What's Colorful & Fun? #ColorMeRad5k Of Course!

-

I know, I know!  I'm not supposed to be running.  But you cannot tell me that the
doesn't look like a blast!   Even if I walk it.  I am planning on doing this with my kids.  And if the prognosis of the knee is worse than I'm hoping (fingers still crossed!), then either I'll walk it or I'll transfer my registration to my husband.  That is one thing I LOVE about this race.  You can transfer your registration to anyone anytime - even up to packet pickup.  AWESOME!  Oh and kids under 7 are FREE!  



What is a Color Me Rad 5k?  
It's an untimed fun run (or walk) where you start out in a white shirt and you get completely coated by Color Bombs of blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until your entire body looks tie-dyed.  Each section you run though will add a new color to your look and when you cross the finish line, you'll get a final blast of all colors.

I was a little worried about looking a little tie-dyed when I head back a few days later, so I checked out what the "color" is made of.  It's a non-toxic, non-rash-inducing, colored corn-starch and it comes out with soap and water.  It may take a few tries - especially those with light color hair!

The Brunswick race is just about sold out, but if you would like to register for that one and join my team (please!!!)  or register for any race (see below) - just use the code "radfun" for 20% until tomorrow night - August 2nd at midnight!  Hurry!

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
