Friday Favorites
Saucony Kinvara 4s
Last week I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got
home from school.
Of course, like any blogging runner, I had to rip the box
open, put them on and head out for a run immediately. I did make a minor error with this and didn’t wear high
enough socks, so around mile 4, I had the beginnings of some blisters, but they
weren’t major. I wear men’s shoes due to my super wide feet. The only drawback is that men’s shoes
are a bit higher on my Achilles and I’ll get weird rubbing if I don’t wear high
enough socks. Lesson learned.
ProCompression Trainer Socks
Ward had been asking for some low compression socks and
since he’s running Boston on Monday, I thought I should be nice and get him
some socks. While I was at it, I
ordered myself some purple ones.
They are incredible!
They are just a tad higher than no-show socks, but that’s completely
okay with me. These socks have the
same padding as the marathon socks but not the height. Obviously.
They also look kick butt with the sleeves. I think this is going to be my new
signature look. If you are looking
for some great deals for ProCompression socks right now, they have 40% and free
shipping all marathon socks with the code BLG13. In addition, ProCompression has another code for April
– SOMF4 for their color of the month socks – which are all baby blue and purple
socks.
Boston Marathon
The excitement is building for sure. I know so many people running this epic
race on Monday. This is not my year
to run. I’ve got quite a bit of
work to do to earn the privilege to run this race, and when the time comes,
you’ll all know. This year is
Ward, Mr. Running With the Girls’s 2nd year running the
marathon. I’ll be a spectator
again this year, along with my kids, brother-in-law, and friend Sarah and her
family. I’ve got the BAA app
downloaded to my phone and I also have all of the runners I’m following
stalking bib #s added in on the ATT Athlete Alert.
And so I can keep up with all of the following, tweeting,
and facebooking while hanging out in Boston, I bought an external charger for my iPhone.
What have been your favorites lately? Share the love.
My new faves are my Kinvara 3's and my Mizuno Ekidens. I also got a Fast as (S)hell shirt yesterday that I will be rocking Bangor in tomorrow! HA!
