This photograph totally cracks me up, yet brings great sadness. Today would have been my parents' wedding anniversary. It makes me incredibly sad knowing their time together was cut short.
Every year we get to July 31st and I sit here and wonder where the hell did summer go? In less than 2 weeks preseason begins for fall sports. For my family that means double sessions of soccer for Tucker and 1 session for me with coaching cross country. This month I only raced 1 time. I had signed up for the Bradbury Series in April. It's been on my bucket list for a long time because after you complete all three races (And I will complete them. Even if I have to crawl to complete them) you get a Badass Hoodie. It's seriously all about the hoodie. Well, the people behind the race are freaking awesome too. And I did love racing on the trails for the snowshoe series, so of course I would love racing on the trails without snow. I didn't have anything to base my performance on which means automatic PR. Right? The first race was a 6 mile trail race at Bradbury State Park. It's called th...
A little over a month ago, Jordan from Tommie Copper sent me some Tommie Copper gear to sample. I nearly peed my pants with excitement when the Tommie package came in the mail. It was a gorgeous fall afternoon AND I had new gear to try out, so I pushed dinner back and made the executive decision to go for a run immediately. Have you heard about Tommie Copper ? This company is known for it’s compression gear that is infused with Copper. So, why does Tommie use copper in it’s compression gear? From what I gather, copper has been used medicinally for 1000’s of years. Apparently copper stimulates the immune system to fight infections, repairs injured tissues and promotes healing. Do you think if I outfitted myself in TC gear and wore it to school everyday, I would fight off those gross elementary kid germs? I’m tempted to try that out. Seriously. Why do people even wear compression ge...
Socks are very important to a runner. If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run. Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock. I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out. Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out. I've never tried out double layer socks before. Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters. Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock. I wore the mediums for my 12 miler wit...
