Continuing the streak.....

-
Day 15 of my running streak (remember, I started on 12/27) and I am still streaking!  I must be honest, if I were to only do a mile/day for the remainder of January, I think I would be a happy camper.  My legs are feeling a bit tired.  But they are getting stronger, right?  My only concern right now is that I have a race on Saturday and normally I'd take 2 days off completely prior to a race so I can have "fresh legs".  I am guessing - those days will be 1 milers and probably slow 1 milers!  I would really like to perform better than I did at the race last year.  We'll see! 

A congratulations goes out to Meghan.  She is the winner of the Centrum ProNutrients giveaway!!! 

Streakers - let me know how you are doing with the streak?  How does it make you feel?

    I wanted to do the streak, but had eye surgery and am not allowed to run or workout for 6 days... tomorrow's the first day I'm allowed and I can't wait! I also have a race on Saturday, so I'm glad I'll be able to run it!

    maybe do walk/run intervals?? is that against your streak rules??
    I've been putting up some pretty big volume lately and I've been having a giant protein shake right after big workouts and I am finding my legs are recovering super quick now. Might be something to consider during your streak!
    Happy and Safe Running!!

    I am feeling pretty good so far. I am on day 13 (started on 12/30). I have done a few one milers. Trying not to do to much on the day before a scheduled run.  I am super slow and am really trying to speed up.

    But you are running!!!  Yay!  Are you doing the Jan Thaw?  Did you SEE the forecast?  Last year I should have raced in my yak trax, this year I might!  I am actually liking the 1 milers!  I never thought I'd say that.

    Thanks!!!  It's funny - one of the girls on Sunday said "so you are trying to do a streak?" My reply was "no, I AM going to do the streak!"

    I didn't think of that.  I would say it's out, but at this time I don't think I need them.  I've been hitting the protein hard and loving my compression gear.  They will get me through this!  Thanks!

    Janine  - there will be plenty of opportunities to streak again!!!  I'm sure I'll do another shortly!  But probably not in Feb.

    Great job with your run streak! I wish I hadn't started the year off sick. One mile is better than nothing so I think that's awesome!

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

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 with the girls on New Year's Da

I GLOW + giveaway

Running at night scares used to terrify me.  But, it all comes down to if I want to run I had to get over this fear.  Running in the darkness is my only option if I plan on running Monday through Friday since it’s dark before school and getting dark when I leave school and it’s going to be this way until mid February/March.  I supposed option B would be to rejoin the gym, but I really don’t want to spend the $$ and I don’t really enjoy the treadmill anymore.  So, outside it is! I’ve put a lot of thought into what I need to feel safe to run at night.  First and foremost, I needed some new gear to help me out, which lead me to RoadID for some help in this area. This company is fantastic.  It was founded by Michael and Edward Wimmer, a father/son owned company.  Read the story here .  Last fall, I had purchased my own ShoeID.  I like the simplicity of it and that ease of putting it on any pair of shoes (with laces) as I head out the door.  There is some great comfort knowing t

Tommie Rocks + Giveaway!

 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 gear?  Do they just like wearing tight clothing? Actually, Tommie’s compression line i
