3 Things Thursday and a Winner
Categories: Balega, Giveaways, New Year, Race Schedule, Three Things Thursday, Trader Joe's
What I say vs what I do: I mentioned 2013 was going to be the year of the 5k for me. No more LSD….yeah right. What races have I signed up for so far? 3 half marathons.
Back to the gym: I finally made it to my first spin class of the year. The parking lot was so packed I could have used a shuttle bus to get to the door. Yet 10 minutes before class began, the cycle studio was almost empty. I think they’re all in SYNO yoga. The class eventually filled but still, no scratching and clawing like those yogis.
Treats I hate to love: As if Powerberries weren’t enough, now Trader Joe’s has Chocolate Covered Sea Salt Butterscotch Caramels. Total sweet tooth crack. I’m just now wedging myself back into my jeans after our recent gluttonous adventure on the high seas, aka cruise. Maybe this is why I have my schedule stacked with half marathons. Have you tried these?
Balega Socks Winner!
Bobbi come on down! Please contact me with size info. and your prize will be on it’s way. Thanks to all who entered! Thanks to Balega for sponsoring! Stay tuned for more giveaway fun soon!
Congrats to that Bobbi, although when I first saw the name I thought it was me, LOL!!
Spin class empty with 10 mins to go to start, that is a rarity
My newest foods I hate to love, Blue Diamond Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Almonds and Trader Joes Freeze Dried Strawberries
Balega socks rule my world! I love them!
I understand. I am holding myself back from signing up for another spring marathon. Maybe one in the fall. Who am I?
TJs is just mean with all their treats. Have you tried the dark chocolate with salt and pepper? My new love.
I love all the treats at Trader Joe’s, especially the Naughty Bites (just the name makes them worth it
)
Do what makes you happy! Sounds like half marathons are it.
I really need to try a spin class one day.
Those caramels SOUND like crack. Amazing!
That’s so funny that your gym is so yoga obsessed, but the spin class is deserted.
Hahaha! Which three?
I’m glad the local Trader Joe’s is in an inconvenient location for me to visit!
YAY!!! I’m a Balega medium
So, I know 1 of your halfs…which are the other 2 you’ve signed up for??
Sad that we don’t have a Trader Joe’s (closest one is just over an hour, I think).
I got my Aspaeris shorts today!!!! Thanks for doing that give-away! Can’t wait to try them out!
Those caramels look amazing. I can’t be trusted with a bag like that. I need mini ones. No self control. I am already signed up for 8 half marathons this year and 1 marathon. Must keep moving
Sometimes I’m glad we don’t have a Trader Joes in Colorado; those salted chocolate caramels would be one of my top reasons!
Did you sign up for a half marathon in Colorado, by chance!!
What three halts did you sign up for?
BTW, regarding your comment on the Spine shoes review, they wouldn’t be good on ice because the sole is too hard.
I love Trader Joes. However, I close my eyes when I walk past all those yummy treats. Deadly. I could eat a whole box of chocolate covered whatever from there.
The only treat I’ll allow myself to get is the small bars of dark chocolate. That way I can eat the whole thing. I’ve got a TJ run on the to-do list for tomorrow. Must. Avoid. Dark. Chocolate. Covered. Stuff.
I have seen so many yummy looking treats from TJs. We finally got one here a few months ago and I’ve been waiting for the hype to die down before venturing over. I miss the TJs chocolates, so I might have to go get some this weekend.
Holiday special chocolate-covered candy cane Jo-Jo’s. The. Bomb.
You just can’t avoid the half marathon distance! I think it’s middle distance so that’s fine
Those chocolate covered sea salt butterscotch caramels sound AMAZING! Good thing I haven’t stepped foot into our Trader Joes yet.
Chocolate covered salted caramel – yum! It’s just as well that I’ live thousands of kilometres away from the closest Trader Joe’s store
…this is an easy one – go for the half!
