What A Weekend! And a chance to win $300 worth of prAna

-

With a week left of summer before we head back to school, I feel this crazy amount of pressure to squeeze in all kinds of summer fun!  


Last Friday, I took the kids to Funtown/Splashtown.   We picked the perfect day for our trip, it was warm but not overly hot and I'm thinking everyone had fun.  

wheel pose while the kids are on the rides?  of course!
Izzy tried out driving for the first time.  She took this responsibility quite serious.  
scraping is definitely a workout....  a #weirdworkout for sure.  I'm so sore!

We've been wanting to paint the house all summer long.  So waiting until the last week of summer to start the process seems completely logical.  Right?  


In my opinion, we seriously have until November to finish this project anyway.  And it's weird... the entire time I felt like I was being watched.  I kept hearing this Michael Jackson song over and over again in my head.  Yep.  Mallie is always watching me.  She wants to be with her people!  



Of course, it only made sense to run on the treadmill, in red, white and blue while watching the Men's Olympic Marathon.   And you would have thought I was watching football or something.  I was totally in it.  Cheering when Rupp and Meb were in the front of the pack....   screaming NO! when Meb was on the side of the road.  All. Completely. Normal.  



After some more paining and scraping we headed off to the cottage for some tubing fun.  This time behind the jet skis... which was a huge favorite for my girl.  


The view from the cottage is quite amazing.  We spied a sailboat out there after dinner.


Tell me, do you think scraping and paint the house is a workout?  It may be a #weirdworkout, but to me, I think it is!  



I invite you to share you own #weirdworkout.  There are 6 ways to play and 10 people will win!   The  contest runs from August 15 – 31st, 2016.

bridge jumping a workout? sure!
I sure love my prAna clothing.  I might be addicted.   This summer I've been in love with my prAna swim top.  So cute and flattering.   When I go back to school, I'll be living in my Kara jeans once again... and I've added a couple more colors to my collection!  I'm so excited to wear them again!

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...
