It’s beginning to look a lot like St. Patty’s….wait…no it’s not…with all the snow on the ground it still looks like Christmas, who am I kidding? But it IS almost St. Patty’s Day and since I have not a single drop (that I know of) of Irish blood in me, I’m celebrating with some of [Read More]
Aspaeris Pivot Shorts Giveaway
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]
T-7 Birthday Giveaway
Before we get down to business, my girl posse and I are honored to be featured on the Fit Pregnancy and Parenting Site. Please head over and give us some love. Go ahead, I’ll wait. It’s my last week before I ‘age-up’ into a new decade (sigh) and, instead of whining, I’m making the best [Read More]
Zensah Compression Sock Review
Zensah is one of those rare companies where I’ve loved every product I tried. I violated rule #1 of the runners code (don’t wear anything new on race day) when I bought Zensah arm sleeves at the expo and wore them for the first time at The Boston Marathon in 2010. Zensah Arm Sleeves in [Read More]
Stuff I Love: November Edition
Shower Pill: You all know I’ve been going to hot vinyasa flow (or as I like to say ‘sweat your nuts off, or SYNO ) yoga for a couple of weeks now. I was beginning to think when I survived the 3rd class that things were looking up and SYNO was no longer impossible. Alas [Read More]
Saucony Triumph Review and a Winner
Recently I had the opportunity to try out the brand-new Saucony Triumph 10. Like rebels everywhere, I violated rule #1 of the runner’s code and cracked them out at the Zooma Great Lakes 5k. Yes I raced in a shoe I hadn’t even put my toes in before. They were surprisingly light and very [Read More]
Switching It Up: Puma Giveaway
As much as I loved the Marine Corps Marathon, I’ve longed for this star-crossed training cycle to end. As I struggled with injury I knew I had to change things up once the race was behind me. I want to shift my focus from distance running to short but intense, strength building workouts. But how? [Read More]
October Stuff I Love
Time already for another installment of stuff I’m digging. Time flies! Athleta’s Power Mesh CYA Skirt. OMG kids this makes my heart sing. Gorgeous color and print. Slip it over capris, tights or compression shorts. This one’s a top contender for Marine Corps Marathon attire. I can’t help but wonder if I could rock my [Read More]
5 Things I’m Loving Now
1. Trader Joe’s Organic Greens. Typically I’m not a fan of bagged lettuces but, since I didn’t grow any in the garden this year, I can’t resist this. It’s a mix of baby kale, spinach and chard. All tiny and tender and delicious. I use it on sandwiches, salads, as a bed for other veggies, in [Read More]
