- Sunblock! It’s actually warm enough and sunny enough today that I’ve pulled out the sunblock for my arms and legs. 70 spf seems to be a bit of overkill in March, but it’s what I have, so it’ll do. (I am Casper the ghost white even at the end of summer, so major spf is necessary around here.)
- Jones has strep and Shoo has a cold, so sleep and free time are a bit non-existant around here. Thankfully, Jones is no longer contagious, so they both went to school. Mommy NEEDS to run (although I’m getting the cold, so it may not be my best run ever.) On the bright side, I finally organized all of Jones’ hand me downs for Shoo, so I can easily find the right size/season. I think I have enough clothes for three four year olds LOL.
- I got an awesome box of stuff from Gu. I’ll be using and reviewing some of it and sharing the rest with you all. I’m planning to use Gu Chomps today during my “long” run. Stay tuned for a giveaway, probably after Easter. A huge thank you to them for sending some of their great products. (Their gels are some of the few that don’t make me sick. I’m hoping to find that their other stuff works just as well.)
Off to enjoy running in the sun, before the rain gets here.
I learned my lesson about sunblock already. And that was just my face on a cold day when I had long sleeves and such on. I won't forget next time…and definately not if my arms/legs are out!
Sounds like everyone is sick! Hope you don't get it too bad. Have a great run!
my face kinda stung a bit after sunday's race and saturday's ride, not sure if it was because of all the sunshine we were spoiled with… but a great reminder as we start spending more time outdoors! 🙂 Hope the kiddos feel better soon!
Drink lots of water; get your run in; call me in the morning.
It was great meeting you! I wish I had my camera so we could have take a pic for my blog 🙂
Gu is my absolute FAVE! Can't wait for the giveaway. Have a good run and stay healthy!!
Yay for sunblock! (Both because the weather is nice and because you use it! So important!) Here's to healty kids very soon!
sunblock makes me happy…especially when it's mixed with anti-wrinkle cream!
It's crazy to think sunblock + March- but when it's needed- it is needed! Have a great run today!
I'm a big fan of Guy chomps – very cool on getting the free stuff. And yea for needing sunblock all over again!
Hope you had a nice run…and sunblock is a must!! …and I like Jamoosh's advice 🙂
Ooooo, sorry the little guy is sick and I hope you don't get it bad! I was out of training for 3-wks and it was sooo hard! Thanks for the sunblock reminder!!
Sunblock?! I never thought I would say that I am jealous of someone being able to wear sunblock.. but I am!I love Gu. Actually, I was trying to find it at the local bike shop today but couldn't… I need some for my long ride tomorrow!Sorry to hear the little ones are sick! No fun ..
Spring has sprung! It's awesome, isn't it? Hope the sickies leave your house soon.
I like Gu's chomps better than their gels, but I still like Shot Bloks better.
Can't wait to hear about Chomps because I have never used them.
I have yet to try the Gu stuff! I always forget to take it with me on my "long" runs aka 5 miles! lol Take some vitamin C for that cold!
Gu Chomps! I just picked up my first package last weekend and am excited to try them out on an upcoming long run!
Gu has been my heaven lately. And thanks for the reminder on the sunscreen – it's too easy to forget when I leave home in the dark, but surprise, the sun is blazing when I'm still running 3 hours later.
I didn't think I'd need sunblock yet, but judging from my developing farmers tan, I guess I do!
