Running Sucks! And a Giveaway Winner

What is the perfect shirt to toss on when you're relaxing on the couch after a 17 mile run?


I kid, I kid. Running most definitely does not suck. You know what else doesn't suck? These awesome shirts available from Kiley over at Daily Vitamin F.  She sells every color you can imagine, and they are so reasonably priced--you can't beat $8, can you?


And now...I know you're dying to find out who gets their very own Handful bra! I was shocked to have 250 comments on this one--I guess it was a pretty awesome prize! I plugged all the comments into Random.org to get the winner, and it was lucky #187--Nik from Two Yuppies and a Puppy! Congrats Nik!


After a run, what do you toss on?
I'm all about comfy sweats, PJs, and a big baggy shirt, most definitely!

What is a cool running clothing item/accessory/etc. you're dying to have?
I saw this top in the window of the lady foot locker in New Orleans and fell in love--but the store was closed! May have to bite the bullet and grab it online!

    Running does suck! Hahaha- just lately for me because I'm burnt out. I made a tank top before a 1/2 marathon I ran once that said "I hate running" on the front, and on the back, "but so does being lazy and unhealthy." At the end it was all about the front :)

    Aw, too bad, I know the manager at Lady Foot Locker at the mall here, could've got you a deal ;-) if you buy online look for a coupon code, they almost always have one for footlocker.

    I'm definitely a comfy shirt and baggy pants kind of person after a long run- but I add in either compression socks or sleeves underneath.

    As for cool running accessory- I've been coveting the entire Oiselle collection for the last few months. Love their stuff.

    I am dying to have a pair of padded spin shorts right now!! They are SO expensive!

    I definitely have days where that shirt would be totally appropriate. You could sell those Running Sucks shirts at mile 23 of a marathon and make a killing!

    That's a great shirt! I love catchy running shirts. My favorite one that I own is "Every Damn Day" which makes me feel empowered.

    It's sad, when I'm done running I usually chill in my sports bra and whatever bottoms I'm wearing until my shower or bed... it's gross but I'm usually too lazy. :X

    Running doesn't suck, but some runs DO suck! I can't wait to return to my post long run routine this weekend of ice bath, shower, comfy sweats (ok let's be serious - pjs) and compression socks. And tons of iced coffee. Yum.

Race the Bar 5k Recap (AKA: A Personal Worst!)

Do you remember a few weeks back, when I was all braggy about running in Florida in February/March? Sunny mornings around a lake with a light breeze off the water have turned, cruelly, into humid stretches of time where I am humbly reminded of my own limitations. You guys, I see these gazelle-like creatures, men and women alike, who prance on my running route with compression socks, a soft glow of perspiration at their brow. It's beautiful. It's also a harsh reminder that I am not them. I am currently running in the thinnest, smallest items of clothing I can without offending anyone (shirt stays on, people). I dare not step outside without some awful visor or wide-brimmed hat. When I hop in the shower after a run, my face is a deep crimson that causes my husband to voice his concern for my general well-being. Have I mentioned this is what happens after my easy runs, with a few walk breaks thrown in? Yeah. It's humbling. Now, I'm not complaining. It's beautiful

Brace Yourselves: Cuteness is Coming

One of the hardest things about moving, for me, was wondering how the cats would adjust each time. Although our cats are super travelers at this stage, I feel really guilty every time we have to pack them up and force them onto a plane. I remember my grandma telling me years ago that when she moved with a cat, they put butter on their paws. That way, the cats spent the first day in a new house licking their paws to get them clean, and that was enough time to lose the "smell" of the old house. I love that story, and I wish the same principle applied to longer moves. Anyway, that's a super long intro to say that for the fellow cat ladies out there, our three fur babies are insanely happy in this jungle gym of a home here in Florida. It's warm, there are plenty of sunny spots to curl up a take a nap, and they have lots of room to spread out. Despite the space, of course, they still usually want to take a nap on my head at night. Obviously. They also love climbing on ou

Running Jewelry Giveaway from The Run Home!

Running has a tendency at times to make me feel just a little less feminine that I might like. The curves might disappear just a little (well...the top ones at least. Bottom ones are still out in full force) and I spend more time fiddling with my Garmin than I do putting on make-up. So I love when I can show my interest in running with a beautiful, feminine piece of jewelry. I recently received two necklaces from the great people at The Run Home.   They have an Etsy store full of inspirational necklaces, bracelets and more for athletes. I received this beautiful necklace in the mail from them: A cute running shoe, heart, and a hand-stamped 26.2 charm. In all honesty, I don't think I'll wear this until I have finished the marathon in November. Kind of like wearing a race shirt before you completed the race! But it will make the perfect reward and I can't wait to wear it with pride. The Run Home sent everything to me perfectly packaged--like it was a gift. I loved that:
