Getting Ready

-
At least I can say someone is ready for her race today.



Izzy will hopefully be debuting her first fun run today with Ward and Tucker today (1/4 mile) at 10:00 am while I'm out on the course for the half today.  (really?  why do they schedule the fun run during the 1/2?)

Anyway, yesterday I picked up the kids swag bags and the shirts were going to be too big for Izzy so I ran to TJ Maxx hoping for something cute for Izzy and I found this adorable little Nike running skirt and shirt.



Now for me.  It's 30 degrees out there.   The temps aren't going to warm up that much between now and race them and there's the dreaded wind.  I have two slight variations in outfits for today and I cannot decide.  I probably won't decide until race time. That's how I roll.



the brrr....I'm cold look 

or the "let's be twinsies with Carrie look"  


Be ready for a race report soon!  Happy Saturday to all of you.

    I agree - I love the idea of races for kids, but it's so dumb that they coincide with the other events. Obviously, the parents need to be with their kids, but most of them are running too! Anyway, best of luck to you! Hope it's a great day for running. Both versions of your outfit look cute - I love the color scheme! Very spring-like! :)

      I guess it gives them something to do while the parents are gone, right? :)

    I had a hard time deciding on what to wear today too. But my cycling tights are padded and would have sucked to run in so I settled on my tri shorts. I wore a tech shirt (short sleeve) and a light running jacket which was a life saver when the cold rain started. Wore sweat pants, gloves and ear band until race start because I am a wuss. Love this outfit whichever version you chose. Glad to see they could all tell you were "TOUGH"!

    Hope you had a great race! Your daughter is adorable... there was a kids race this morning at the 4 mile race I ran, and it was the first time I realized my daughter is ready (and wants to) run, but she's just a little over two... maybe we'll try one soon?!

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

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
