Best Body Bootcamp Week #2

-
I am loving Tina Reale's Best Body Bootcamp.  The first two weeks have flown by and I'm definitely feeling stronger.  





Here's my week recap:  

Monday: 5 miles - treadmill
Tuesday: Workout A + Circuit Interval 
Wednesday: 7 miles - progression run, treadmill
Thursday: 8 miles, treadmill + Workout A + Interval Workout B
Friday: Workout C + Circuit Interval
Saturday:  4.5 miles, treadmill
Sunday: 12.3 miles, outside

Total Mileage - 37 miles (for #TeamEscapades #ChillyChallenge)

I'm finding lately I am heading for the treadmill for running.  I'm not about to run outside in the dark.  No way.  I'm a chicken.  And when it comes down to it, it's incredibly convenient for me to walk down 4 days at school and hop onto a treadmill at school.  On a good day, I can crank out 7 miles before having to head home to be there for the boys to get off the bus.  Yes, I'm missing my outside running, but I'm really enjoying wearing shorts and tanks right now while it's so darn cold outside.  

I did swap some days around a little to do workouts on my running rest days, I like to be active all days and Best Body Bootcamp is the perfect way to add in a workout each day and feel good about it.   

What did you do to be active this week?  Are you doing Best Body Bootcamp?  How about #ChillyChallenge?  I do love a challenge.

    I might need to jump in on this challenge. As I mentioned on my blog I've been so lax lately. I really need to up my strength. NICE miles!!!! I think I'm only at about 37 for this MONTH! lol so lazy. I need to hit the mill more often. I don't run in the dark either. Not worth the risk.

    Looks like a great week ahead! I agree running in the dark (especially alone) is less appealing all the time. WORK IT GIRLIE!

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 with the girls on New Year's Da

Meet Sarah & Kelly   They are the women behind Spandits.   Spandits is a Maine company specializing in creating high quality, original athletic apparel.  Both of these women are amazing.  They are mothers, running coaches and marathoners.  They know running and what feels good. the label - on my capris, it is located just below the knee I came across their store on Ward's facebook page a few months ago and immediately fell in love.   I have gotten quite bored with my plain black and gray tights and capris.  Yes, they match just about any top, but there's nothing special about them at all.  Now, Spandits is all about special and original.  They stand out in a crowd and definitely get quite a bit of attention. Kelly was actually Ward & Wade's high school track coach.  As long as I've known the guys, I've been hearing stories about their amazing track coach.  Last Sunday, I finally got the chance to meet her and her partner, Sarah, at t

ArmPocket Review + Giveaway

One of the must haves when running is my phone.  I run with it for safety and of course, to stop and take a picture.  You never know when you'll see something great on the side of the road or when I have to take a selfie.  Runner priorities. I had this old arm band for the original iTouch I bought Ward years ago, so I've been using that running armband for my iPhone.  Well, sometimes.  It's horrible.  It's hard to get my phone in and out of it.  It's not water resistant at all.  And there's no room to carry other things in it.  Very frustrating. Which lead to me simply carrying my phone.  With my hands.   And I was okay with that.  It was quite easy to take a picture because I already had the phone in my hand.  But there was one problem.  A pretty major one and I didn't even notice until my brother-in-law saw me running one day and asked me why I didn't use my arms when I run.  Hmmmm......   I thought I was using my arms.  I have many pictures
