I got my first items to review from Tommie Copper quite a while ago. They sent me a set of calf sleeves and ankle sleeves. At the time, I immediately fell in love with the calf sleeves. They may have been the very first piece of compression gear I owned. More than 2 years later,…

Bia Multi-Sport GPS Mini Review
Welcome to our weekly Tuesdays on the Run! Today we are talking about technology, so linkup with Patty from My No Guilt Life, April from Run the Great Wide Somewhere and me with your running technology post. Don’t have one? Any running post will do! I’ve had the Bia for around 2 months now, so…
HipS-Sister Review
I work part-time as a reference librarian at a public library. As most of you know, the reference desk of the public library is, well, a very public place. Because I am a substitute, I don’t have a desk in the restricted area of the library plus I like to keep my phone with me. …
Popsugar June Must Have Box
I like surprises. Ok, let me rephrase that. I like to be surprised by good things. (Finding out how expensive the little scrape on my new car is going to be? Not a good surprise.) POPSUGAR offering to send me their June Must Have Box? That’s definitely a good surprise! So, what is the “Must…
Onzie yoga clothing review
I know, you are thinking, “she’s a runner, why yoga clothing?” In fact, that was my first response and I nearly turned them down. Until I took a close look at their website. Created by a young Bikram Yogi and manufactured in the US, Onzie offers yoga, lifestyle wear, and (dare I say it?) running…
Bondi Band review and giveaway
I adore Bondi Bands! I was given my first one back after I finished my first marathon and totally fell in love with their versatility. So when SweatPink gave me the opportunity to get a new band and give a couple away, I jumped on it, because, obviously, I don’t have enough (and I’m pretty…
Apera Tech Bag review + Lucky 13 Giveaway #2
Half marathon #2 is done! I ran it way faster than I expected. I need to learn how to not race every race LOL. This was my first “away” race in my 13 in 79 days. It wasn’t far and we only went up for a night, but it did mean I had to pack…
Skora CORE shoes review
A while back, I was given the opportunity to try out a pair of Skora shoes. I chose the CORE shoes because I thought they were cute. (Me? Shallow?) The CORE shoe is a minimalist shoe with zero drop. They are a little more shoe than the five fingers I used to run in, but…
It takes a village
Perhaps you’ve noticed my lovely new header. (You haven’t? You must stop by. It shur is purdy!) Perhaps you also noticed that you couldn’t comment on my blog for much of the morning yesterday. (Again? You didn’t notice? That makes me sad.) Anyways, in an effort to update and declutter my blog, I got a…
Win Detergent Review
I’m cheap. I admit it. I’m the queen of finding things on sale and often will do without if I think something is too pricey. (OK, I admit there are exceptions: beer and races. But the above holds true for anything from running clothes to household items to groceries.) I made an exception to that…
Yaktrax Review
Virginia is a Southern state. We don’t get a huge amount of snow each year, but most years we get *some* snow. (Some years we get walloped, but that’s a topic for another post…) I have an older pair of Yaktrax Run that I think was sent to me to review. Maybe. Probably. Who knows……
Warm gifts for cold weather running
The beauty of running in Virginia is that not only do you get to run in 100+ degrees with nearly matching humidity, but you also get to run in cold and snow. It doesn’t hit single digits (except with windchill) often, but there are plenty of opportunities to run in the teens and 20s. I’ve…
