What? We’re talking fashion now? What is this blog coming to? I mentioned I may be in somewhat of an ‘acquisition’ phase with a couple of recent workout wear purchases. First there was the quest for patterned capris (mission accomplished). Then I needed to replace my stained white tank (check). You know the drill. Along [Read More]
Friday 5
1. Nature’s Bounty Update: Well it’s been 30 days since I started taking Nature’s Bounty Hair/Skin/Nail supplements. First let me say these gummies are quite delicious. The verdict? My hair is great. It may have grown a little faster because now it’s totally insane but that’s because I almost never get in for a [Read More]
Apera Bag Review and Giveaway
It’s been a tough winter. While I survived, barely, I’m sorry to say my gym bag bit the dust. It was too worn out to go on. The salt stains were the last straw. Truth is I never really loved it anyway. It wasn’t big enough (twss). Especially if I wanted to workout AND swim [Read More]
Readers’ Choice Awards
While this blog turns 5 years old this month, the MHS Facebook page is but a baby, little more than a year or 2 old?? (go me for keeping track–ha!)

How to Dress for Cold Weather Running
Last week we had some of the coldest weather I’ve gone out to run in so far this season. Not having a spring marathon to train for makes me a touch more willing to surrender to the mill. But I couldn’t resist getting out in the snow yesterday for 10 miles. Temperature when I went [Read More]
How Do You Store Your Stuff?
Yesterday I had a long run on the docket. It was 28 degrees and falling. A fine coating of ice shellacked the pavement. Do I wear a jacket? It’ll be the first time this winter that I’ve worn one. My inner pansy alert is sounding. I usually go without in 28 degrees but if it’s dropping…and [Read More]

The birthday giveaway trains rolls on as the big day draws nearer. Today we’re talking about another one of my favorite things: booty compression. Hard workouts have a way of making hamstrings, hips and glutes tired and angry. Mine always seem to be in some state of angst. Aspaeris Pivot Shorts are designed to combat that [Read More]
A Handful of Giveaway Fun
I have been a Handful Bra fan since the beginning. They’re super-comfy with removable pads that can be inserted and removed. My days of nipped-out running pictures are over! Not only is this a great running/yoga/gym bra, it’s comfy and cute enough to wear anytime. It flatters instead of flattens, like many sports bras do. [Read More]
Let’s Talk Fitness Fashion
Probably one of my favorite things about working out, aside from the health benefits and endorphin rush, is wearing fun, fashionable gear. Yes a workout feels that much better when you look good doing it! Me? I can never have too many half zips. The brighter the better for the safety aspect as well as [Read More]
