This photograph totally cracks me up, yet brings great sadness. Today would have been my parents' wedding anniversary. It makes me incredibly sad knowing their time together was cut short.
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've been thinking quite a bit lately about the foods I feed my family, the lotions I use, the clothes I wear. How much of it is so bad for our bodies? Then I find a company, like prAna, a company that offers gorgeous clothing that is sustainable, recycled, fair trade certified and hemp items. I love that my prAna clothing is not only from a good place, it also looks and feels amazing. The new prAna Spring line has me super excited for warmer days to come and more chances to wear this gorgeous clothing. I can see myself living in this new Cali dress and the new Lizbeth skirt this summer. Both are absolutely gorgeous and timeless. They will both make into my suitcase when we head off to Florida next month. I actually had to read more about why prAna makes clothing with hemp. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it doesn't require the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Hemp is actually a d...
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 ...
