Follow my blog with Bloglovin Around these parts, we love all things Under Armour-they are Baltimore based and we’ve had fun watching the company grow from humble beginnings into what it is today. So when UA contacted me to see if I wanted to review their new minimalist offering, the Toxic Six, of course I was on board. The company even threw in a pair [...]
I run around 40-50 miles/week, swim a couple of times each week, and when the mood strikes, also incorporate cycling into my routine. I also walk my daughter to/from school most days and take the dog for short walks. That’s seemingly quite a bit of movement, and compared to most Americans, I suppose it is. But really, if the remainder of my day is spent [...]
Pavement Runner threw out a fun link-up idea today–a peek into various bloggers’ running/gear closets. Since I’m an Oiselle ambassador, love their clothing, and have an outlandish amount lots of it, I thought I’d share some of my favorite Oiselle pieces. When you get down to it, I can honestly say there isn’t a week that goes by without my wearing some piece of Oiselle [...]
I haven’t done a giveaway in ages…kind of got out of the habit/lost my interest in doing one. But…I do appreciate my readers, so if something good crosses my desk that I can share with you, I’ll do it. I think you’ll agree that this one is something good! Sunglasses Shop offered me a chance to try the Oakley Women’s Ideal sunglasses and then offer [...]
You know I have a bad history with my Garmin–just not a big fan. But with this last training cycle, I had so many miles of marathon pace and tempo that there was really no way to avoid it. I had to suck it up and slap that thing on my wrist. How did it go? I still don’t love it, but it served its [...]
The winter edition. I’ve told you before, I don’t love much about winter, but I do love those things that make it more bearable and running more doable. So here it is, my current favorites: My Manzella beanie–I tend to run a bit hotter than most other runners, so believe it or not, overheating is always on my mind, even when the temps are in [...]
Now that’s some great SEO up there, isn’t it? It may not be, but it is what I am going to talk about today, so here goes: My big Christmas present this year was a door. And yes, I’m thrilled about that, which tells you the exciting life that I lead. Our old French doors leading out to the deck have seen better days. They [...]
I am admittedly a bit of a hoarder when it comes to minimalist shoes. I’ve tried most of them now, from the New Balance Minimalist (both road and trail versions), to the Merrell barefoot line, to Skora, and everything in between. Some have worked for me, some have not. When I spent my weekend in Bethlehem, PA, for the Runner’s World half marathon, one of [...]
Ok, anyone who knows me as a runner knows that I am a low-tech kind of gal. But I can certainly appreciate technology that enhances running, and when I come across technology that’s as simple as it is smart, then I am impressed. I was quite impressed recently when local runner Jason Kaplan introduced his very cool new product to me, the MilestonePod. It really [...]
It’s no secret that I’m, ahem, a bit of an Imelda when it comes to natural running shoes. You name the brand and I’ve probably tried it (note–it’s good to be a blogger!). The latest shoe I was fortunate enough to try is the Form, by Skora Running. I like what Skora is doing with running shoes. Their philosophy: At SKORA, we look at things differently. [...]
