Saturday Favorites

-
Well hello there!  This Saturday is shaping up to be a gorgeous day! 



Instead of Friday Favorites, because I didn't get this post done on time, I'm going to bring you a Saturday Favorites.   It's my blog and I can do what I want! 

Premier Protein.
Something I've been dying to tell you about.  It's the newest Premier Protein flavor - Bananas & Cream.  It tastes amazing!  Almost like a dessert.   But a dessert that is packed with 30 grams of protein, essential amino acids, 24 vitamins and minerals, 1 gram of sugar and 160 calories!



I tried it as a recovery shake and definitely felt satisfied and ready to take on the next day's workout.  Plus I still cannot get over how delicious it tasted!  


Even as a meal replacement shake it was the best!  I'm huge into smoothies for meals anyway but I was out of my normal powder.  So I grabbed one of these instead....and my lunch was taken care of!  


I even shared with Ward, "Mr. Running With The Girls".  Of course I waited until the last one to offer up my sharing.... because if I offered it earlier, he would have just drank them all because he thought they were amazing too!   

Shower Pill.  
You know it's meant to be when you're loading the car to head to the gym for a brutal incline treadmill workout for Mt. Washington and you see the mail truck pull up to your mail box.  So you decide to get the mail before heading to the gym and you have your supply of Shower Pill and a new cool tank!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE Shower Pill.  It keeps me feeling fresh and non-smelly when I don't have time to shower after a workout.  It's especially helpful on those days I have parent-teacher conferences and need to run before heading back to school!   I also like to keep a stash in my bag because you just never know!   Use the code WIPEDOWN for 15% off at ShowerPill.  



Spring.
While I'm on the topic of those hard, incline treadmill runs.  Let's talk about Spring!  This fabulous music app has so many options for you, it's incredible!   I love the variety and the choices!  


Spring also has training plans available to you too!  Feel free to download this app for a free 1 month trial HERE.  

What are some of your favorite things lately???  What races or events do you have coming up?  

 I was provided a sample of Premier Protein, who understands that this review and the opinion stated is that of my own.  As always, all opinions expressed in my blog are 100% my own.

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...
