Get Active with #ActiveNationDay

-
Have you heard? Today is ACTIVE NATION DAY! 
 So, get off the couch and get outside and MOVE! Lorna Jane and FitApproach want to spread the word that today (and everyday) is a perfect day to get moving. 





Lorna Jane started this movement two years ago by hosting events all over the world. Now, this year, Lorna Jane has made it their goal to make the movement GLOBAL! 





If you haven't gotten up and been active yet...there is still time. There's actually always time! No excuses. Bring the kids! Go for a walk, head to the playground and let them run around while you run laps around the playground, push you little one(s) in a jogger, or let them ride their bike or ride a scooter beside you while you run! If you are stuck on ideas....download the Lorna Jane app and check out the movement ideas there and listen to Lorna's motivating words in her fantastic accent.





I've only used the running selection, but I do like that there are so many more options to running.  And if you are looking for some motivational quotes....the Lorna Jane app has those too!






I took the kids out for a run today...well, I ran, Tucker rode his scooter & Izzy ran a little (but mostly sat in her jogger). No worries. She was active too. We ended the run at a playground!


Lorna Jane is also hosting a #LJMove competition on instagram. You can enter the contest by sharing your video doing the Lorna Jane dance. Check out the moves here and do it! It's fun! (plus you get a chance to win a $1000 gift card to Lorna Jane!   I haven't made my video yet....but it's coming.  Follow me on Instagram and see what I come up with.  If you make a video, please comment below or tag me in your video (@runningwtg) so I can see your awesome moves!

Now GO BE ACTIVE!

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 wit...

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 ...

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 ge...
