf sleeves are much more exciting than my black ones:)
This month I’m loving kombucha – no orange flavor yet though 🙂
What size did you get the zensah sleeves? I had some a while back and felt like they didn’t have any compression at all. They do have some awesome colors, though.
This month, I’m loving that we’re finally getting rain and things are cooling off.
Ohhhh – when I said the word orange I had to get over here. You know that is myy favorite color!
I need a new pair of compression sleeves and/or socks and would love orange ones. I’ve heard that the Zensah oens aren’t quite tight enough. Any suggestions?
Love your loves! Never had the accelerade – may have to try that.
your description of the orange shorts could be in a magazine 😉 I loved it!!!! and nice orange. I love orange
Mike’s favorite color is orange 🙂
As a sign language interpreter I have to wear contrasting colors to my skin color, so I rock black, dark blue, dark green all the time. My running/triathlon clothes are definitely bright!
I am loving the orange in this post because it’s my fave color. I think I need a pair of Zensahs in that color too.
I’m loving this adventure I’m on. Stepping out of my comfort zone but it’s all good!
I do LOVE those orange calf sleeves! Very nice. I have very hot orange sneaks! Keep buying more things to match them.
Loving in July -lots of bike riding! Looking forward to in August – more bike riding and another tri!
Ooooooooh I like orange accelerade also. Reminds me of those push-up bars I used to get from teh ice cream man as a kid. 😀
Accelerade – good stuff.
The power of Orange is undeniable.
Love your picks – cannot believe I never thought to turn a sports drink into a slushy! Genius!
I’m pretty sure I own nothing orange in my wardrobe, but those orange shorts are adorable on you!
How do you make a orange slushie???
I did buy some orange Cytomax the other day at REI…I feel like an “in” girl now! 🙂
I really wasn’t ‘getting’ your obsession with orange until I got to the last picture and it all became clear.
I love me an orange slushie, too! Yum! Especially an Orange Fanta slushie – hard to find, but totally worth the effort. And yes, your last picture would make any woman love orange 🙂
LOVE the orange sleeves! They look super cute with your blue toes!
I am loving getting to run again and in August I’m looking forward to….more running. And less body fat.
Orange is my son’s favorite color, and I have an orange running shirt that I love, too.
How do you feel the calf sleeves compare to full socks? I’ve only ever worn socks because I feel like my achilles benefit from the compression, too!
Your shorts are cute. I REALLY need to get away from the khaki and camo-green myself in my boring ‘regular’ wardrobe. Not that I spend more than 5 minutes not in running or work clothes :p
One of my favorite shirts is an orange polo so I feel entitled to comment :-). Love the orange compression sleeves.
I love any running clothing that is obnoxious and bright!
Oooohhh…and accelerade slushie sounds perfect for these crazy hot days. I’m loving QuikTrip’s frozen cappuccinos and the Stephanie Plum series.
Love those orange shorts!
i love those calf sleeves!!! i love bright colors. everyone needs bright, funky, neons in their life for sure.
love me some zensahs! i’m loving that i get to take a trip to NYC and then the big, big trip to Seattle for HTC a day later. 🙂 so glad it’s August.
