What I Ate Wednesday + GIVEAWAY!!!!

-
This past fall I experimented with a cleanse - which means I took dairy, gluten, coffee and sugars out of my diet.  For that time, I felt amazing.   Then I gradually added gluten and dairy back into my diet.  Sadly, my body revolted.   Coffee was making me sick.  Like really sick.  I have found that cold brew coffee and green tea are now my caffeine sources.  I'll take it!  I also found that gluten didn't really agree with my stomach.  When I splurge on that seriously amazing tasting whoopee pie, my body revolts.  Like it did last night.  It was bad.  So bad.  But I love bread!  


Gluten free breads in my area is kinda hard to come by.  You can buy UDI's at the grocery store, but that's really your only option.  Unless you are lucky and get to the local food coop we have downtown.  Which is somewhere I normally do not frequent, but I guess I have to now...because I have found the BEST gluten free bread ever there.  And I mean THE BEST!  So now that I found them, I'm on the quest to make sure I always have this delicious bread in my house.  I bet I can even feed it to my family and they won't have a clue that it's glutenless.  She is actually the Bread Lady Bakery.  



And her brioche burger rolls?  Soft.  Flavorful.  Delicious!  They do not "taste" glutenless at all.  And I can enjoy burgers with buns again!  Yippee!!!!   Now I need to find out where she sells those brioche rolls!  I need them in my life!

And now..... My first fundraising contest!  As you know, I'm running the NYCM this November with team Miles for Miracles with Boston Children's Hospital.    You can read about why I've chosen to run for Boston Children's Hospital here.

Which means, I am in fundraising mode!  My first fundraising contest is this Runner's Package! Red Fox Wireless earbuds, Trigger Pin, and RC5X Heart rate watch and strap.  Retail value $350.

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...
