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...
Every year we get to July 31st and I sit here and wonder where the hell did summer go? In less than 2 weeks preseason begins for fall sports. For my family that means double sessions of soccer for Tucker and 1 session for me with coaching cross country. This month I only raced 1 time. I had signed up for the Bradbury Series in April. It's been on my bucket list for a long time because after you complete all three races (And I will complete them. Even if I have to crawl to complete them) you get a Badass Hoodie. It's seriously all about the hoodie. Well, the people behind the race are freaking awesome too. And I did love racing on the trails for the snowshoe series, so of course I would love racing on the trails without snow. I didn't have anything to base my performance on which means automatic PR. Right? The first race was a 6 mile trail race at Bradbury State Park. It's called th...
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...
