TOTR: Top 10 gifts for runners
So, what do YOU want for Christmas? Pretty much everything on my list this year is running related. (Although if Santa dropped off a new Mac under the tree, I'd be pretty stoked about that. Right now I'm seeing that spinning ball of color WAY too often.) Anyways for this week's Tuesdays on the Run *Holiday Edition* with Patty and April, I'm going to share some of the things I love that might give you some ideas for the runner in your life. I'm looking forward to perusing all the other lists to add to my wish list. (Shh, don't tell Beer Geek!) (Many of the following links are affiliate links, which means I get a little money to buy more running stuff if you buy through them.) [Tweet "Perfect gifts for the runner in your life!

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 do for my thighs, so couldn't wait to see what they'd do for my "girls". I'll admit that I'm cheap when it comes to running bras. I've been firmly in the uniboob, smoosh 'em down camp for most of my running career. When I actually had a rack, thanks to nursing? I just smooshed them with two bras. And I was pretty much ok with that. I have seen the light. The first thing to note here is that the bra has shape even when it's not on. It's very … [Read more...]
I may be overpacking…
Last night I started packing for the trip. No, we don't leave for a few days, but I need to be making progress. For the last 7 years, we haven't gone on a vacation that didn't involve at least a few nights at a house or condo with a washer and dryer. (I'm kind of in love with Vacation Rentals By Owner.) I prefer packing light and doing a couple of loads of laundry on vacation. This trip we will be at a different location every night. Since I'm not a fan of putting my running clothes in the dryer (and I'm not going to have an easy place to hang dry), I went with the new outfit each day option. Also, I can't risk losing my shoes, so I'm taking a good sized carry on. This is not the norm for me either. First thing in: my Brooks … [Read more...]
Three Skirts Thursday
I've been on a search for a running skirt that works for me for quite a long time. I've tried on every skirt I could find in my local running stores. I've ordered a few. I've even received one to review. Eventually I found my one true skirt. The skirt I'll run many miles in. The skirt that I'll likely run my next marathon in. (Wondering what I'm talking about? I heart me some Happy Hour/Happy Girl skirts from Skirt Sports.) Along the way, I found a few nearly right skirts. Skirts that I could run in without too much of an issue. Skirts that I thought would be "the one". But once I found my one true skirt, these skirts were relegated to the under the bed storage. They haven't seen the light of day in months. And that's not … [Read more...]
I didn’t burst into flame!!!
I carry all my extra weight in my thighs. You think I exaggerate, but if I could trim down my thighs, I'd easily wear one size smaller, maybe even two. Because of that, as much as I'd like to be a skirt girl like G, T, and J, I've been unable to find a skirt with long enough compression shorts. I always joked that I could heat the world with the friction from my legs and that there wasn't enough glide in existence to prevent that.Enter my new running skirt. I was offered the opportunity to review a skirt from Mondetta (review next week). When I got it, I discovered the shorts underneath fit me like bun huggers. Uh oh. I decided to give it a try anyways on a short run in my bigger Merrell Pace Gloves … [Read more...]
