I love that she wakes up that happy every morning!
I totally forgot to post yesterday. Got busy and it just didn't happen. I ended up not running, and did P90X instead. My foot was feeling good and I just didn't want to ruin it by running. I figured one more day of low impact would only help. Run club tonight though...it's not going to be fun. I know I have lost some conditioning and speed with all this rest. Oh well...I will get it back!
I posted a few weeks ago that I received some early birthday money. I have been not so patiently waiting for the ordered items to arrive so I could do a birthday goodies post. Finally today the last of the items arrived!
The goods...
Not pictured- neon pink calf sleeves...they sent me compression socks instead of the sleeve, so am getting that worked out. Also not pictured is the Tacoma Narrows 1/2 marathon entry fee. (Race fee's are so much $$$. I won't complain much though, no one is forcing me to run.)
Usually I buy myself running stuff, but the downfall to that is I get to a point that the only clothing I have is running stuff and then I'm struggling to put outfits together or wearing the same two outfits for parties, dinner out, and other non-running events. So, this time I focused on the non running side of life, for the most part.
Pictured:
-Running shoes and Sole inserts...now I have two pair to rotate which will be key when 1/2 training starts!
-Okabashi flip flops in black and orange. I live in flip flops as much as possible, but am finding that flat shoes don't help my feet feel good with all the running, so I got these because they have great arch support, can be tossed in the dishwasher, and have a 2 year warranty. Went with black and orange because between the two I have every summer outfit covered. Check out their site HERE
-Two brow pencils from MAC...the color I use is their most popular and they are always out, so I got two since I had spending money. I also got my favorite lip gloss and foundation at Bare Essentials. I was close to being completely out of the foundation...yikes!
-THIS Hit The Trail skirt from Athleta. I have found that while on road trips and hiking a lot of times a skirt is way more comfortable. This skirt has built in shorts, zippered pockets all over the place, and storage pocket on the back that snaps off and has a cross body strap to double as a small purse. In the picture above it's the back of the skirt so you can see the little bag. Super comfortable and super cute! I have two Athleta travel skirts now and anticipate that I will be wearing them all the time, not just for traveling.
-THESE Jolt Chinos from Nordstrom Juniors. I feel like an old woman in the Juniors sections, but it was the only section that had non-jean pants that I liked. I have a few pairs of jeans and wear them all the time. I'm pretty sick of them actually. I wanted cargo pants, or something that I could wear in place of jeans. These fit and look cute, but when I tried them on again today I'm not sure I'm sold on them. I may or may not keep them, but I do know of the 5 other stores I went to looking for pants these were the only ones I found that I even remotely liked. So, may keep them just because I know there isn't much else out there.
-Wrap watch. It was actually a free thing Fancy Frills was offering on their FB page, so I only paid for the shipping and handling. Score! It is super cute and it tells time, bonus. :) Go like them on FB, they have free offers all the time!
And, that is all my birthday stuff from Dad and Grandpa! A big thank you to both of them, I had fun shopping!!!
