Enjoy The Day

-
Yesterday afternoon, Ward got out of work early and we did something we don't do enough - kick back and relax.   Ward was working in Freeport and the kids and I were already at a birthday party near Freeport, so it just made sense for us to go hang out in Freeport.


Ward drove his Austin Healy to work yesterday, so Tucker drove with him from the party in the car.  


This just says summer is coming!  


So does ice cream!


Yes, we were really just hanging out!


LL Bean has a large fish tank with a viewing bubble inside.  The kids could spend hours in there.


Looks like fun.  



I even got my Mother's Day gift - a Sugoi tank.  It was much warmer than expected, I took the shirt off that I was wearing and changed into it right away.  

It was perfect.  The weather was incredible as well.  I really couldn't ask for anything more.  Spending time with the family is really at the top of my list of what I want to do.





Today also promises for a great day.  Starting off with some beautiful handmade gifts from the kids and then an 8 mile run with the girls.  After that - hopefully some scones made by Ward and the kids and then off to the cottage to celebrate my Mother's Day and my mother-in-law's birthday.

Happy Mother's Day to all my momma friends today!

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
