Once upon a time, I ran two marathons, a few half marathons, and a bunch of other races. I ran them at a pace way speedier than I am these days. I ran them without injury. I ran them in Mizuno Wave Riders and Saucony Triumphs. Then I got this bright idea. No, we’ll call…

Wii Fit U + Fit Meter Review
Confession: We love our electronics around here. Confession #2: We are fond of Nintendo products. While we do have limits on how much time our children can be interfacing with screens (unless they are reading on the kindle), we do own quite a few options for the time that they are allowed. Both boys have…
Designer Whey and Smari review
Remember how I was searching for a way to get more protein into Jones’ life? I bought a number of different protein powders for baking. Guess what happened to them? Trash. I couldn’t stand the taste. But I kept seeing mention of whey proteins and decided that would be a great next one to try….
Revolve DC Indoor Cycling Review
Recently, Revolve DC approached me and offered me a free class. I was really excited to try it, but the only time of day that works for me is 10:00am. With only a few of those classes each week, it took me a few weeks to finally get in. (There are plans to increase the…
Cleaning up my diet
You know how “they” say you can’t out-exercise a bad diet? Well, I’m here to tell you it’s true. I managed to gain a whole lot of fluff while I was running crazy miles for the five halves in five days. I’ve managed to keep it on, despite working out more intensely and actually using…
Saucony Kinvara 4 make me feel sassy!
When an unexpected box showed up at my door a few weeks ago, I picked it up and thought “who sent me an empty box?” Seriously. It was that light. Turns out, Saucony sent me a pair of Kinvara 4’s to try out. I’ll admit I didn’t exactly jump for joy when I opened the…
Skirt Sports Kelly Bra Review
I really wanted to call this post “locked and loaded”. LOL I’ve waxed poetic a number of times about the Skirt Sports Happy Girl Skirt. I LOVE those skirts! So, when Skirt Sports reached out to me to try out one of their new running bras, I jumped on the chance. I love what they…
39.3 miles in the Saucony Virrata
For the last year+, I’ve been on a quest. For what? The perfect running shoe. When I started wearing minimalist shoes, I found that I run too heavy and on too much pavement to run major mileage with little or no cushion. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Vibrams and my Pace Gloves, but…
WIAW brought to you by Schwan’s
“They” say that timing is everything. I was recently given the opportunity to receive some food from Schwan’s for review. I jumped at the chance and they asked me to tell them what I’d like to try. You know how you should never go to the grocery store hungry? Well, you should also never peruse…
Fila Toning Resistance Capris and shirt review
I recently got the chance to try out a couple of new items from the Fila line. For the bottom, I was sent the Toning Resistance Capris in grey. Source I really loved the color and they were well made and a heavy weight material (heavier than most capris I own). I think they were…
Athleta Relay Capri and Luscious Half Zip Review
I really wanted to call this post “It’s Friday I’m in Love”, but I figured that would reveal just a little too clearly how old I am LOL. I’m super excited to tell you about the Athleta Relay capri and the Athleta Luscious Half Zip. I’m a huge fan of Athleta. I love their clothes…
ProCompression Socks Review
I love compression socks and calf sleeves. When my calf started having issues last winter, the only way I could run was to wear compression. I’m no longer having those kind of issues, but my calf is still a cranky guy. (Seriously, if I stretch out after sitting or sleeping with my legs bent, instant…
